I thought it was quite a good week, Xi has reached it’s conclusion, the second K2 map packs were released (and they are fantastic!!) and VidZone launched.

Soooo, when do you plan to remove the somewhat annoying “*Report Abuse to a Moderator*” text below every post when you are logged in?

Pretty big recap for the week!
VidZone was probably the main topic of the week.

Questions:
- Is Demon Souls coming to Europe?
- When will i be able to access Vidzone(Belgium)?
- When will i be able to buy FF7 in French?
- Why make a European blog for European gamers if you guys don’t answer Europe-related questions?
Thank you

This is kind of off topic, but I’d have to say that the European blog looks much nicer than our blog does. Perhaps it’s because yours isn’t completely dark like the US one is.
Oh, and on a side note. I must say that having the little PSN availability indicator at the top of the page is nice, SCEA seems to have either hidden it in some far away place or removed it completely.

We may as well just read the US blog… This is practically a mirror of it.

Vidzone is a great new update but it would be better if you could download the music vids straight to ur HDD. Any chance of that guys?

I want to second all the positive vidzone comments – it’s a surprisingly good piece of software! Any chance the text entry for the search options could be changed so we can use the PS3′s internal keyboard? It’s just the current method is pretty slow!
And with the adverts – could there be a conformation screen after you click an advert so if you accidentally click on an advert you’ve got a chance to stop it closing the whole app to take you to the advertisement?
Other than that, Vidzone’s great, the PSP Go’s great, and this week’s been great! Big Surf Island FTW!

More like we ignore your PSP Go questions because we are both unwilling and unable to actually answer any questions that wern’t already answered in the press release or during the press confrence or interviews done at E3.
lol Am I rite?

Another great week, especially the psp q&a.
Which, in regard to digital distribution.. will the manuals be available to view on the psp, via app or pdf..?
I was reading a preview of Class of Heroes, which I’m looking at getting when it gits psn, but the review mentioned that some things would be difficult to understand if you haven’t read the manual.
How are manuals gonna be available in this next step of digital distribution?
Look forward to another interesting week, ty guys
