You know, we Wii owners of this game aren't complaining. We don't have custom emblems or red dots,Split Screen Online Multiplayer and we are having a blast.
And it looks damn good too
Not trying to start any wars here, but honestly, the Wii's hardware and software is a little worse then the 360's and PS3's.
And...these PS3 owners are complaining why again? Oh right. And mind you because of what you said..Wii owners aren't complaining. Just the PS3 owners.
If Wii owners want to complain, then that should be taken up with Nintendo or whoever owns the Wii for not putting more hardware/software in the system.. The PS3 is pretty much capable of doing everything the Xbox can, but instead it was nerfed. THATS WHY PS3 USERS ARE COMPLAINING!

Sure there were bugs, but the game wasn't "unplayable". Besdies, the game is fantastic! This guy just needs to go cry to his mamma and let the rest of us Playstationites who bought the game play it and enjoy it in peace. If slight graphical differences make or break a game for him, then he should reconsider playing games in the first place.

Not everyone is you though. Just because you can play the game doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else. Why cant people understand that? I have medium problems with game, i get dropped out every other game or so, but i also have friends who literally takes like 30 mins just to find ONE game, even with Local search on.

The game is good, I can say that much. But it has too many problems.

I can think up on a better, less "whiney" solution to this:

Don't freaking buy ANYTHING from Activision. Ever again.

It concerns me that over 300 people signed it. Obviously that's 300 spoiled brats with an entitlement complex.

Plenty of people have played it on the PS3. They seem to have no problems. What are these people going on about?

I got Black Ops for the PC - it was a mess for the first two days after launch (much better now though). You don't have the right to demand a refund simply because you're not happy. Imagine if you could! I'd get a refund for every movie I've ever seen, and I'd demand that McDonalds gives me back money because I didn't like the French Fries!

This petition is doomed to failure, because if it actually did succeed, it would serve as a legal basis for customers to demand their money back for any reason under the sun.

My God, the PS3 version is just as good in just about every way. It's CoD, people camp and use cheap tactics to get ahead, it's just that Black Ops has a very good "fresh content to bullshit ratio". I'm satisfied with it...

Really, it's the Wii version that gets the short end of the stick on this one. That and almost every port of any game.
Your fault for playing good games on terrible platforms. Wii is basically motion-sensing last gen.

The Wii version doesn't have the Zombie map "Five", no splitscreen in any mode at all, no customizable emblems, and no Gunship or Chopper Gunner killstreak.

If anyone can complain, it should be the Wii owners. (I don't own the Wii version or have played the PS3 version, I know that from stuff my friend told me they don't have.)

Understand, right now it's the PS-3 users getting shafted apparently. However given Activision's track record, next time it could be you. Sitting there and saying "oh quit the whining" is exactly the kind of response you WOULDN'T want to get if you were the ones feeling wronged. Sadly it's a lack of any kind of solidarity even on important issues or when we're being exploited that allows this kind of thing to happen.
Exploitation? Solidarity? What are you, some oppressed minority, or a 19th century factory worker?

Games are GAMES PEOPLE. To try to elevate them to the same level as genuine civil rights or worker's rights issues is ludicrous and insulting to people who have genuinely suffered throughout history.

Activision published the game. Treyarch is owned by Activision. Activision has the right to charge XYZ for it.

Did any tax payer money go towards making Black Ops? I don't think so. Did you, personally, invest money into Activision to make Black Ops? Are you a shareholder? If you are, you should be ecstatic at the return you'll be getting for your shares!

Games are luxuries. Not necessities. They aren't a fundamental right. Only someone with a shaky grasp on reality would elevate Games to the same level as a civil right.

Look, I'm all for consumer protection and competition. I don't like it when companies scam customers. But charging what they want for a game they published and helped make, isn't evil. It's not immoral. It's not illegal.

If you really think Activision is "oppressing" you, then you haven't really lived. You're naive as hell, and have certainly, CERTAINLY never really been oppressed.

Begs the question why they aren't just going back to the shop they bought it from and using the age old "it's shit, I want my money back," argument.

Done politely it never fails. Although this way has far more drama for the Llama.
It might work for Walmart or Target, but Gamestop doesn't accept returns on new games unless they're defective. He'd get $20 bucks for it.
So he'd get the game's worth?

In all honesty, he just needs to deal with it. He got conned out of his money but a decent but over all sucky game in comparison to the hype it got (yes, i'm one of those people, but i think its rightly deserved on this game) and just wants to get his money back and look like he's make a statement so he doesnt look like a dumbass, something he's severely failing at at the moment. Just go trade it in, get a copy of MW2 and be quiet. Its things like this that make games terrible.

Thats a reference to the new SC V game that may/may not come out after fans decided to make a petition and is going to suck if its made, since on the large, no one at the studios that make it wanted to make the damn thing.

No problems with my PS3 version except a super human immortal Russian guy. Just the once though. Don't see why it can't just be his PS3 that's at fault if it's sooooo buggy.

Has anyone thought about the fact that despite PS3's powerful hardware. It is overall a more difficult platform to program games for.
