It's just as well. I tried to play one final time the other night. Wouldn't connect; then I went into split screen, came back out, and was in a ModSpot with others. Tried to race... endless waiting screen. I backed out of that and was "offline". Same shit as before, with me being able to download stuff but not play.
I was hoping to have reason to reconsider my decision to trade the game in since I hate getting rid of games, but the new game price has dropped to $39.99 and Amazon's giving me $27 in credit that can go toward Rock Band 3. That's a pretty damn good deal. I will re-buy the game at $20 for the single player, most likely, down the line. I will break my tradition of only buying new, however, since UFG doesn't deserve my support after they repeatedly ignored all e-mails and phone calls and never got the online working for anyone with Verizon internet.
I wonder if I can get anything for my Sackboy DLC code? Probably not.
