PlayStation Store Update

Very nice update. I’ll think about a purchase of Topatoi.

Concerning the PSP titles: Do you know or could you find out if there are any plans for releasing “Prinny, Can I really be the hero?” as a download soon? I don’t want to buy it on UMD. I’ve contacted the publisher myself, but didn’t get any answer. Maybe a Sony official would be more successful.

yo mike dont make me bring that link back again you dont like it when im angry, now back to business this update is NOT weak however its not great but “H“ better then last week‘s i got no mercy without a 2nd thought, i going to get that numblast & topi game & that robocod soonish, i just hope & pray to god WE GET mgs1 & fallout-3 dlc & those capcoms games.

@CMP-X isn’t like 18+ games forbidden now in Germany?

@Skookie30, try to tease me

Hi Mike

I left this question last week but never got a reply so gonna try again this week
Can you please tell me why Rayman was released on Euro store but never made the Irish store

Thanks

Gerard

Simultaneous releases are more often than not achieved by delaying ready regions until all regions are ready. Publishers, rating boards, Sony and any other processes games need to go through before release take different amounts of time in different regions.

If the release period of a game can be kept quiet until all regions are ready, nobody has any reason to complain because they don’t know they had longer to wait. Ignorance is bliss!

Who to complain to about the lack of Euro Metal Gear Solid? Unless you know which process is holding things up (Konami? PEGI/USK etc? SCEE?) it’s only polite to ask what the hold-up actually is.

Nice update, just too bad that I got my copy of MH:FU on UMD last week. Would have loved to get on my memory stick, but my patience was a little bit low on this.

Hope that I might be able to get the digital version later on when the PSPGo is about to be released (or maybe a little bit earlier *hint hint*).

By the way, will you guys be in Cologne in August? I just got the info today that I will be doing the network security concept for the event and would love to come around to say “Hi” if I get the chance.

@Onna76_NL: Well no, there are not forbidden in general. But a lot of these games (16 + and 18+) are not coming to the PSN Store. For whatever reasons, considering you can only pay with a creditcard.

@Mike: Any chance we will get the game here?

good update mike.

i was wondering if you could dig up any info on an eu release of blazblue?
oh and once again know anything about the disgaea 3 DLC/trophy patch? i cant get an answer from NIS or square enix.

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR NUMBALST!
Im having a “blast” with it!

pun intended!

Interesting!! ZEN studios said yesterday (on IGN) that they will release a demo! now where’s the demo, and don’t tell me that’s only for US.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1000444p1.html

Any news on incoming info about the PSN cards so I can buy these downloadable games? You keep saying that you will have info soon but does that mean in a week, a month or even longer

Wheres the prototype demo?

I don’t know why people just don’t make a Euro + USA + Japan + China accounts? If there are no demos on Euro PSN 1 week, there might be some on the other ones, ect ect
And you can get PSN cards off ebay. I got a Japan PSN Card and i’m buying things off the Japanese store ;P

@112
Because it’s against the T & C’s.

Thanks for nice update! Should be something for everyone in this update.

Nice update this week
GREAT to see Thrice on Rock Band, especially

@ remanutd5

I really wish I could tell you,but I’ve decided in the last month or so,that no demo = no sale from me.

But then again, Monster Hunter at £25£ and €40(!!!)… I think I’ll wait for the “good-will UMD program” from sony and import this one from UMD from elsewhere.

Saddens me to see it’s just £18 at amazon. I’d like to support the move to digital distribution, but there are limits =/

Still… Thrice. Now I’ve actually got to buy Rock Band. =X

Would we ever get the DLC for Dark Mist?
I just beat the game…it took me almost 3 hours…my wife was yelling at me that I should be in bed LOL…

Beautiful game, definitely one of the best PSN titles out there, a little sad that probably not many have played it.

I understand the Retro-feeling that Game Republic gave to the game but if they patch it to allow saves at Labyrinth level the game would benefit from it.

Also a Demo would help…Trophies would seal the deal but not sure if Game Republic has time for that right now

Sooo, any plans for the Japanese DLC to Europe or even a NA release?some buddies in the US ask me about the game when they see me playing it.

PLEASE PLEASE answer, can’t find much info about the game on the web and if the SCEE Blog doesn’t answer then I don’t know who can … I have been waiting for our own Blog to ask about this

Thank you for your hardwork!

at vonhammer fair enough , i think i’ll get it today if its available in the US store , Motorstorm DLC is bought ALREADY LOL , LBP is free so i’ll get it but i really wanna get topatoi i like platformer games

One of the burning issues with the store is that over time, games depreciate in value. This is evident in shops and online, all over the place.

The only place where the price doesn’t gradually lower over time is the PSN. I can see it being the case that in five years time things that were released for £25 will still cost that much (and possibly more due to inflation as they seem willing to raise prices as much as they like) since they aren’t willing to reduce prices to reflect what the product is actually worth.

@ 112….was just about to say that!!! i dont get it either!
@113….stop being a lil girl…just do it, instead of waiting weeks for what u want and would stop alota moaning from alota people

Yes, James Pond. But where is it? Or this is a very stupid blog or SONY thinks only uk is EU.

I like this update. DW6Empires content looks nice. Thanks!

@121
Because I don’t want to get banned it means I’m a little girl. We’ll get the DLC eventually we just have to be patient

embrace teh suck

I still do not understand why digital downloaded games cost more than the same title does you can physically hold…..

http://www.play.com/Games/PSP/4-/9623017/Monster-Hunter-F reedom-Unite/Product.html

£7 cheaper on PLAY, Amazon, gameplay…..

@127 maybe because the fact that it’s downloadable, means you can play the same copy however many times you like, or however many psp’s you want?

People are so ungrateful, Mike passed on that we were disapointed with the contaent for that past 2 weeks, and now it seems we have had a MEGA update and people are still crying ¬.¬”

Again, thanks SCEE!

Hmmm, nothing of interest to me again. Nice try though

I was expecting to see MGS too. What’s with the delay?!

PSN has delivered some great games – Wipeout HD, Flower, GTI Club +, Pixel Junk Eden, The Last Guy and Final Fantasy VII (with only a minor delay). But the releases are sporadic and/or overpriced, Monster Hunter Freedom: Unite is £17.99 (inc. delivery)at all major online retailers!!!

The US and Japan have had MGS for weeks/months already. Come on Mike, PSN is a global community so please let us know when we should expect releases like MGS, or how long we should expect to wait. I thought PSN was starting to gather momentum following E3 and FF7, but PAL owners are still being kept waiting. It is even worse when you consider that Microsoft times releases globally – at least you seem to be performing better than Nintendo though.

I hate complaining, but this is a very serious issue for many PAL gamers!

Playstation 3 should be about us diving in and having a great experience, not waiting to do so whilst we see NTSC guys playing the games we’re hungry for – it’s not 1995 anymore!

If SCEE had a video programme like PULSE, maybe people would be better informed about games like Topatoi.

When is the movie store coming to Norway?

@133
The movie store isn’t available anywhere in Europe

We get a great update and still people complain. I can understand that there are certain things you really want, but come on..

I have a slightly offtopic question; Do you happen to know if the Dutch Store will ever get Crash Bandicoot 2 again? It was removed a long time ago for some reason and we never got it back, and I really want to play the complete original trilogy

Good update. I got topatoi and monster hunter.

Now to find someone to hunt with.

“When is the movie store coming to Norway?”

Stuff like this takes time. And I expect it to come to UK, france, spain, and germany first. :/

Pretty nice update, really ridicolous dlc for tiger woods though.

Ok right decent update even though I dont like anything on it but atleast you managed to put a couple of games on so that will please people. Also any news on MGS1? Reply would be nice

Good update, Nothing I’m interested in buying(Should of released demo’s),
But still, Lots of content tho.

We need a “Demo’s” section for our store,Would be helpful.
and a Video Store section

@Mike: Which PSP’s firmware does this version (DD, complete game) of MH:FU need?

@135

Crash 2 was removed from all stores in the EU and was never put back up for whatever reason. I do know there were some issues when playing the game on the PSP but that was about it, surely they should have been sorted out by now. It’s a pain having 1, 3 and CTR and not having perhaps my favourite game in the series, Crash 2!

JAMES POND: ROBOCOD!!!! WOW! lol you have made me a happy man today Sony. thats a quality update. shame its the PSone version and not a one redone for PS3 with trophies (thats my trophy whore moment)

Still no word on metal gear? or the capcom stuff are american counterparts are getting?

this update is crammed with lots of little treats i must say. the statue of liberty costume is all well and good but how about something a little more british. i dunno maybe like the Royal Guards, or a Classic Britsih police outfit complete with baton.

Fantastic update! How anyone can complain about this week I don’t know.

The Speed expansion for Motorstorm: Pacific Rift though stole the show, great price for some fantastic content, Evolution Studios really nailed it with this dlc! If it wasn’t for that I’d be buying some off the new games, as it stands though they shall have to wait a few days

Oh and we still have more Motorstorm dlc to come, along with WipEout HD Fury! Way more excited for those bits of dlc than any off the games coming out soon.

Yet another awful week of updates huh? Were is my Skate 2 dlc? (without trophies btw) Were is the Fallout 3 dlc that was due mid june? Why are there no god damn demos of these new PSN games?!

Seriously, I’ve felt really short changed from PSN these last few weeks.

Thanks for the great update this week, im very happy with the Motorstorm DLC (and thank you for the Blastfactor patch)

WHY DOESNT ANYONE REPLY TO ME!

WHY CANT YOU PUT THE GAME SIZES THERE?

PLEASE!

Great update but still no news on the video store.

Wohoo, new equipment for Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires! Very good, though I have yet to see them. I also wonder why they didn’t make it in the release… Guess it’s KOEI trying to look better by releasing free DLC, too, in addition to paid DLC we’re likely to get later. Still, good.

Also, a free costume for LBP. Not my favorite… But this goes just fine. I liked last week’s costumer better, though. Still, I can’t complaing, this is pretty much good.

Anyway, one big complaint: Where’s MGS? I know it wasn’t promised… But they made it sound like everyone would be getting it – they didn’t specify who’d be getting it. Personally I didn’t expect it but I’ve been hoping for it since the initial announcement. I want to play MGS on my PSP, despite the fact that I already own the original PS1 version.

REPLY TO THIS QUESTION.

Will UK/Europe ever get the video Store? A simple YES(<– Release date?) or NO (<– If no,Explain why!!)

We really want this Video store SCEE,

Not good not bad update
