Xbox 360 NSF: Shift tries to access Playstation Store and fails
Need for Speed: Shift is a game that has been getting fairly positive reviews across the board. The game is definitely one of the better iterations to release in recent times. However, one blogger is calling it a bug-ridden piece of code as he alleges that his Xbox 360 version of the game tried to access the Playstation Store.
Need for Speed: Shift is one game that is on my radar for review as it is sitting in queue. However, those playing the game already are starting to report bugs and glitches for the game. I’ve had just a brief time playing the game and so far the visuals look stunning, especially the in-dash view gets pretty intense.
One blogger from Freakybits [via Kotaku] is reporting that the Xbox 360 version of the game has a serious glitch that may cross some fanboy boundaries. Allegedly, the blogger’s Xbox 360 version of NFS: Shift attempted to connect to the Playstation Store from his 360.
Apparently, the user was navigating through some menus and the game crashed for no apparent reason. When investigating the crash screen further, the gamer noticed an odd message at the top right corner of the screen with the Playstation Store name and even the logo.
If this is indeed the case then EA, Microsoft and Sony will all have something to say about this. I can’t even describe the number of fanboy laws that are being broken with this bug. First of all, you have an Xbox 360 version of the game crash, secondly the crash was caused by the version trying to connect to the Playstation Store, and finally the Playstation Store refused connection to the Xbox 360. The implications are paramount – okay, I know I’m being silly, but it’s still a humorous situation nevertheless. I’ll be playing through the Xbox 360 version so I will try to replicate this bug. Stay tuned for an update on this story and our review of Need for Speed: Shift.

Hey Roca,
I sent it again. My last name is German and has a ton of letters. People always slaughter it, but it’s actually not all that hard to pronounce. Maybe just try to copy and paste it.
I also sent you my back up email just in case.
If you don’t mind me asking.. how did you get extra codes? Do you work for GameStop?

I think Neir is supposed to be more of an action game, right? It’s so weird that they decided to make different PS3 and 360 versions of the game. I’m not really sold on either one just yet. I need to see more of them.
White Knight Chronicles looks really good. I really like the fact that the battle system is more like FF 12 and 13. I’m not a huge fan of action RPGs (Tales and Star Ocean). I like my RPGs to have more of a strategic element to the battles. There needs to at least be some form of a turn based system.

@BJ,
I got friends who work at gamestop. And also I know a Sony rep who gives me free shit all the time. I will send the code tomorrow, it going to on the network this Thursday anyways

September 28th, 2009
Hey Roca,
I got it. Thanks again! I’m going to download it now.
September 28th, 2009
So how is the MAG beta? I haven’t heard anyone mention anything about it yet?
September 28th, 2009
I havent played it much because I have to download a 4 GB update that takes about 30 Mins lol
but I was really fun, everybody is communication with eachother to use different tactics to take to complete objectives and take the enemy down. Also they game has tons of weapons and some of then are really cool, and also they have different classes. it also has a RPG feel because you gain XP in alot of different ways which unlocks different abilities, classes, weapons and more. you can also combine classes.
for a 256 player online game the game was running smooth at 30 FPS. there some glitches here and there but im sure they will get those fix by the time the game comes out.
September 28th, 2009
4GB update is insane. I’m guessing they must have fixed a lot of things, or maybe added content.
September 28th, 2009
yeah they most likely fixed many bugs…so what have you been playing lately
September 28th, 2009
I fucking LOVE MAG beta so far. Really looking forward to the full game, and plan on playing the beta as much as I can before its shut down.
September 28th, 2009
I was having trouble trying to figure out our team objective….couldnt tell from all these colors in the map. did you manage to figure it out Jofa?
September 28th, 2009
Obviously, red targets are the enemies locations and goals: Gun turrets and objectives, like barriers and trucks to steal, etc. They turn blue as they are defeated/taken over.
I mostly follow the HUD symbols that appear in your vision, to be honest, as they are the current high priority for the team.
September 28th, 2009
Glad to hear it’s turning out well.
I just finished my hard play through on Uncharted. I might try to platinum it before 2 comes out.
September 28th, 2009
you still need to beat it on Crushing
September 28th, 2009
I know I know. Is it really that hard? “Hard” wasn’t too bad, but there were a few spots that were… hard.
I need to youtube the steel fist, brutal expert, and Expert Dyno-Might.
September 28th, 2009
crushing is not that hard….you jsut have to be more tactical and use alot more cover
September 28th, 2009
Based on Metacritic
-Motorstorm – 82
-Motorstorm: Pacific Rift – 82
-Motorstorm: Arctic Edge – 82
That’s what I called consistency lol
September 28th, 2009

September 30th, 2009
Uncharted 2 FTW!
I’m pretty broke or else I would just buy both. I’m going to have to hold off on Demon’s Souls for now.
September 30th, 2009
Yeah, I am waiting a while before getting uncharted 2. I am gonna need a few months of solitude with Demon’s Souls.
October 1st, 2009
Hey Jofa,
are you going to Solo the game?
October 1st, 2009
I am going to feel it out in solo at first, and see how it goes from there. I plan on partaking in its online features, just want to learn the game before I do that. It has been a while sing I have learned a new game mechanic. I have Sacred 2 here, but know better than to get into an involving game like that only days before DS hits.
October 1st, 2009
I’m hoping for that game to be epic!
October 1st, 2009
even though the only game that I think can be consider EPIC is God of War 1 & 2
