Call of Duty: Black Ops PS3 owners asking for full refund

Despite selling like gangbusters across all platforms, some Playstation 3 owners aren't happy with their version of Call of Duty: Black Ops and have started an online petition demanding a full refund.

PS3 owners complain of sub-par graphics and online play with Black Ops. Demand money back.

The complaints center around the PS3 version of the game being sub-par compared to the Xbox 360 version. According to the petition, Call of Duty: Blacks Ops has "sub-par graphics, buggy software and less [sic] features" and that Treyarch "created a unfinished, sloppy and degenerate game for the Playstation 3 console when the Playstation 3 has games that out shine the Call of Duty Franchise today."

The petitioners also point to a recent article from productreviews.net claiming that the PS3 version was "gimped" compared to the Xbox 360 by not allowing gamers to sign into more than one account while playing the game in split-screen. A feature that the Xbox version has.

For its part, Treyarch has already released a number of patches and server updates to fix issues with not only Black Ops for the PS3 but the PC and Xbox 360 versions too.

The number of individuals demanding a refund for their PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops has reaced nearly 3,800 signatures. Whether or not Activision takes these demands seriously while CEO Bobby Kotick and his accountants look at the monstrous sales figures looks doubtful.

Mine seems fine.

A refund from Activision? Good luck.

Maybe they shouldn't buy crappy shallow games to begin with, then they won't set themselves up for disappointment.

My games works perfectly fine, I do hate the split screen for it though, could be much better..

I didn't say that. It's from the article.

Activision doesn't know the meaning of "Refund" So good luck fellow PS3 users in trying that :P

I guess that did seem like it was directed towards you. Meant it for the protesters. Sorry about that.

my version seems really good, the graphics are nice and the online got better since release. whatever though.

Game locked up my PS3 a few times when my brother was playing the other night.I haven't touched it since I am waiting for until it gets fixed.Plus I can't refund the game even if I wanted to me and my two brothers pitched in to buy the game.

look at it this way, atleast ps3 gamers arent paying to play it online, like xbox360 gamers.

The ps3 version is not that bad all.

they should know multiplats are better on the 360 ;)

I'd rather pay $50 a year than have my game not work.

My friend actually sent me this on facebook, just to see what I thought about it. I think it's stupid, you bought the product and no matter what you say, people are going to keep buying it. So the petition is pointless in my opinion

I played in on thanksgiving and it's still is not up to par, hit detection is off, bad spawns etc. I'm holding off a little longer, I'll get New Vegas instead.FIipMode

They're wasting their time.Immortal--

^ this. Also: Wasn't it pretty much known that they got paid for the entire "best on 360" thing?

Which is why I will NEVER buy another Call of Duty game (including black ops) new. I always buy Activision games used so they dont get any money from it.

Why is it only PS3 and not xbox 360 and PC?

Damn I didn't know it was that bad for the PS3.

I'm sure the petition is far too small to make a meaningful impact. Also take into account, its a Call of Duty game. Developers could release Modern Warfare 1 again with different textures and gun art and people would still buy at. It's a sad time to be a gamer watching newcomers buy into this complete and utter trash of a quality franchise.

they are wasting there time. a refund from Activision. lol :P

A refund from Activision? Good luck.

idk it seems fine to me. I also ahve seen the 360 version.

This does not affect your satisfactory rights.

My version works fine :?.

People these days think that suing is going to fix their problems, pfft. I stubbed my toe on a sidewalk, does that mean I sue the sidewalk?

Heh, heh, heh...

I haven't heard 360 Black Ops owners asking for a refund.

Of course, it's a good game, I'm sure, on all systems. Sure, it has some issues with lag, but I'm confident those issues will be fixed. It's an otherwise killer game.

And good luck getting that refund from Activision-- I'm dubious of the success of such an endeavor, especially, as one person mentioned in this thread, Activision looks at its massive sales of the game. Then again, 60(3800) = $228000 would probably be a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of copies sold...
