" how the hell is something like this not caught by the QA team? Such a simple sounding bug to find in my opinion "

To be fair, probably because most people don't have 100 friends? QA probably doesn't think to test for it, because who has 100 friends?  The gaming press. That's who. "

Actually, most people I've played with have 100 friends, due to real life friends, tournaments, clans, and the like.  I have just over 80 at the moment, so it's not a totally unheard of thing to have 100 friends. "

They need to test games on actual retail consoles more before they ship these games.

Bummer, but at least this is a pretty exclusive glitch, and fairly understandable that they didn't catch it. I wonder if 100 friends is just too much for the system to handle as it is right now? Weird, but glad the fix will be soon.

Have to agree, having a full friends list on a game that doesn't really have a heavy online multiplayer like CoD MW2, this has to be one of the strangest bugs I've heard of in a while.

anyone know whats the max out limit?  is it the full hundred?

this is an insanely odd little glitch. i have never wanted to have that many people on my friend's list anyway. unfortunately, the resultant  problem that I have is that i am almost always left with very few friends online and playing when i am available.

Im not popular enough for this to affect me. Still funny though :)

" Not going to be an issue for me.  No friends, and I don't play DJ Hero.  I do however, drink a lot. "

Good to hear they're patching it so soon but the game should never have gone out in that state in the first place.

So nobody who played this game had a full friends list you would think that at least one dev would be way into it. This is also something that should have come in QA, as testing weird scenarios like that is a basic part of the process.

Glad I have this on my Christmas list

On the bright side of this glitch, if you have XBox live, you'll get the patch and it'll be fixed. And if you don't have XBox live, you won't have 100 friends to worry about.
 
So this will be completely a nonissue once the patch comes out, which is really convenient. Unlike some game breaking bugs that screw over people who don't get patches *cough* Metroid Other M *cough*.

" Good thing I have no friends "

I hear that!

" I REALLY doubt that QA missed that. I work in QA (not for Activision) and this is one of the first thing we test when we get a new game (btw entering 70-75 friend codes on a Wii is not fun lol).   This looks more like a big Microsoft fail. I really can't understand how MS Cert missed that... "

I also doubt QA missed it. I would not blame MS as a whole and no comment on cert, that stuff is locked up. 

" Programming is hard.   Pour one out for QA. They don't get much love, but they are key to the entire operation. "

It is a miracle any game gets to a polished state. Thanks and QA pours a lot out for themselves, haha : )

what about when xbox live gets updated to support 1000 friends?
Will the DJ Hero Turntable catch on fire while playing?
 
Actually, that sounds pretty Dope.
