Hi. After several attempts to add funds to my wallet and numerous phone calls to SCEE. I still cannot add funds to my wallet after almost two weeks. Do you have any ideas why this is. My Prepaid mastercard works fine. SCEE have taken multiple temporary authorisations from my account, proving the card works, yet I still can’t add funds to my wallet. The last time I added funds to my account was Jan 2009. I really want to get this working so I can purchase some DLC. I’ve tried everything Sony told me – but nothing seems to work. I can’t bekieve their servers are still jammed with people downloading DLC map packs.

Please help me.

I understand your concerns certainly, but it is not for me to discuss specific reasons behind delays, or problems that arise when trying to publish content onto the PplayStation Store. We are working away on the French version of FFVII and it is forthcoming, I won’t give a specific date, because if another problem occurs that will of course just frustrate you even further.

We always intended to release all versions at the same time, and I also want to point out that I have communicated via this blog about this problem on a few occasions, so I have done my best to keep you all in the loop. Thanks

“FFVII has been released, there have been issues with the French version unfortunately, I won’t give specific reasons, but it will be fixed in due course and released as soon as possible, please be patient with us, and I apologise for the delay.”

Why can’t you give us explanations about the delay for FFVII in French??? It really is a lack of respect toward the french customers not to tell them why the entire world but them can get FFVII from the PSN.

If Sony would communicate a bit about this problem, it would help people understand and be more patient. On this point, Sony’s communication is very very bad, it remind me of Microsoft about the various issues with Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista.

Really disapointing, not only the absence of FFVII in the french store, but Sony’s communication first of all.

I can understand that you can have problems with releasing VidZone in all the EU countrys at the same time, but a statment on when the rest of us could expect the VidZone update would be nice.

But other than that, i just wanna say thanks for a great blog and the greatest gaming system ever made.

Yeh, VidZone is great but it is not in The Netherlands.
Freck you Sony!
But I’m very sorry for Hungary… no PlayStationStore, no PlayStationHOME. Man, you know you bought the wrong games machine.
Come on Sony, get you act together!

I just would like to said that it is VERY unfair to delay one more time the FFVII relase for french PSN.

If you are not able to release the French version in time you should at least release an english version on the french psn…

I am very disapointed. I will boycott the PSN and will not buy any PS3/PSP game until a relase of FFVII (french or english version) is released on french PSN.

As usual SCE don’t care about French users…

@168: It’s not like the English translation of FFVII isn’t full of nonsense as well.

@174 – to be fair, i for one am glad sony used a real monetry system, i can see “exactly” how much money i pay for something, and much prefer it.

@Doomshine, those PSN cards won’t come they will never come, why not? Because Sony was so silly enough not to use a point system like Nintendo / Microsoft is doing and now we’re screwed in Europe because not everyone want’s the Euro, that’s why.

Why the hell doesn’t Holland get Vidzone and Australia does? We’re still waiting for that stupid PlayTV and we didn’t get it either.

well, the uk is still useless. ive been trying to buy the 2nd cod pack since about 6pm yesterday…12 hours later and still no luck. people say keep re-trying and i have..all night. must have entered my details 50+ times by now. i cant see how the servers are still jammed at 5:30am. good job on Vidzone btw, i especially like how its almost impossible to enter a band name and the lack of anything i really like is amazing. i cant complain right? after all it is free…think ill stick to youtube tbh. sort your damn store out! i take a day off work to play cod with my friends and i cant download the damn thing. what a waste of time. thanks SCEE, ive been screwed again. when will i learn that u need to be american to acually have a working store.

No VidZone for Finland/Sweden/etc? Great Europian exclusive (only for selected countries?)

Thanks

I didn’t find the answer anywhere (maybe I didn’t search well enough) but why even if we are using the swiss French psn it is impossible to download English content ? I set my PS3 in English so everything is in English) I don’t understand why by example I cannot just download FFVII in english on the Swiss French PSN. Marketing reason or just compatibility issue ? I bought Infamous and 1 or 2 days later, suprise a patch and now the game is in english and the first time it was in french. So it seems it’s possible to use English content in the french part.

Well if there is an issue with the french version but the english version is ok why to bother ?? and the translation of FFVII in French was pretty funny with some non senses, words or sentences not translated at all. If I can choose between the English version and the french version, the choice is quickly done… English one…

Any chance when you put full games on the store, you at least give us some screen shots so we know what we are buying.

I don’t think I’ll ever buy something on impulse by text alone.

Thanks,

Dan

Vidzone is a very cool little thing, could be great, major issues with it though. Surely if you have tracks set to play one after another it should begin downloading the next track as soon as the one playing is done, the search system is very slow (and no keyboard support, why not?), the startup is just far far to long, and it really needs a shuffle option. One other thing i would like is the ability in settings to have a lower quality stream so the files are smaller, thins would be great for people like myself (and thousands of others) who aren’t on 5mb+ internet speeds. i would rate vidzone 6.5/10 so far BUT seeing as they have the full uncut Thriller video it gains bonus points of 15, so it gets 21.5/10 from me .
