PlayStation Store Update – 23rd July 2009

Is Theme Park World comeing to PSN and when are we going to now the UK price of the PSP Go?

Finally Crystal Defenders I been waiting like Forever! . Anyways we gonna see fat princess soon or still no word?

If you are trying to manage the expectations for what’s coming, I would suggest keeping the database up-to-date in the Release Calendar section, or for each game. I’d imagine it’s easier to do from the backend and dynamically update everywhere, as opposed to making a post about it and manually changing things.

Like, PS.com already have the infrastructure in place to provide a lot of info about games, so why not use that as opposed to a blog post? Is it just because they won’t give you access or you prefer it this way?

Doesn’t matter – either way we’ll be listening in over at PSLS.

mike im really starting to like you m8 , you seem to be on our side after all we ask 4 info , & it seems you really do make an effort for us , so cheers it feels good having friends in high(ish) places !! keep it up & keep tormenting konami ok??

Good point Mike, I definately agree with you that giving us a clue to what’s coming is better than just suprising everyone! =D

Can anyone confirm if Crystal Defenders has trophies?

MIKE CAN YOU PLEASE PHONE KONAMI AND CAPCOM AGAIN AND ASK THEM WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET RE1 RE2 MGS PS1 CLASSICS PSN INFO also is suikoden,wild arms,castlevania sotn coming to the uk thanks mike

Hi Mike,

I would really like to run a few things by you. Do you have a contact email address? You can PM me on PSN if you like? It’s regarding a more work related situation

NO PS1 CLASSICS ON THE STORE ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGH ANOTHER WEEK OF HOPING DASHED OVER 2 YEARS SINCE LAUNCH IM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF WAITING FOR SUIKODEN CASTLEVANIA SOTN, WILD ARMS MGS1 THESE GAMES WOULD PUT ME IN PSP HEAVEN IM HOPING SCEE SORT THEMSELVES OUT WHEN PSP GO LAUCHES BUT I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO FOCUS MOST OF THEIR TIME ON PUTTING CURRENT UMD PSP TITLES WHICH WILL HURT US PS1 WAITERS BIG TIME

IVE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY LOYAL SONY USER YOU NAME IT I OWN IT WITH THE WORD SONY ON IT BUT SCEE ARE TRYING MY PATIENCE TO THE MAX ALL I WANT IS THE PS1PSN TITLES THE USA HAS ITS SO UNFAIR AND WE PAY MORE FOR OUR CONSOLES THAN THEY DO WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON SCEE YOU SHOULD HIRE SOME OF SCEA STAFF AND FIX THIS UNFAIR DIFFERENCE IN CONTENT

Decent Update, but any News on NEW AVATARS please we have the same old avatars

Mike can you please tell me when you are going to announced the UK price of PSP go?

USA STORE HAS
WILD ARMS SUIKODEN CASTLEVANIA SOTN RESI DIRECTORS CUT MGS 1 CRASH 2
UK STORE HAS
JAMES POND TARZAN NO CRASH 2
EXPLAIN AND JUSTIFY THAT MIKE
EXACTLY YOU CANT ITS DIRE AND YOU KNOW SCEE SHOULD BE ASHAMED

Cool thanks for all the responses. Looking forward to the QA Q&A, to learn more about the submission process, timelines, explanations, etc.

SO WHAT DO WE SONY CONSUMERS HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS CONTENT WE WANT AND WILL PAY FOR SUBMITTED TO THE UK PSN STORE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Wow another boring update.. Thanks SCEE!! I really wish you guys would be more transparent with your customers. You constantly make excuses why we dont get games, you always blame other companies for these faults. Nowhere since I started reading the Blog here when it began, have I actually seen you pass any blame on to SCEE for the poor experience European and Oceania customers recieve on PSN.

You give us pathetic PSN update after pathetic update compared to the other PSN regions and continue to offer false hope that things will improve yet nothing changes. When is Fat Princess coming, when is Trine coming? If you can give release dates for games coming to a brick and mortor store why is it so difficult to do it for your own PSN network?

Why is it Sony USA can offer so many great titles to its customers, with awesome sales, freebies, Video stores, PS Network cards and all the other business while we are given the same old excuse of “its coming”?

How about your actually you guys actually change things for the better for your customers instead of just talking about it?

Re: “There will be more and more PSOne games added to the store, but we can’t dictate which games 3rd party publishers submit to us, so we have to wait and see what the publishers want to give us.”

Do you know if there are any first party PSOne titles in the pipeline, then?

yo mike

nice update. better than last weeks

not sure if i will buy anything however since i don,t have a clue what shatters about
happy to hear about u putting up a post the day before good idea i think. just because you are doing it even if changes happen i will not blame you or SCEE one bit lol

hay make do you no anything about disgaea 3 trophies. all i want to no is if their is a chance they will be coming to
the eu. if their not am fine with that

SCEE SHOULD BE HOUNDING AND HARASSING CAPCOM, KONAMI, FOR ITS PS1 BACK CATALOGUE TO BE PUT ON THE STORE AND SORT THIS MESS OUT HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THESE PS1 GAMES ANOTHER YEAR LOOKING EVERY WEEK WITH EXCITEMENT ONLY TOI BE LEFT WITH A BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH EVERY WEEK ITS GETTING BEYOND A JOKE IVVE CONTACTED CAPCOM AND KONAMI MYSELF WITH NO REPONSE

JUSTICE FOR THE EUROPEAN PSN USERS

MIKE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS BUT CANT YOU TELL SOMEONE HIGH UP AT SCEE LIKE THE CEO FOR EXAMPLE HOW UNHAPPY WE ALL ARE ABOUT NOT GETTING THESE GAMES WASNT THIS WHY THE PSSTORE WAS MADE OR NOT TO PUT PS1 AND IN FUTURE PS2 GAMES FOR SALE ON IT OR NOT? THANKS MIKE

Its not about offering “justice” its about offering a enjoyable experience that is on a par with other regions of the world. It really is not too much to expect that SCEE would fight for its customers to offer us the best experience possible. Right now it just feels like all we get are hollow words and the same excuses and blame throwing week in week out.

JUSTICE FOR THE EU PSN USERS

ITS SCEE JOB TO GET THE PS1 CLASSICS GAMES CONTENT ON TO THEIR STORE AFTER ALL WE USERS CANT DO IT

“Just to confirm regarding the offer of Rag Doll Kung Fu for free in the US store, it was a joint promotion with Sprint (a US mobile provider) and Nascar, so it was not pertinent for the SCEE stores”
Mike Kebby

will something like this happen for us?
ive asked this befor and had no reply but will the gran tourismo becoming to the store if you are able to tell me.
Keep up the good work

SCEE STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR CUSTOMER BASE YOU WANT OUR MONEY DONT YOU OR NOT?

Woah CAPS LOCK :O

I know it’s always asked about but it’s never effected me till now, PSN Cards on the horizon, Mike?

*** EUROPEAN MISTRUST MOVEMENT ***
We’ll start discuss on everything when we’ll be able to seat at the same table of JP/US customers, as normal customers and not low-level one.

We, European users, pay more than US users and JP users.
We, European users, have less than US users and JP users.

Why?

I, pasting this message in this blog, asks Sony to give us three things:
a. more contents – why we have to wait more when the game it’s not going to be localized? You just have to upload!
b. more respect – you know, paying more and have less isn’t fine, according to me. Don’t tell us to contact Konami because we bought Sony’s console, not Konami’s one!
c. more power to Mike Kebby – he must have every news, not that he has to ask everywhere to give us an info. He’s doing an extra-work to compensate Sony’s defects.

### Copy / Paste this message at every EU Store Update that, according to you – and only you -, is unsatisfactory.

We don’t want to obstruct constructive dialog but we’ll start to discuss when we’ll be able to seat at the same table of JP/US customers.

Do you want to let us hear from Sony? Copy/Paste it.

@callofduty1
angry caps lock nerd alert. dood just chill and use ebay or something to get a US psn card thats whst we have to do.
P.S shouting in a comment does not make it louder just harder to read

I WANT TO USE THE PS1 GAMES ON UK PSP NOT MY SONY BRAVIA 40 INCH LCDTV AS THEY ALL LOK A MESS ON IT HEDGES

downloading shatter and crystal defenders now , might get fury update as well
==
“Video Store – there will be more information to come at some point in the future.”

some point in future that has been said for over a year now how hard is it to say if it is coming this year ??

why is scee forcing me to have two psps a usa/ntsc one and a uk one then i can have suikoden on my psp which is a joke

@ Callofduty1 please go somewhere else with your ranting caps locked spam comments. Mike you’re a bigger man than me, I wouldn’t have given this guy the courtesy of a response since he hasn’t even got the courtesy to post his frustrations once in lower case, in fact I would have probably have just deleted his posts altogether!

P.S. I would also like to echo deadrest’s comments about your dedication to this blog and it’s users – if there’s such a thing as ‘Employee of the Month’ at SCEE towers, then I nominate you!

Callofduty1 please calm down

Yes in deed Sir keddy a very good update i downloaded 3 titles, my coppers (money) are now Sony. just 2 little question for you mike number 1: you say psn cards infor comming soon is it on august 18th the day on game-con, & number 2: im not please with square-enix but the question is this & please answer is crystal defenders getting a follow up to it, if you go on the wii shopping channel you will see 2 crystal defenders same goes for the xbox, there are called crystal defenders-R1 & crystal defenders-R2 on the ps3 version it just says crystal defenders, so is this a other 2 fingers at sony from square-enix, & after us put ther ff-7 on the top psn download list sure they put ff-8 on i hope no1 buys it frankly SE does not care to sony or to us its buying customers, SE IS A joke.

Funny thing I just thought of:
Europeans pay more than Americans for both the console and the games, we get delays on some content and some content we do not get at all.

Still, the PS3 has sold more in Europe than in any other region.

The funny part is when you look at the Xbox 360. Strangely they do not have these “European” problems Sony are having, and MS is instead actually treating their customers really well. Yet the 360 is not at all as popular over here, being outsold by the PS3.

I guess Europeans must just like being treated badly.

No Trine next week? *sigh*

How abot MGS??

@ Callofduty1 please go away, your making yourself look daft. Mike, nice update, we appreciate the feedback. I’ve just rinsed another £20 on the store, pay day tomorrow though

Good luck with the Wednesday update next week.

mike have you heard anything about 80gb models becoming ps2 compatible in a update and do you know what is at the top of locked glass doors esclators in home square in home?

Awesome. I’m getting Crystal Defenders. I was waiting for this for a long time.

I’m not sure if anyone else has already asked, but any information in regards to Critter Crunch?

I know it’s not yet out in any other region, but was curious about a release date, if at all possible.

Thanks!

look out for callofduty1 on modern warfare2 on launch day im looking foward to using my ak 47 on V00D00char1e and aponmis

ive got every right to express my unhappiness with the current eu psn content ive said my piece i wont comment on anything to do with it again i am now going to keep patiently waiting, cant wait till wednesday wish kings of leon tracks were on rock band unplugged ((((((((((

@ Mike.

HELLO! its me again mike your friendly bassist.

i would just like to say….

AWESOME UPDATE! (shouted in a mortal kombat voice)

i gotta say mike, your experiment next week is defo shows that you have a balls my friend. i mean ive seen some of the flames u get. HELL ive gave you some good ones myself i feel . but posting the list a day early its a dream come true. i work in a game shop so its kool to be able to talk to the customers about whats coming out on the PSN before its there. just a shame we dont have euro PSN cards yet so i could make some sales aswell

good luck mike. if you send me your mail address ill post some riot gear to u.

Very good update! Shame there was no demo for shatter, Maybe next week.

Tell Studio liverpool the fury DLC was AMAZING!
What a bargain for £7.99! A FULL games worth of fun content.
More DLC like that please

I can’t believe people are moaning about this weeks update. Nice work guys. Don’t forget to check out our review of Wipeout HD Fury. It’s linked on the Playstation Conversation section of this site!

Great update this week Mike!

I’m impressed with the price of Shatter, been interested in that game since first seeing it and at such a low price too.

Loving the fact there is new Wipeout content too, will be picking up it and Shatter very shortly!
