People say that we shouldn't complain about problems with PSN since it's free. But it's still in competition with XBL, and Sony will lose business to them when stuff like this happens. I bought the PS3 version of Portal 2 this week because of the Steam integration, but now I can't play the co-op online unless I install the PC version, which I know won't run as well on my laptop. I picked up Mortal Kombat for 360 today, but I probably would've grabbed the PS3 version (because fuck yeah Kratos) if it weren't for this.

I use my PS3 as a Blu-Ray player more than I use it as a gaming machine. They release firmware updates more often than I turn it on. And they take forever.

You're not getting a freebie for your trouble, unless you're a Playstation Plus subscriber. Count on it.

This better not happen when Twisted Metal comes out.
