PlayStation Store ‘Shifts’ Onto Xbox 360
Need for Speed: Shift, the first title from developer Slightly Mad Studios, has come under recent fire as of late for the number of bugs the title has. One bug is so strange in fact, that even Microsoft may not be pleased by it.
“EA’s new Need for Speed Shift is the most bug-ridden piece of code I have witnessed in recent times.”, says Freakbits user enigmax today. The reason for this post? The title wanted to access the PlayStation Store … on the Xbox 360.
When navigating menus today while connected to Xbox Live the game suddenly crashed again. When my rage had subsided and I got a better look at the screen, I was pretty shocked at what I saw.
Was my Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed Shift really trying to access the Playstation Store? Microsoft are not going to be happy about this.
Funny story, right? Post your thoughts on this story in the comment section below!

I wonder if MS will have to pay sony royalties for having the PSN logo appear on their 360? lol (just kidding, but it would be funny wouldnt it?) its like when u play a champions league game on fifa on the 360, because of the tournament sponsors, there are playstation logos all over the place lol (and yes i know its intentional but still a poke in MicroShafts eye eh?)

if true, that’s pretty funny.
I hate it when a game feels rushed out, you know, let the game out now fix
the bugs in a later patch. not cool imho

I wouldnt say its bug-riden, maybe the online store section but everything else in the game works just fine. People see one flaw like this and spaz out and say its got too many bugs. I think this dude ran into something crazy but still the only reason you are on the store in this game is to buy the cars instead of racing to unlock them, which is a pretty lame way to play.

I completed the career and didn’t have any problems with bugs, maybe there are only a lot of bugs in the 360 version.

obviously it wants to shop at the psn store
September 28th, 2009 at 12:02 PM
can you really blame a game for wanting to be on a better system?
September 28th, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Hahahaha wow.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:58 PM
It would have been even funnier if it allowed you to purchase DLC.

XD @posts/PS Store on the game

Freakin hilarious, even a Xbox game wants to be on the PSN.

LMFAO looks like the cars themselves have spoken and perfer to be bought on the Playstation Store.
Real money > Space bucks with weird conversions. Who the hell wants to spend 160 points on something that costs 1.99 when the 160 points cost 2.00 anyway? At least Nintendo had the balls to do a penny to point system for easy conversion. I had someone ask me why a 1600 point add on was 4 dollars cheaper than a 20 dollar add on. See stupid people can’t do the conversions so they think that they’re getting a special deal.
People need to sue Microsoft for attempting to mislead customers.

i see what your saying with the point system… 3 rockband songs as a pack is 2.99….where as… each song by themselves is 99 cents a piece….which 1 would u buy :b

September 29th, 2009 at 12:02 PM
LOL! Its probably cause it wants real money… not Microsoft Points.
September 29th, 2009 at 12:17 PM
@ SpeCtR
No thats an example of things being cheaper when bundled together, not microsoft points.
@Makai
Microsoft points are genius really, they aren’t telling people they get a deal, but if the people think they are, you’re making money for nothing. You can’t sue microsoft for having a good idea.
