I am hoping this can be a short lived thread. And I apologize I could not for the life of me find an answer. Then I thought of more questions >.<

What was the reasoning PSN never got an official tournament that was held on Xbox?

What good, if any, would a petition do to get one?

Would someone involved with running the original Xbox tournament shed some insight on do's n don't? Perhaps members of the community could promote and host there own.

I think the main reason is because PSN CC doesn't have the same user base as Xbox live. The reason they hosted the tournament for Xbox was to celebrate reaching 2 million users. I don't think PSN has anything close to that number yet. :\

i have a strange feeling that another CC tourney is coming up next year to celebrate 5 years of Castle Crashing.

Wow, I knew it was lower but I didn't think it was that much lower. I think Xbox hit 2.5 million a few months ago.

How good or bad is the community though? Playing with randoms on Xbox is a nightmare. Just starting a game is bad enough. You pretty much have to host just so you don't get kicked before the game even begins. Then people usually end up quitting after one or two levels and there's always the infamous high pitch "Hello?" of some 8 year old who will make you beat your head against the wall.

When I did play, I wouldn't ever play story online (you can ask Half about that), but there are an unreal amount of boosters in arena in order to get the 40 wins trophy. But really, how can you blame them when it takes upwards of 15 minutes to find a match? But I won't deny I made some of my best online friends on this game.

The last time I played, the Arena was barren. There are several kids on PSN that ask me, "Whoa, GameCrazy, how did you get all the gold skulls? Can you hack my account too?!" and "Add me plz I want you to teach me how to fly." I don't play Online Story because either I get kicked too much from lobbies, or because everyone is a complete noob that wants to play Normal Mode.
It's twice as bad on PSN, compared to XBLA.

Hopefully the Blacksmith Pack comes out soon so a few good players come back for a while, though.
