Dear Konami: sort it out. The delivery of MGO update Gene Expansion, has ended in yet another online calamity, with users paying for content and not receiving it, and the closure of Konami’s MGO servers due to demand.
There’s more on Kotaku. Maybe, we dunno, buy some more servers?

If only Sony had their own servers that people could play on instead.

Then they’d simply be called copycats by the xbox fraternity.
Sony give developers the option of letting THEM decided how they want to do things. Different developers have different levels of competency. Resistance launched with hitherto unseen standard of 40 player multiplayer FPS on a console. COD4 had server issues. Burnout Paradise, again, does things its own way.
At least when one developer’s online servers get borked at Christmas you won’t be locked out of evey single online game you own on your PS3. Nor be paying for it as it happens.
Not that I can ever imagine something like that happening. No sir.

Sony do have their own servers. Warhawks et al is running on them.
More to the point is theres nothing wrong with the actual game, its running perfectly fine. In order to buy things from the online store, thanks to Konamis endless wisdom you have to do it through the PS3s internal browser and go to a specific konami site.
All the pack contents were d-loaded along with the new patch, so everyone that got that patch has the pack. They just need to buy the key for it (like everybody’s Golf DLC).
So its just Konami’s web-side stuff thats borked.

Unseen standard Shatner? There was a 50 player online game on the original xbox and PS2.

Should have use PSN for MGO, I reckon they probably regret making their own system for it now.
I like the look of the update though, I’ll have to grab it once it’s all fixed up.

I never saw it. So it didn’t happen.
Especially without anyone naming names.

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down. I was wrong btw… it was only 50 players on the xbox, 32 on the PS2.
