Capcom: Sony's software approval process takes two weeks

If a game passes the evaluation, then it's all done. But, if it fails, then the process continues. Sven explains further, "...you generally want to get reports from SCEA and SCEE, fix all issues and resubmit to both at the same time. ... It's usually about five to six days after a fail report before you're resubmitted and the process begins again. It's usually another two weeks minimum before you could possibly have approval (and that's assuming you don't bounce a second time)." So, if you ever read another quote from a developer stating "'we're just waiting on approval from Sony," you now have an estimate of how long that wait is going to be.

So how on earth did SOCOM manage to get by these guys with that amount of time to look at it? Don't get me wrong, I love the game when it works well. It just doesn't work well very often. Surely they might have had some sense of that? I know they can't reproduce server load....or maybe they can....but the fact that SOCOM got released that buggy was a travesty.

Yeah I have been playing the hell out of Fallout 3 and it makes me wonder if Sony didn't just green-stamp it just to make their release date. The game is so buggy with the crash-to-XMB moments and all the other things wrong with it.

My first response is "no wonder this generation of games has been a buggy mess." Sony sure isn't doing much QC gatekeeping on a 10 day turnaround.
Of course, it's primarily the responsibility of the game company to do the testing, but still.

how does it compare to MS and Nintendo? I doubt nintendo gives any thought for product sent their way with so many crap games out..
