friend just said he things its some kind of new ap2.5 check
I agree with this, didnt the other games with ap2.5 also just boot to a black screen before the ap2.5 firmware update???
It's possible that the update has just enacted ap2.5 checks on some current popular titles that previously didnt have it. Maybe the timing is perfect to spike black ops sales due to the pending release of the new map pack.
