Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Issues on PS3

PlayStation 3 owners are apparently having serious issues with online multiplayer on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, apparently caused by a patch to fix a trophy glitch.
[Infinity Ward's Robert] Bowling, PS3 owners can expect a “party invite update by Friday,” which should hopefully resolve this issue. Until then, players will have to make due with the single-player campaign. It’s not like this “multiplayer” thing is important, right?…
…Update 2: Tipster Brent point us to yet another tweet, this time from Robert Bowling who confirms the multiplayer downtime is caused by server overload. According to Bowling, “Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so.” Seems this mysterious “3rd party” infrastructure simply cannot match the Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live.
The moral of the story is: you get what you pay for.

it was’t server related at all. infinity ward wrote a bad patch. thats all there is to it. if it was server related then i wouldn’t have had to patch my game to 1.02 to fix it. server issues don’t need patches.
so to cover there ass for their “ooops!” they blamed it on the server.
small mistake that caused big problems because someone overlooked something simple.

Stop acting like Modern Warfare 2 is the only game to have serious multiplayer issues on the PS3. Borderlands, for a still-continuing problem.
