Hi Guys,
I’m Joey and I’m the SCEE Product Manager for PAIN.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I wanted to let you all know ahead of time that we are experiencing some difficulties with PAIN on Blu-ray.
This is a server related matter which we are aware of, and we’re developing a patch to fix this as soon as possible.
The problems you may be experiencing include:
- An inability to play online games.
- Software locks when playing online games.
- The inability to purchase or use additional content acquired via the PlayStation Store.
PSN online players may also experience game locks and hangs in online play. This will be addressed once the PAIN Blu-ray patch is applied to the game.
We’re currently planning to release a product patch within the next 10 working days, and we endeavour to keep the community updated with any changes to these plans.
But keep on flinging your chosen victim and bring on the PAIN!
Joey

SORRY BUT 10 DAYS HAVE COME AND GONE AND STILL NO WORD.
I/WE HAVE ASKED OVER & OVER AGAIN IF YOU COULD PLEASE TELL US IS THE FIX DONE, ITS LIKE WE’RE ASKING FOR GOLD,
ALL WE WANT IS TO PLAY YOUR GAME, HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING TO UPSET YOU,
IF IT’S DONE TELL US AND IF ITS NOT TELL US WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
OR IS THIS JUST A DEAD BLOG TO YOU NOW.
I LOVE THIS GAME BUT I’M NOT PAYING MORE MONEY TO GET IT FROM PSN AFTER PAYING £20 1ST.
I’VE HAD FRIENDS ASK IS PAIN GOOD, I’VE HAD TO SAY YES IF YOU CAN PLAY IT. BUT DON’T GET IT, SAVE YOUR MONEY AS IT WON’T WORK.

@Eur opean BD People: The BD Patch will be released this week. When it comes to patches we have to wait in a queue before we are tested and released. 1,000 pardons we are now in the hopper.
You can blame me. I don’t mind taking lumps for things. Occasionally I freakin deserve it. We do the best we can. Sometimes the process here at Sony takes way longer than the actual work to fix an issue. Oddly enough it’s done to protect the consumer. Often, it just ends up making you guys mad at us. Patch/Update process is something that is always getting changed at Sony. We are getting better.

I know what you can do lets add more stuff to psn and not tell blu ray owners it won’t work, but we’ll get paid more money from people trying to download it over and over again thinking their ps3 is playing up, oh then say it will be fixing in ten days but forget about them to make more new stuff to get more money out of people then say oh sorry the fix will be out this week. looks like more BS

A store update:
George Takei Character Pack (£1.19/€1.49)
let me gues it won’t work with the Blu-ray version,
but no warning that it will not work with the disc version.
And thats funny i clicked on the link at the right to Contact PlayStation.Europe by Email two weeks ago. And wrote my complain.
But still no answer, maybe they are to busy spending our money!

We can’t blame anybody but Sony, it’s really them taking their sweet time for the patch to be released. It’s pretty much like ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’ trophies & ‘Ghostbusters’ glitch patches. It’s available, but they make you wait…
