That's the biggest let down for me, paying £40(£25 for me) and only the top main games having dedicated servers(Halo 3, cod 4?) I'm sure GTA will, if not there is going to be a lot of angry people out there!
This confused me as well, actually these games DO NOT have dedicated servers, but they do use their own servers for the matchmaking (but once the matching is done the host is on of the team members). Makes the mony for the game/online sub seem even worse VFM.
I was quite surprised when someone told me that is how it worked as I suddenly realised a lot of games that I thought were with hosted server's weren't!!

Wait for GameTrailer.com's inevitable fanboy fueled PS3 vs Xbox 360 comparison video.
If they were dedicated servers you wouldn't hear nearly as much trash talking from Americans because they would no longer have the host advantage.
I'm hoping Sony will get their backsides into gear and make most of their games have dedicated servers then MS would be forced to do the same (I can dream )
You make it sound like a serial killers ritual.everything has to be right
wait for zero punctuation to rip it to shreds
Do what i am doing and git both
If you don;t have any on pre order though, you might be playing San Andreas as a lot of places have stopped taking pre orders for all versions.
Also hardly any install for PS3 users as a scan of the boxart revealed shows it requires a tiny 3340KB of HDD space and is concerning me meaning it'll be streaming from blu-ray disc.
Sony first party games have dedicated server? That'll be why Resistance 2 will be 60 player online with 8 player co-op.

I was talking about most games that will appear on PS3 not just Sony's first party. Sony's first party will make up a small percentage of all the PS3 games released, which wouldn't be enough for MS to take notice.
They should just ban P2P gaming period
