From what's been said it's not a matter of just tweaking a little code, or even tweaking a lot of code. The root programming is simply not compatible with the PS3's processors. Short of rebuilding the entire game from the ground up, I don't think it can't be fixed.

Yeeesh.

What's the law like in the U.S on these things? Do you have a legal right to a refund on non-working products?

I'm not familiar with U.S. law (hell, not even familiar with the laws of MY own country), but I guess a class-action lawsuit would be the path to go here.

And yeah, the Skyrim PS3 fiasco depends largely on the system's hardware, and the way its RAM is allocated as opposed to that of the 360. It's a structural problem that lies much deeper than only game code.

Yikes, class action.

Here you have a legal right return faulty goods or goods that aren't as described. You go to the store and demand it, otherwise you go to a small claims court, represent yourself. You don't sue for thousands or anything you just present your case to a small panel or judge.

But it's probably better to write to the shop's business complaints dept first.

Yep, a class-action suit is probably what will happen should Bethesda not man up and announce a product recall. I don't know, I guess a large part of it will come down to the owners of the game. Most of the issues doesn't occur until the 65 hour mark or so. You have to really decided whether or not most gamers will play that long. There's some stat out there that could be pretty bogus, but it did state that only like 20% of games sold get completed.

Ahhhh well, I'm just happy that a lot of media sources are now picking it up and its becoming fully public knowledge.  Hopefully it'll make other devs start weighing if they should be developing mult-platform games as often as they do.

I find them mildly insulting. If you're in court and about to judged, to have someone in a black cape and grey curly wig is just beyond the pale.

If I was a british judge I would wear my wig everywhere.

Shopping for groceries? WIG

Picking up some new undergarments? WIG

Going to church? WIG

Trip to the beach? WIG. With a thong.

You know the Irish judges wear those wigs too, but after their economic meltdown they ended the wig wearing as a cost-cutting measure. Apparently each wig costs something like $4,000 dollar and they get new ones once a year or so.

This looks epic.

Crystal Bearers Chocobo racing wasn't that exciting though.
