Resistance downloadable content pushed back a week

Remember that Resistance: Fall of Man patch we told you about? The one which was due out before the end of May? Well it won't be. Unfortunately CVG is reporting that we'll have to wait another week before we get our hands on the new maps and other goodies.

It turns out that, while the content is all finished, tested and ready to go, SCEA is stalling in order to make sure the global servers are "locked in and ready." So if you're angry and want to start blaming someone then blame Sony, not Insomniac. It's disappointing, we know, but a week isn't all that long to wait. It's probably for the best that they get everything completely ready, rather than unveiling new servers which break within the first hour.

June 7th is the day to keep in mind for the release. Remember to tell your loved ones not to get worried if they don't see you for a day or two. We know you'll want to hide yourself away and show off your Chimera fragging prowess to people all over the world, now that you're able. Or Human fragging prowess, if you're that way inclined. Actually, we thought that a nice way to celebrate the new global servers might be to have you guys come kick our asses. Add our PSN ID to your friendslist - PSFanboy - and look out for us on Saturday the 9th of June from 1PM EST onwards.

this is mega old news, by reading the headline I thought we would have to wait another week, as in June 14th, seriously guys this is way old, you should've posted this on thursday

It must suck to live on a blog and count news age in days. It must suck even more to turn around and criticize the poster because of the 3 day discrepancy.

Maybe it's the newest form of "Old News" syndrome from Digg where anything posted 30 seconds after an original post was considered old or duplicate.

Ah, the internet...where your a total loser for having a real life.

I completely agree with Mishi.

A better story would be the Vegas delay, which as of today is now coming out on June 26th instead of June 12th. Great news for people like me who already paid for the damn game in full...

"Great news for people like me who already paid for the damn game in full..."

And who's fault is that?

"And who's fault is that?"

Gamestop's.

@mccomber: What, does gamestop now sneak into your house at night, steal your money and preorder the game for you while you're sleeping? It's no one's fault but the consumer's.

On that note, how often does it occur that a game is released and the initial shipment ISN'T enough? I can't recall one game (mega-hit or not) that was sold out when I walked into the store late the day it came out. Is there a point to pre-ordering? Seriously, I'm asking here.
