I bought a copy of F1 2011 for PS3 and fired it up. In order=20
to access certain areas of the game, I had to input a code=20
when signed up to the Sony PlayStation Network, which was=20
verified via the Internet.
If I had no connectivity, I'd never be able to access those=20
portions of the game.
Needless to say, a lot of games are now pushing massive=20
updates via the Internet; on the order of hundreds of MB.
