DiRT 3 launch to be hindered by PSN outage?

Codemasters' DiRT 3 is set to come out this week, but will fans really be able to enjoy it?

As you may very well know, DiRT 3 is scheduled to come out in a mere couple of days. Because the PSN is yet to be fully restored, however, there is the big possibility - and in fact, it's already being expected - that the game won't be fully functional come launch, because it will of course be missing its online components.

The PS3 retail version of the game will be having the VIP pass code, which can only be redeemed through the PSN Shop. Thing is, PSN Shop is still down, and so not only will the gamers be unable to play the online modes of DiRT 3, they will also be unable to redeem their custom vehicles, or even just to upload their gameplays up on YouTube.

There might be a miracle, though. After all, DiRT 3 won't be out till May 24th. Maybe something will happen before then, and thus fully restore PSN back online.

would be a shame for those fans who have been waiting for this, though.

I think if the PSN were to come back online tomorrow Sony would have said something already on the blog.

Also not interested in this game either. There aren't any games coming out that interest me until November.

FFS with all this passcode crap. I really wish publishers would take a soddin' run and jump with that idea already.

So no worries. Look at Brink. Now that was a problem with PSN down.

I never buy games with Passcodes. I declined to get mortal kombat because of it.
