PlayStation Store Update – 9th July 2009

@Mike

The Punisher is the worst game I’ve ever played, including free games here!

Do you not have any quality control on PSN games you release, especially as it is only on PSN.

I will never put another penny on my account as of last week! Sony is so backward in its running!

1. BF1943 should cost £9.05 at the current exchange rate!

2. Downloadable content is tax free! So theres no reason for boosted fees!

3. Why do other regions get more content and earlier releases!

4. Why do Sony charge me £145 to fix aproblem they created! I got YLOD even though I followed the instruction manual to the word! I mean, £425 is a rip off for electrical goods that only last two years! Which means Sony is breaking the Sales of goods act!

This is the last Sony product I will ever own!

Battlefield: 1943 will keep me busy for a while, good price as well.. €12.99

Took your time updating the Store as well, normally it’s updated a lot earlier…

Will Rock Band Unplugged ever make it as a download?

They should just have made an A Day to Remember track pack, or album

Why the MotorStorm: Pacific Rift – Expansion Adrenaline has not been released for Russian Store?

Hail, Sir Kebby of SCEE.

I have a feature request.

I have a habit of forgetting to check for new messages when I come back to my PS3 after being away for a short time – so I sometimes don’t notice new messages for hours. So:

I request some sort of constant reminder for unread messages – like a simple small envelope in the top corner. I would think most users would appreciate it but there are always haters so maybe an option to turn it off and on would be good too so it doesn’t annoy anyone.

I don’t know how hard it would be to implement such a feature but I thought I’d put the idea out there anyway. I would be most appreciative if my request was relayed to the team that deals with such things for their consideration. Apologies if such a request has been made previously.

Thanks.

When is Puzzle Quest: Galactrix come to the Dutch PSS?

I sure hope the USA update is this plentiful!

very lame compared to last week 2 demos for games thats all ready out seems pointless 2 me should had the demo b4 the game came out imo. then again cant please everyone thnx anyway

Great update!!! Finally some demos and Battlefield!!

But…I’am big fan of MGS so it’s my duty to write it:
Konami if You read this.. give us a damn MGS!!!

Any news on the Savage Moon DLC? ive had money on my account for 3 weeks expecting that and fallout an mgs1 =(

Oh, wow, what a great update.

..

Are you being serious, Sony? Is this a joke? Cause its not funny.

Oh look, Battlefield. Yay. Oh look, more music DLC. Yay. Oh look, Demos. Yay.

Fallout 3 DLC? MGS? Do you think SONY EUROPE COULD ACTUALLY STICK THEIR DAMN FINGERS OUT FOR ONCE AND GIVE US SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT, RATHER THAN THE WORST UPDATE WE’VE HAD IN WEEKS, CONSISTING OF THE BARE MINIMUM OF DLC AND DEMOS?!?!

Sweet Jesus, SCEE, gimme a good reason I should keep buying you if this is the best you can come up with.

Pathetic update.

Now that we have something to spend money on we only need a way to actually pay for it. PSN cards would be good, don’t you think.

Demos are nice, so is BF 1943. But I WANT MGS. :’(

I’m looking at the Store and it hasn’t been updated yet.

To say that this update is the worst update in a while is harsh, two weeks ago’s update was terrible.

@ 112 maybe becuase this is the european update and not the american one

the Ghostbusters game = EPIC FAIL way way to many problems with it.
i’d say er on the side of caution people and RENT first.

Also, any word on the Disgaea 3 trophy patch, i’m not playing it anymore until we over in the EU zone get it. Word is SCEA are dumping it out next week, when do we get the goods?

Hey good update!

I do have a question though, on the Store, when reading the details for a theme it give you instructions on how to use the theme. But the instructions are totally wrong!

It tells you to install it via the Game catagory then press triangle on it to apply it to the XMB.

When themes install themselves and you choose them via the Theme sub catagory under settings. Has anyone noticed this at SCEE? I think it’s poor the instructions are wrong about your own system.

@ Samii

Yeah i hear you. I got the Yellow Light of Death too and i too got charged (200€) by Sony to repair it, and it was LESS THAN TWO YEARS after i bought it. Not exactly what i thought when i spent 600€ on a console.

And then, they sent me a faulty ps3 as the “repaired” one, so i had to send it back. So in the end i was for 2 months without a ps3 and also now i can’t download the SingStore songs i had bought, because they are linked to the serial number of my original ps3. Nice, huh?

Yes finally Resident evil and MGS come to europe, which one to play first ? both true classics, the wait is finally paying off, thank yo… oh wait still not there

Hey Mike! Hope you read this!

Good update! Nothing I want though…
Have you got any word on any of the other Final Fantasy’s coming out on Europe PSN store? I know Japanese Store got FF-1 and FF-2 but any chance of us getting them sometime? Or, hopfully FF-8! PLEASE!

Thank you,

Lovely update sadly my stupid interney seems to not let me on the PSN during 5:15 to 11:15 :S dont ask. So sadly I will have to wait for the demos etc, but im so glad there is a 1943 demo, as i am sadly unable to buy it for another 3 weeks!!! so unless some one can slip me a code The trial will have to do.

Wicked update guys. Now all we need is Fat princess and I am so sorted.

Btw can you conferm if there will be sont first party games atleast on PSN before the PSP go as a first day buy I would love some of the wicked games like GT PSP GOW and others.

Again lovely update

Yet again only half of the PSP content gets released on the Belgian PlayStation Store. When are we getting all the rest that was missing in Belgium on previous updates?

Hey Mike, i just read your response for Crash 2 on the store.

Legal issues? Thats bad, but don’t Sony own Naughty Dog? And why Crash 2 if Crash 1 and 3 and Crash CTR are on?

fingers crossed anyway

Snake? SNAKE? SNAKE!

Great mate!

Samii

-_- Check out my care face

I would have bought Battlefield 1943 if I had a Credit Card. But I don’t have one. And there are no other pay options so, can’t buy it. :’(

Enormhi I think there are PSN cards, that or they are coming very soon,

IMPORTANT

There is no BF 1943 Trial on the German store, so it’s impossible to play the game even if you buy it.

Could somebody look into that please?

@ReNeGADe1991
We’ve been waiting for PSN cards in Europe for months but still havn’t got any planned release date from SCEE. I think someone from Sony recently said that we may get a different payment option similar to the cards. Any news about this Mike?

Mike……… fine update well done.
O n another note anyone smell an Xbot troll (lookin at you Sami)

Well done SCEE this week keep it up lads…and lassies. 9/10

@131 i smell him hes in my crosshairs right now.
on a pleasent note please can we have info on disgaea 3 trophies and dlc im gonna keep asking until i have an answer.

Brilliant update this week, good job guys! Probably one of the best updates we’ve had really!

@ Mike – whats the word on the low server count for Battlefield 1943? There were known issues with the xbox version so EA announced they had corrected the problem for the ps3 version by immediately adding servers, yet im still waiting 30 minutes for a game?

ohhhh i wished Fat princess would be in this update but ill try out BATTLEFIELD 1943 because of all the vichelces plus because i have BAD COMPANY and its FREKIN AWSOME!

Hey Mike, thanks for the update as usual

I know i’m becoming a stress but… the US people just got this week the confirmation that on July 16th Disgaea 3 will get the Trophy patch in their region. Do you have any answer from NIS/Square about us “stepchilds of the PAL region” about the patches and DLCs for this beautiful game for us aswell in the near future?

Thanks a lot, i keep asking cause i have faith that after all Sony thinks that all the customers have the same rights regardless the region of their blue-ray disks .

Actually i think that Sony should enforce the release of the same DLCs and Patches (provided they obey to country laws of course) all over the world if a game it’s distributed all over the world in the first place.

And happy week-end

Well, I was angry last week and I said it. This week, I’m quite satisfied, so I have to say it too.
This week, it’s what I call a good update. Why ? First, two very great songs for this fantastic game that is Rock Band Unplugged. And we have demos for ps3/psn games, and this is what I’m waiting for. Unfortunately, psp games of the week don’t have a demo, so I won’t buy any of them.
But good job !

Since Resident Evil 1 and MGS1 were released on the US store I have been eagerly awaiting their arrival on the UK store, but still no sign. There is even a review for MGS in the Playstation magazine!!

PS3 wise, great update. I was hoping for a GB demo to try it out before buying it. Also Battlefield looks pretty cool. Also an awesome Skate 2 add on.

Hopefully we’ll get some better PS1 classics soon or ill have nothing to play on my PSP Go.

@Gambe1984- Is anyone else having problems logging on to the EA servers for Battlefield 1943?

Thanx for asking about Metal Gear Solid, Mike. Also don’t forget about Resident Evil! Those have been announced for the US but not EU.

I just want more content on the PSP store since my PS3 died, waiting for the slim, I’m not paying £145 for a refurb especially as I was one of the fans that bought it at launch.

I assume we’re going to have to wait for the PSPgo until we get some decent updates, but I don’t understand why more publishers aren’t putting up UMD Legacy and PS1 games up now rather than waiting for PSPGo launch. Hopefully after the PSPGo comes out the PSP updates will improve dramatically or that system will be a disaster.

@112 (and everyone else who’s complaining)
What is your problem? This update is alright, it’s not superb but you can’t expect every week to have amazing content. And it’s not SCEE’s fault that content such as the Fallout 3 DLC isn’t available, that’s Bethesda’s! So stop berating them every week!! The fact that content gets released on the US store a lot earlier is also not their fault, but that annoys me too, though there isn’t much you can do about it unfortunately
And what the hell are you talking about when you say
“Sweet Jesus, SCEE, gimme a good reason I should keep buying you if this is the best you can come up with.”
are you buying SCEE :S?? The PSN is free, and I for one am thankful for that. And for a free service I think they do pretty well.
Phew, I look forward to playing Battlefield and seeing what’s in store next week (and all the abusive comments you get ’cause it’s not good enough lol)
*sigh*

@142 – EA admitted it was a huge problem yesterday! So its a valid question! Read your facts before putting down a sarcastic comment!

@145 – I wasn’t being sarcastic, I was just wondering if any1 else had the same problem, soz if you thought I was being sarcastic!

@mike – has there been any more news about Fat Princess?

Hopefully we’ll get some answers about PSN cards soon…

Great update. Any news on Katamari Tribute/Forever?

And please try to bring us some news about a European release of Tales of Vesperia.

I also hope to get anwser about the PSN cards.
and why does belgium have half of the psp content?
