Only within the last three weeks has Neversoft received its PS3 beta kits, a black horizontal box about one foot wide by two feet long and two inches deep, with a slew of buttons and dials on its front deck. Neversoft is confident the PS3 version of the game will ship at launch in November, but it still hasn't received all of the software libraries and has no indication of how the online components will work on PS3, so it's not offering themSounds very peculiar that SCEI is still keeping their online service this tightly under lid for 3rd party developers. We know that they've shown first party titles online so it's there.

I think they mean "received its latest PS3 beta kits", I can't imagine they've put their PS3 code into work on real machines in 3 weeks. I know that at least some devs have started their work with the IBM's full system simulator but it's somehow strange if that's the case here.

Strange because Ridge is 3rd party and that's going to be online and it's going to be robust, I can't believe Neversoft is essentially handicapping their own product, I doubt EA is having problems, this is a no buy for me, they're going to have a very hard time trying to convince me to go back to the series once I've taken a break, especially after this little stunt they've pulled, it's not like Call of Duty 3 (also published by Activision) is having problems with online either.
