no surprise there if its over 150mb thats it,downloads are the future says ms,well sony seem to think so look at the games they have coming and already have, there way over that limit by far on the psn site.

I agree with you, ms should have a seperate store from XBLA for larger games. XBOX originals is one store, XBLA arcade the next, there should be something in the middle to allow for downloadable games

MS offers HDD's at a ridiculous mark-up...then screws the people that have them left and right, just so the 20 people left still using memory cards don't feel left out...

MS is AWESOME...

in either case...this game is dump...Fatal Inertia sucked...this 'revamp' will suck...good luck to koei going up against Wipeout HD...they will need it...

This is probly what they should've done from the start rather than waist so much money making and promoting a hard copy of a crappy game.

TheHater5858d ago

This game is going to get cruch by Wipeout HD

rushbd5858d ago

i dont even mind if they dont release the game at all.

i cant believe was excited about it someday.

JoelR5858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

I still am excited about it... not like I was at launch though
It still sounds like a fun game and if they really did fix the 360 issues it should be a good game as well.

Dark Zero Review: Fatal Inertia EX

Dark Zero writes: "Fatal Inertia EX is the PlayStation 3 release of the year-old Xbox 360 game Fatal Inertia and is available now as a download from the PlayStation Store, for a fee of course.
Set in a futuristic world where mega-corporations control everything from government to entertainment, Fatal Inertia has become the most popular, and dangerous, pastime. The best drivers race in cars that hover over all types of ground, from molten lava to coastal inlets.

Sounds exciting doesn't it? Unfortunately, in the early stages of the game it isn't. I know that the earlier levels are supposed to be easy for beginners to grasp the controls, but in my eyes they were just uneventful, boring and didn't make me thrilled about playing on. Fortunately I did, otherwise this would be a very short review, and by the time you get halfway through the 'Professional League' it gets a bit trickier and somewhat more enjoyable. The tracks are short which means that the races are quick and if you get stuck in the crowd with the rest of the racers, it can get very chaotic, which is where the races get interesting. A side effect of the tracks being fairly short, sometimes the race is over before you know it and suddenly you're in second when you thought you could overtake the guy in front on the next corner to take home a win which gets a bit annoying.
The races are based on six different areas with all the course"
