Disgruntled consumers are nothing new but the select amount of people who have started and signed this petition appear real mad about the differences in quality between the PS3 version and the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
It's fair that they want the same product on the platform they choose to play and regardless of whether alot of people will call them childish it makes for an interesting read, looking at the points they make which include:
"Technically, the Playstation 3 can equal and/or out perform the Xbox 360 on many levels. Yet, the Triple A title BO was release on the Playstation 3 with sub-par graphics, buggy software and less features."
"Is it fair to charge PlayStation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 had the same amount of development time?"
"Is it fair to charge PlayStation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when the previous version (Modern Warfare 2) was equal on both systems but the updated version (BO) is not?"
"Is it fair to charge PlayStation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when the previous version (Modern Warfare 2 on PS3) looked visually better than BO looks now on PS3?"
"We are requesting a full refund for Call of Duty Black Ops!"

The petition appears to be garnering at least a small following as CVG report there is at least 148 on board as of now. I'd just say these things happen in the industry, inferior versions happen alot across the platforms and its not always one sided. Then again, it's understandable why they're pissed about it.
Here's the petition if you feel obliged to get involved - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/codbo/
From what I've experienced its not a lack in quality, the PS3 sometimes can only play games in 720p and rarely 1080i depending on how big your screeen is and if the game can support it, so the quality lacks. Im playing dead rising 2 on PS3 and it plays in 720p only and on 360 it plays 1080i all the time. The looks between both those definitions is actually alot from what ive seen so it makes the quality look shitty.

Yes of course it is at the end of the day you make your purchasing descision no the people that make the game. For years the PC had out performed console titles in visuals, gameplay and features yet they pay less for their games than console players, for a better experience.
This is the equivelent of saying i was not a fan of this film the production values where not great. YOU chose to buy it YOU chose not to wait for the reviews on different consoles to come out, its YOUR descision YOU pay for it.
