Good week. HOME Stuff was Cool.
What about doing a Trophy collection for HOME?
Say every time you Vist a New HOME Space you would get 1 Trophy(once).
You would get a Trophy for buying something for the 1st time.
Spend a few hours in HOME you would get a Trophy, Trophy for doing up your room ;D 1st time etc etc.
That way you would get more people to Vist HOME more;)

It’s a shame Sony can’t get their act together and co-ordinate services across regions. Movie download service in the US, Vidzone in selected PAL countries, different spaces in the regional Homes. It’s like they don’t even belong to the same company sometimes.
Hope Sony get Trine out soon too. It’s already out on PC but it seems Sony are dragging their feet. The dev said, “As for the PSN release date, I think your guess is as good as mine.” That’s just poor. They need to strike while the iron is hot.

@4 It’s not down to Sony to release every game on the Store, it’s down to the games publisher. And in Trine’s case that is Nobilis, for the PSN version anyway, I think.

Just like to say, I downloaded Numblast since it was cheap and, I have to say, I really like it. Once you realise how to do combos and, more or less, what you’re doing, it just becomes really addictive.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s become addicted to Numblast. I love puzzle games anyway, but this one seems to be particularly compulsive playing

Trophies for the Home would be a good idea!

@adz2k7, pretty sure Sony has to approve it, the dev said it was going through that process. If Sony have approved it I can’t imagine any reason why Nobilis would hold it back.

Hey guys.
I don’t know why SCEE didn’t mention this but the Blast Factor trophy patch 2.01 went live on the 29th of June.

Sorry. My mistake you did mention it here.
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/06/29/playstationblog-europe-1 -month/#comment-8354
But a bit subtle don’t you think? You should do a recap on what we all want to here and an FAQ which you planned to do…

Another great week! but ive gotta ask, (because its brilliant) will there be any inFamous dlc? such as costumes or maybe give us the option to buy new playable characters such as as kessler, alden or sasha? Like spiderman 3 where you can buy and play as the new goblin.

Please reply! I wondered whether you could let Harmonix know about the problem with rock band unplugged dlc in Europe. the new tracks overwrite the old ones so I have to keep re-donloading them. and the ingame store is messed up. please let them know because I tried their official forums and they havnt replied to the thread!

Any chance you could just release the Last guy patch In the UK?
It’s out in the US,
Cheers.
