PlayStation Store Update – 4th June

Thx Mike Kebby 4 your fast reply:)
I will be patient.

I don’t know if I’ve missed it or something… But when is Wolfenstein 3D coming to the European Store? It seems the American one got it already, and even PEGI seemed to have it listed so I suppose it IS coming to Europe as well. The question is: When?

FNR4 Demo is brilliant… Great store update too.

Hey Mike, thanks for FFVII and Trash Panic btw. I just wanted to know how easy it is to get first party ps1 games on the store? Don’t you just go through a database and click upload or something like that? How do you decide which PS1 games to put on next? I want Spyro games please. XD

have u seen the margaritaville episode of south park its just like how the economy is decided in that

Wow, cool with the free R2 skins and the free Motorstorm Livery. Nice

I don’t understand hedges1001.

Great update, will be downloading FF7 at some point and Trash Panic (depending if it’s online multiplayer).

Question though: is it possible for you guys to put the size of the download next to the title,(or next to the PEGI symbol) as opposed to clicking download, then our hard drive, then we find out how big the file actually is?

Thanks in advance

FFVII……I’ll have to prepare to lose 48 solid hours of my life again….let me just write a note to my girlfriend…

“Gone to fight Shinra in Midgar….
Back for tea Sunday…maybe Monday if I go for the Knights of the Round…
xxx”

@stone

I hear you there mate.

God knows how many hours I have spent on that game, getting all materia and levelling every party member up took me about 60 hours on the PS1, about 50 hours on the PC version and now I’ve gone and downloaded it again!!!!

I’m very happy for FFVII, this game is timeless.
Please Mike Kebby, do the best for FFVIII and FFIX, they have so much fans too.

And secretly I hope in the next years, PS2 games in Ps Store too. Because now there are maybe 10% of PS2 games that are available in stores, it’s too hard to find some of these PS2 games.

I think you are aware, that you have an incredible database of Psone and PS2 games, and we are ready to buy these games in PS Store.

Cheers for SCEE team, do your best.

When will the Sony Press Conference be uploaded onto the Store in HD?

Also is there a store update on Friday (today) for the UK?
I thought that this week during E3 there will be content on the the store all week.

FINAL FANTASY VII! BEST UPDATE EVER!

Mike, I know its probably not the responsibility of the Store team.
But is there any chance you could grab hold of someone who might know about a Euro release for The Last Guy trophy and DLC patches, and drag them to a keyboard and make them spill the beans?

Its just a bit irritating when Japan and North America have been patched and told when they’re getting DLC whilst Europe is left totally in the dark. We haven’t even been officially told that we will get the patches.

Just confirmation that the patches will come to Europe at all would be a start.

(Re: Last Guy & Blast Factor patches)
Thanks for listening to our comments and keeping us updated, Mike!

FFVII on PSP is amazing. If we get MGS1 my life would be complete

Thanks Mike

Happy that FF7 is out i never got play it when it first came out

Any idea when the first fallout 3 DLC will hit the store?

FINALLY in the German Store
started downloading it

Thank you for that SCEE

best update ever! I just did an all nighter on FF7 cheers SCEE!

I do have a question if scee or a representative have an answer, but why is the Marvel vs Capcom 2 demo local multiplayer only???

What is the bug for the french version ?

The french community feel unlucky with the SCE.
Please resolve et upload the game on PSN asap ^^

Nice update! Cheers.

bad news… I was expecting so much to play FF7 during this week end…
Maybe you can add the english version on the french store ?? please…

+1 with Ishar

Just put the English version up on the French store please?

US store got Wolfenstein 3D today…no Europe release so far.and no demo of it.

X360 users in Europe got it yesterday and there is a demo of it alsow….shape up PSN!

So now we gots FF7, where’s FF8/9, FFtactics, vagrant story, Ridge Racer Type 4, Resident Evils, There are thousands of PS1 games out there and we only have 40 odd out. Why do they take so long to come out.

BRING BACK FANTAVISION

beeen a great store upadate this week id like to see the figures on how many people actually downloaded ff7 over the last few days i bet it shifted loads of copies

“We are looking to rectify this matter asap, but it looks like this version won’t be available until sometime next week.”

OMG no :’( i was so happy to have it for the week end :’(

I love this blog, really!

Can you confirm whether Bomberman Ultra will be getting a european release next week alongside the US release?

Also are we ever gonna see catan as i see it teasing me on the Hong Kong store.

So is FFVII that will appear on the French store only in French???

10 euro and is not even in Italian. SquareEnix = Fail

@goggio – bit harsh considering i dont even think the original game was released in italian!

I personnaly am not specially interested in the french translation of final fantasy 7, the english version would have done. Why don’t we have the choice between the different languages ?

I am especially annoyed by this because I live in England and I can’t access FF7 because the account I created a year ago is locked to ‘France’.
Do I need to create a different account every time I buy a game ?

I understand locking the accounts to Europe – US – Asia – etc… But within Europe we should be able to change the main country.

@Kosada – the problem being is that every country in the EU has varying copyright and trading laws in relation to digital downloads (its a very grey area)! So in europe SCEE has to lock our accounts to our country in order to trade without risk! Thats also why its against the terms and conditions of the PSN to import software from other store regions using psn vouchers!

@Gambe1984 – Indeed, for this would have to translate it into Italian

@goggio – Square arent going to spend time translating a old school game when they have bigger fish to fry *AHEM* FF13 and versus

I understand the general idea, but still now that I actually live in England it bothers me to be limited to a set of game defined for a country I don’t live in anymore. I don’t want to have to use two psn accounts.

( thx for the swift answer Gambe ^^)

You can create a new account with your new address, the simply use it to purchase from the UK store then use your main account to play it. Thats not breaching Terms and conditions!

Sorry mis-read that, i understand what you mean about the 2 accounts, but its an unfortunate situation which sony simply cannot rectify.

If it helps though Kosada, like i say, you can create a new account to purchase UK content, i know it means having another account, but you can just enable auto login on startup therefore it shouldnt be too much of a pain, because you have already purchased the content, you arent restricted to using it on that profile.

Profile 1 (French) – Can be used to play Profile 2 (UK) content because the content is activated on the system, not on the profile you purchased it from.

So essentially its like having an invisible back door. Still a pain! But its the only way you can possibly get round it.

Hope this helps >.<

I prefer to have the choice to tbh, My money still good at the end of the day, I can buy games from a shop in the UK and get it send to France so I can’t see why I can’t buy a game on the UK store with a french credit card which is after all a Visa card which is accepted all over the world.

Seriously Europe needs PSN cards

If you live in england, then surely your credit card should be registered to a UK address? If not then its a restriction your putting in front of yourself really. But i do agree with what your saying.

European PSN cards have been dismissed a long time ago due to the fact that all european countries run different VAT laws, thus making working the levels of pricing on them different. They have admitted its a market they want to explore, but simply cant again!

Sony do seem a tad lazy when it comes to these things, but they could be charging you £50 a year to even use the network like some rivals! So its catch 22!

@hobgoblin – “Question though: is it possible for you guys to put the size of the download next to the title,(or next to the PEGI symbol) as opposed to clicking download, then our hard drive, then we find out how big the file actually is?”

I wish a sony advisor/mod would answer some of these questions (you can give me the job if you wish) but the answer is no, because they would have to re-draft the layout of the store, however it wouldnt be difficult for them to put it in the item description! For which i think its lazy that they dont!

My credit card is registered to a uk address but the address that is checked for the display of games is the account address and the counrty field of this address cannot be changed.

It depresses me to look at this topic and think of all the people who can buy ff7 today ^^

Thanks for your help Gambe.

If it makes you feel any better, i brought it yesterday ;o) lol!

Youll have to create a new profile then a master account for the playstation store then set it to the correct region, only way round it im afraid.

And no prob, all need a little help sometimes! Shame it aint sony doing it though
