		<description>Just a quick question, is there no way SCEE can work together with publishers to quicken the process of releasing their products in the European sector? 

I understand that the American store has PS One classics that include Tomb Raider so would there be any method of quickening the process with Eidos (Or Square Enix whatever you fancy)?</description>

		<description>Please make it possible to download demos for more games. x360 live has demos for allmost all games produced for it and ps3 store is not close by any means? Rather strange if you ask me. 

And one another important feature a TRIAL download for all buyable games on store. Give the user a choice dont force them to buy and getting them to be unsure in the future if it is worth it or not. All arcade live games on x360 is trial download wich i allways use to test before buy.

Those are important features you cant ignore.

PS.
More PS3 themes for the ps3 would be great. ;-)</description>

		<description>Completely agree with virtually everyone here. We NEED a demo section. Also adding a few more categories would help too, e.g.:
-PS3 Games
-PS3 DLC
-PS3 Demos
etc. Everything shoved into one overflowing category is really not very user-friendly.</description>

		<description>I really don&#039;t believe this.

We, your customers are telling you that we want a demo category.
You are coming out with some contrived spin about why you won&#039;t.
You won&#039;t say it but you won&#039;t give us a demo category because you misguidedly believe that by making us sort through all the pay for rubbish on the store in order to find demos that we will impulse buy like hypnotised robots.
You are wrong.
Sony have so disappointed me this generation, that next generation we will have one console in our house and I&#039;m afraid it&#039;s going to be the Microsoft one.
Well done Sony and good job Angela on totally ignoring your customers and answering your own made up questions.
Utterly abysmal PR.</description>

		<description>dont care about a demo section as i dont mind browsing dont care for a video service either as i would continue to use youtube for this. cant believe so many people whinging about a brilliant FREE service that has never failed or crashed on me. the only thing that would make this service better is music as it makes my bravia tv buzz and im using a sony es amplifier with fibre optic connection to the ps3 but if the sound is low and im using the store my tv makes a buzzing noise plz play the music from the shopping centre in home when a user enters the store as it drives me nuts just thought id mention it 

p.s. keep up the good work!</description>

		<description>“Research to date has shown that the download figures for demos in the US Store and the European Store are very similar … For this reason we are not planning to change the placement of demos in the store”

I know that people have already commented on this, but I&#039;m saying it too just so you understand that the statement doesn&#039;t make any sense. The download figures are the same because people in both US and EU want demos, not because the demos are equaly easy to find.

You say you want the store to be easy to browse, and out of all the stores the US one is by far the most easily browsed. You say there are differences in the lay outs beacuse there is different content on the stores, but this too doesn&#039;t really make any sense. Even though the actual games might differ, it&#039;s still all the same kind of content. Therefore it would be very easy to have the same lay out across all stores. It&#039;s not like a single store offers ringtones and another one offers clothes. It&#039;s all just games, demos and dlc, and those are also the top categories that makes the most sense.

Don&#039;t get me wrong here, I think you&#039;re doing a great job over all! =)</description>

		<description>So once again SCEE is pushing the blame onto 3rd party developers.

Heres a novel concept for you; give them more support.

Then again, its strange how 3rd party developers manage to get simultaneous releases when its a disc-based product. Its only when something shows up on the Playstation Store when the problems start to appear. Funny that.

Ever since the original Playstation, SCEE has been the runt of the litter as far as the SCE group has been concerned. Releases are months, if not years behind the rest of the world. Its laughable. It encourages people to use grey imports (RIP Lik-Sang, God bless &#039;em) and turns people off the brand as a whole. Its funny, when I owned a 360 I was never concerned about waiting months for a title, whether it was digitally distributed or not.

Maybe you ought to start talking to the likes of Valve. Its not perfect, but its a vast improvement on the running joke that is the EU Playstation Store.

Sony have a long tradition in treating Europe as a second-class customer. This latest PR guff says to me that nothing has changed and that attitude is set to continue. Unless you&#039;ve got dollars or yen burning a hole in your back pocket Sony simply are not interested.</description>
