Exciting time to be a PS3 owner right now. Can’t wait for the next few days to pass already.

Blog Recap: failed to get Gamescom on the Store, provided a rubbish Vidzone update, and then messed up the rather poor Store update as well.

Any idea on when you announce Ratchet & Clank special edition on the blog and do you know anything about an Uncharted 2 special edition? I was going to pre-order it for the beta but I am holding out for a special edition.

To #3: Gamescom is at the store. Definitely good to watch.
All in all, I think it has been interesitng week. New PS3, plenty nice games and some new innovations (3d controller)
One interesting thingy is the EyePet .. For some reason there is new stuff at http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/28/eyepet-in-stores-on-november -17/ but not here.. Ah well, as long as they eventually arrive into Eu area too.
At the same time.. Sony has serious issues of reaching all europe. Even though we (nordic) are finally (xmas 2009?) getting VidZone the unavailability of PlayTV is totally bogus.

It’s been a great week
But no updates on the pain patch?? I’m really looking forward to playing the Museum, but it still doesn’t work with my bluray version of pain

i gotta say that smash cars is by far the WORST PSN game to have ever been released! it is not worth AU$24!! at most it should be priced at maybe $5-$6. awful gameplay terrible grafix and no-one playing online!!?? i think i’ll stick to buying games on disc from now on. i’ve been burnt way too many times by sony and their shoddy partners in crime!
thanx for yet another pathetic store update sony.

It’s been a reasonable week for PS3. It’s an okay finale to what I like to call ‘bulk year’ (Jan-Aug). I have high hopes of PS3′s success in the Christmas period; to me, the last four months are the Christmas period, I’ve already seen Christmas decorations in shops

I bought the George Takei addon hoping it would fix my issues with PAIN. Alas no cigar. I bought the disc version on release. All worked fine until the museum pack came along. Since then I cannot play museum NOR CAN I GO ONLINE. I have payed for a service, under the Consumer Guarantees Act Sony is obligated to PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES PAID FOR, yet despite posting in the official forums where I’m told via rumour that Sony are aware & fixing it, nobody from Sony has bothered contacting me. YET MORE PAIN PACKS KEEP COMING. I smell SCAM. Come on Sony its been THREE WEEKS! WHERES OUR PRODUCT???????
