do have dedicated servers, but it's up to the devs if they want to use them or not.

This game is a mmo of sorts so using dedicated servers wouldn't help very much :P!

They do have dedicated servers but this is a SEGA game not an MS game. This is the same as PSN (for example), it is up to the developers who make the games to use dedicated servers. That would be crazy expensive if MS hosted every game released on the system with their own dedicated boxes.

Maybe this new X-Server thing MS is doing will allow folks to still play it on a smaller scale?

dedicated servers IS the reason why CH is being shutdown. Sega hosted their own. xbox live is a player-to-player service in itself, but Sega decided to pay for their own servers.

like EA, they apparently couldn't justify the cost of running the server with dwindling players online and decided to shut it down.

i really dont know why Sega and MS dont get together and released a patch to maybe implement a player-to-player option to at least have the ability to play with others online, like you know, 99% of all xbox games on xbox live -_-

not one of Sega, or EA's, best decisions

Sega, and EA, sometimes host their own servers. the downside to that is that once they shutdown a server, the online portions of the game gets nixed (i.e burnout 1+2 etc)

Sega paid for the server out their own pocket. i assume from the DLC that's sold.

uneducated? lets see who really is uneducated here...
slow lag times? in saying slow in association with lag you have ultimately nullified this statement meaning youve just stated that the ps3 connection is great
high death kill count...? boy you must suck hard at gaming, what the f does the server have to do with how bad you are?
speaking of pieces of crap, they still havent fixed rrod have they
yeah because we so care about playing with lame celebrities, you have failed in attempting to impress anybody
