Okay, I just got the Orange Box for my PS3 today. Whenever I try to play TF2, a screen comes up that says "trying to connect to EA servers" then after about 20 seconds it says "Unable to Connect to EA servers". Is it my internet connection, that is working fine with every other online game I have, or is it just that EA has incredibly terrible servers?

Can anyone who has had server problems with the PS3 version of TF2 help me??

I have it. And its a p.o.s. I play it mainly for HL2 and Portal. Theres so many glitches apperently. I played one online game. It had 4 people in it including me. Either play it on PC or pray they release all the new updates on the PS3 to get the community alive again.

I have the exact same problem. I went to the Orange Box Forum and alot of people seemed to agree that there is a glitch on the PS3 where if you have more than 39 friends you cannot connect to Team Fortress 2. I have about 75 on my normal account so I decided to make a 2nd account to see if this was the problem. Sure enough, I didn't have any problems connecting on the 2nd account, but it still doesn't work on my 1st account. Whether or not that was the whole problem, I don't know, but it sure seems right to me.

Unfortunately the only solution seems to be to get the 360 version. I have under 39 friends like this guy above me was talking about and I still can't connect.

TF2 for consoles sucks. Get it for PC, you get mods, new maps, and updates for free. And there aren't any bugs.

TF2 is said to be the sore spot on the OB PS3 port, it's best avoided altogether.
