Is this something the Microsoft certifiers missed? Could you elaborate on the quicker resubmission process? Any way you could convince Sony and Microsoft to speed up the process with the second patch or give it more priority (aside from a bribe, unless EA is willing to do so)?

The certification process basically is:
1. Our internal guys test it
2. EA central QA (CQC) tests it
3. Microsoft/Sony (3rd Party) tests it
4. MS puts the patch up/Sony tells me I can put the patch up

Step one doesn't take very long usually because our guys are committed to our game. CQC takes a little longer usually because they also have to worry about other EA titles. 3rd Party takes even longer than that, because they have to worry about every single title on the platform.

I won't discuss what the small issue is right now, and trust me, you don't want me to. Ask me again in a couple months... you'll laugh, I promise. I will say it was a PS3 only type of thing, so it wasn't a factor on 360.

The fact that our guys, CQC, and Sony have all looked at the patch already means they won't need to be as extensive with it when it comes back through. We're trying to leverage the fastest possible turnaround with Sony by playing the "360 already has it" card.

The second patch should still be on schedule for both platforms.

I guess it's not their job to not make buggy software...If you were paying $60.00 for filet mignon and ordered it medium rare, but it was cooked to well done, would you be saying, "The chef did his best,"?
