‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (10th September 2009)

Great to have you back Mike – see how going away a week makes people appreciate you all the more??

Good update I’ve been waiting on Fifa demo to see if it is enough of an improvement over 09 to buy – although from the reviews I’ve read IT IS!!

I was also fooled by the introduction of ‘Premium Themes’ last week when we all thought we were getting Dynamic Themes so saw it was paid for theme and bought it.

Any indication when we are getting avatars? They should have been there the day fw 3.00 was released.

@37 – Mike, you have to delete free space in that link. It’s how XMB should look like.

great update, have been thinking abot fat princess for a while, thanks mike, but no doubt Lord HazelAM will find issues with it

Ahh theme prices are not too bad

good to have you back mike any news for me on the dlc for command and conquer? cheers ta

Mark, remove the space (“messag e”) from that url after pasting it.

Oh, the link that Ross_K91 wants to share with you, Mike Kebby, was this:

Nice thread

Hi Mike, hope you had a good holiday. I think the question has been asked already, but can you give us any news or info on the Avatars that were mentioned at Gamescom?

Awesome update! XD

Way to go sony

That’s a really nice update man! Can’t wait to see the Wipeout HD theme (though I never thought I would be more excited for a theme than for a demo, I must admit it’s the case today).

The zebras are great but I was getting bored of them (even though I managed to make my girlfriend and some friends think they were actually reacting to the voice via the PSEye, which was kind of funny – well, they don’t talk to me anymore now but the laugh was worth it)

Great update guys, any word on new avatars?

Within the next month? Within the next 6 months?

Hi Mike!!
How about the avatars? Any info on that?

Greetz!

Hello Whens MP4 coming out for COD WAW? if there is one

wipeout dynamic theme for free, uncle sony you are a bad buissnes man

Any news about upcomming disgaea patches? – Since i just got the game i don´t want to start playing because i know that the 2.30 Patch will render old savegames unplayabell.

Great update Mike!
If you could get any news for the missing DLC on the portuguese store would be great.

@Mike Kebby

I havent seen the Batman DLC named or the release dates announced yet officially yet. Did you just accidentally reveal them?

In context to the Repy above:

“The two additional packs are coming in the next two weeks, one per week (Insane Night 17th Sept and Prey In The Darkness 24th Sept).”

Oh hey mike i forgot to ask

do you know why are notification bar has nothing scrolling underneath?

Just been bugging me

Whoops,

This is the PS3 XMB Improvement thread by Scorchio:

People keep sending me this message.

We r protesting against infinity ward 4 letting microsoft get map packs weeks before playstation on Mw2.
True? or False?

Hi Mike, the links that haven’t worked were to show this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axW8fuMjvAk

Its a fanmade XMB/Friendslist/Profile and most people agree its fantastic. Can you forward the video/idea on to whomever can do something about it?

Cheers mate.

MIKE ARE YOU THERE?

Any idea when the store gets updated?
Thanks

Mike did you see all the comments from last week does sony understand about this ps1 classics shortage p.s hope you had a good holiday but other than that sony is a let down for those who want psp for ps1 classics

Cool update!

PS: If only everyone from Sony would be like “Mike Kebby” this blog would be much better D: i mean, he answered to every question quickly here D:

Damn customs ruin everything

so unfair

Great update, Mike!

Great ipdate Mike And welcome back. I wanna test out the LBP even though I have had the game since it came out.

Mike please please look at this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axW8fuMjvAk

forward to the relavant team,

this is what we want

is this just a one of the store list being published in the afternoon or are we going back to the bad old days?

Will there be a download version of Dissidia?

Is it just me or does the Guitar Hero 5 song import/update only go to a ‘page not found’ page on the EU blog? Is this because Guitar Hero haven’t got this page up yet or is the link incorrect? Can’t wait to get the game tomorrow though.

Oh and welcome back from your hols Mike and thanks for bringing a decent update with you, especailly for the free WipEout theme. Very appreciated.

Hey Mike

I’m getting seriously worried about the back catalogue of PSP games or even new releases such as FF: Dissidia and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (especially the latter as most gameplay videos of it are seen being played on the PSP go) available for download on the PSN considering the ‘go’ is out in 3 weeks.

Can you assure me that the EU PSN will be getting a LOT (please quantify if possible) more PSP games within the next 3 weeks/updates?

Thanks

Hope you had a great holiday (pretty cool update as well, quite a few demo’s I will def try)

@Mike:
The broken link is fixed: http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board. id=62&thread.id=1576611

its about the XMB redesign from PS3 Users.

Sorry the link is broken again. I’ve puted it into an tiny url now: http://tinyurl.com/me9343

Mike do you know when the Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising Demo will be available?

keep up the good work!

@ Steven Hibbs, thats not what we all want actually!

@ Everyone else, will you all start reading the f-in comments before you ask questions as some of you are repeating questions that have been answered! Your just cramming the comments with a load of repeated crap!

Sorry Mike it just had to be done, like this every week!

this is one of the best updates ever, thank you mike.

Lol he mike the thing these guys are trying to show you is this

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/09/09/xmb-gets-some-proper-de sign-work/

Will the What’s New section finally update today then? It’s been the same since it launched.

I wonder if we get Bomberman “Ultra” before the US store features the already anounced successor, Bomberman Live: Battlefest (probably Bomberman Ultra: Battlefest for PlayStation release) in 2010.

Huzzah on the dynamic theme prices, i was expecting a higher price around £2.49 (like the overcharged fat princess) but these prices are fine by me, deffo buying the LBP theme.

See that Mike, you come back and everything gets better strait away .

What about Bomberman and Invincible Tiger?

Mike could you please tell us what the DLC for Batman is all about?

“Now thats what i call an update! Mike any idea when are getting any psone classics suchs as you know metal gear”

I emailed Konami myself the other day, just out of curiosity really, with the following:

“Apologies if this is the wrong address to email this particular query to, but are there any plans to release the PS1 version of Metal Gear Solid onto the European Playstation store? It was released onto the American store nearly 3 months ago, and from what people have understood from the EU official PS3 blog is that Konami (for some reason) haven’t submitted it to SCEE. Is it ever going to see a release over here as it is one of the most requested PS1 titles for the store?”

Their reply:

Dear Konami Customer,

Thank you for contacting Konami Customer Support.

In response to your questions about Metal Gear Solid downloads, I’m very sorry to tell you we have no information at this time regarding this.

Please keep an eye on our website http://www.konami.com for information about developments and future plans.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your feedback.

Regards,
KDE-US, Customer Support

Read into that what you will.

Great update!

Nice to see a demo of Fat Princess, I have yet to decide if I will buy it but this demo will make it much easier to decide.

Also great to see some dynamic themes and they have a reasonable price too (especially the WipeOut HD one… ).

Very nice update. Kudos for the free theme. Disappointed the Fallout 3 DLC didn’t make it, especially since it was announced by Sony.

That is a good employee! 2 sites of comments and 16 replies! Too bad all people in Sony are not like Mike :/

Any PSone Classic games in near future?

Have to say I’m impressed with the nice update this week! A last I can write a positive message.

Great and free dyn theme! also motorstorm really love those games and will buy the theme which is reasonably priced! thanks for that!

oh and welcome back mike!

brings us some more (free) goodness in the future
