Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (1st October 2009)

@Mike

I understand difficulties for SCEE to publish titles on euro PSN, but the Italian store have far less PSP games than USA store, and i think you know that. I’m not saying that you are not doing a good work, i’m saying only that looking at the US store there is quality and number differences. EU PSN has always been left with far less titles than NA, but now the situation is simply intolerable, or at last it is for me.

Anyway can i ask if there is a way to report the translation errors i’ve found int the Italian PSN (1 game category plus 1 game mistyped (Soul Calibur is now Soul Caliber).

Thousand thanks.

hey thnx 4 answering. and karma is always a gd threat, i WAS going to get a pspGO this week, but my 60gb PS3 died on me last week so i had 2 invest in a Slim PS3 ,

if ucant choose 3rd party titles 3 y not hv voting on 1st party stuff?

any new on the long promised ghostbusters DLC?

any news on likely timetable for GT and rewards emails going out?

Can you help me please Mike.

I just bought the FIFA10 DLC for £7.99, it’s taken my money but there’s no download. There’s no mention of it either in my ‘download list’, and there’s no option to download it anywhere either.

Yet my £7.99 is gone.

Help?

Hi Mike. (In reference to my comment (#125)) Why are there no plans to release them on the SA store? COD4 Map packs were, and I hope CODMW2 will be. Sorry to be angry but Im sure you can understand that it is frustrating to be denied DLC, something which Im sure Sony could sort out if they cared enough. Can you maybe tell me if the SA PSN store cards which will be released in SA later this month, will work on the UK store? Thanks

mike are you aware the motorstorm theme is up for free?

I cant find the TNMT in my store only the upgrade to unlock the full version. I purchased this but where can I find the complete game.. Please help..

Hi Mike,

Has there been any updates about the fallout 3 DLC yet? I paid for it last night and was given the wrong one. Contacted support but got ziltch so far.

Anyone else still having this issue or is it just me?

Are you trying make fun of us? So, Gran Turismo PSP for 36,99 eur – thats OK. BUT!!! Where did you take a price over 1200,- Czech koruna in Czech PSN store??? Even if was 1 euro=27 CZK (which isn’t – today is 26) then price should be roughly 1000,- CZK. Even my UK import on physical UMD was 750,- include shipping. Do you really think that somebody will buy from Czech PSN store??? On top that, it isn’t really czech store, because it’s completely in english. Weird is, that price on ie. Flower was OK. On other side ie. Disgaea3 DLC is for multimillionaries. Make something with it!!!

Does Funky Punch only work on the PSPGo? I’ve a PSP2000 and the game won’t load. I’ve tried ringing Sony but they didn’t have a clue about what to do.

Just noticed, still no mention of the download size on most of the store content…

I know i know, Fallout 3 DLC only in english stores.
My question is: then why do i get the broken steel image on the “what’s new” thing on my XMB?

Everyday i log on, see the broken steel logo there, “new” underneath, and select in in hopes it takes me to the store instead of an error :/

mike / 1= do u ask capcom if monsterhunter wil be on ps3
2= great job to u , u asword a lot more = very apreciated !!!
3= edit buton for mesage ?
4= demon souls = very aticipated in europe ,
but wy no europe version ????
5= release date of wicht knicht cronicles in europe?

tank u.

Did the dynamic theme from motorstorm get removed ?

i cant find it in the dutch store

Hey Mike, thanks for the great update this week. Been waiting Brutal Legend for so long, didn’t get access to the early demo even though I preordered it long ago sadly.

Question though. I know you probably will answer no, or can’t say anything and therefore will say no, but I want to ask anyway. Since Entropay’s been blocked, is there any other way possible for me, and other European countries that speak English yet don’t get English content, to get access to the UK or US store again and buying what we want from there. The money will go to Sony and the developers either way, and it would a whole lot less complaining on this blog while this Fallout 3 drama (which I found very sad, since I’ve been a huge Fallout fan since the first game) continues?

And secondly, When (maybe if is more appropriate) the Fallout 3 DLC is ever released to us, will it still be available in English as well, since a Dutch DLC version won’t work with my copy of Fallout 3, and I really don’t want to rebuy the GOTY edition when I have the original lying here. I’d like to still get the DLC in English, not translated into Dutch or any other language.

Thanks in advance.

Mike, any news on the GT PSP Veynon DLC issue?

Am I going blind or is the star wars demo not in the store?? isn’t the Swedish store updated at the same time as the UK one since its content’s not localized in Swedish?

So Mke what did the team say?

Still no sign of GTA LCS and VCS on PSN. At least not in Denmark! Just to let you know.

tnk you mike : MotorStorm Arctic Edge Dynamic Theme (£1.59/€1.99)
= 2 full days free in belgium , haha lol.

en lots off friends = thank you to

FALLOUT3 DLC not there in New Zealand PSN store “Latest” section
and when you see a link to The Pitt in the random banners and click it a message pops up saying “nothing to down load”

whats the haps?

I read this on a message board:

“Originally Posted by SCEA PR:
Virtually all PSP titles launching on UMD moving forward will also be available for the PSPgo system. Titles launching today include the PSP system’s debut of the best-selling racing franchise, Gran Turismo, along with MotorStorm: Arctic Edge and Beaterator(TM). Other key titles launching soon from first-party and publishing partners include Assassin’s Creed® Bloodlines(TM), BUZZ Master Quiz, DISSIDIA: FINAL FANTASY, Grand Theft Auto® Chinatown Wars(TM), Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier(TM), LittleBigPlanet(TM), NBA 10 The Inside, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 and Star Wars Battlefront®: Elite Squadron(TM).”

Can you give us tell us if this will apply for SCEE as well? I know there has been much talk about the US Store vs. the EU but I would like to know, especially regarding Dissidia

Hey mike

so the motorstorm arctic edge dynamic theme isnt in the NL store?

Or did it get removed cause of the pricing error i read about in other posts ??

Have a good weekend

just phoned customer support to try to get this fixed, the conversation lasted 5 minutes and ended with the woman admitting she didn’t know what went wrong. How the heck can I get this fixed when this is the level of support Sony are giving out

Does anyone else only have the option to download the pitt but not operation anchorage.
Cant’t find it on the shop, but the pitt is there.

Mike – no apology neccesary mate, thankyou for getting back to me.

I realised once i had put the disc in for the first time that it had registered. It was just a bit confusing as there was nothing in my download list.

But its all good now.

Thanks again for the replies.

Why hasn’t the NZ store been fixed yet? We still can’t access the new Fallout 3 DLC. I’m starting to get more than a little annoyed.

Could the person responsible for this mess please be fired and replaced with somebody competent. Thanks.

“I’m confused, I can see them there – they have been released in NZ…”

I just checked again and they’re not listed in the New Releases section or the A-Z section.

On the front of the store there is an icon for The Pitt that cycles, but when I select it it doesn’t lead anywhere

It is too late now. They’re all off on their weekends, so we won’t see a fix until Tuesday at the earliest.

Heads will roll.

No Tetris for Australia, I hoped to get this as my first Mini

But otherwise awesome update guys, with all the games coming out leading up to the Christmas period hope this is the first of many of this type of update.

Hopefully that Uno will be available in Europe next week …

“MotorStorm Arctic Edge Dynamic Theme (£1.59/€1.99)”
But in Poland is for free
error?

@arcadiush

It’s also free over here, too.

And while I’m here, I have “The Pitt”-DLC for Fallout 3, but I don’t see the “Operation: Anchorage” in the Norwegian Store. What gives? :/

@Arion87 – no SA psn cards don’t work in the UK store.

@NomadicWulf – you could try importing a psn card. though bare in mind that some dlc (usually game add-ons) is region locked.

@Apnomis – i understand about fixed pricing, and i get what you’re saying, but there is one major difference between xblm and psn, and that is that sony charges additional fees to publishers for content on the psn (bandwidth charges and such) that microsoft does not. at the time industry analysts speculated that this could lead to publishers shying away from the psn, but i think we both know that wasn’t going to happen instead they’ve just passed the increases on in the dlc price. the CoD4 map pack is £7.99, but i checked my receipt, and i bought it for £6.99 which was before introduction of the additional charges. if you bought the CoD4 map pack for £6.80 on xblm, it’s actually no good to you unless you’ve also bought a subscription at extra cost. this could actually make it more expensive to play the rival console. i know for single player dlc like fallout3 that a gold subscription isn’t necessary, but i think largely because all xblm costs are subsidised by the membership subs (i prefer sony’s model). i largely agree with you though, i don’t think the additional costs are that high to warrant an increase from £6.99 to £7.99, i think publishers are doing some generous rounding. £7.49 (at most) might be fairer.

by the way, for fifa fans in the UK, get down to your nearest tesco, fifa 10 is on special offer for £24.97! this weekend only. though you might need some luck to find some left in stock.. the three stores in my area have now been cleaned out. if you can find one, you’ll save 15 quid which you can spend on the dlc and still come out quids in.

replying to my own comment (537).. i notice this doesn’t seem to affect the US though. :-/

I can’t buy Fallout 3 DLC!
When I try to buy It, It says
“The credit card information on file is not valid”

Yet it allows me to enter them under account management just fine.
What’s happened? Why can I no longer use my debit card?

I bought the Fallout DLC fine last week..

I download Broken Steel last week but when i went to the PSN store to download the Pitt & Operation: Anchorage i didn’t found them?!

what’s going on?

This weeks turning sour for me now…is anyone else having problems installing the Brutal Legend demo? I can download it easy, but it’ll only install to 14% before telling me the files corrupted.

I hope this is just a problem with my PS3..

well done mike on the store update this week, the psn store team all deserve a kiss from an angel.

Howcome Norwegian store got Fallout DLC and we dutchmens don’t? Damn this is starting to annoy me. Just wanted to play the DLC’s soooooo bad! We’re more than a week further, still no sign of the dlc, I just want a logical explanation! Not that it ‘just’ came out for the english countries earlier. Dutch gamesites all said that it will be available the 24th. Come on Mike, give us better news, at least an explanation why we’ve been told to get broken steel on the 24th? Dont wipe me of with the same old crappie explanation! or just ignoring me!

Ps: its really frustrating if you, as our link to PSN, tell your fellow countryman that you almost finished broken steel, while we are still cursing and hoping that is will come out soon!

sincerely.

In New Zealand.

D/L’d Broken Steel (worked ok to D/L, but I’d forgotten how buggy FO3 is…)…

But now can’t D/L The Pitt even though it’s up on the store (no content here).

Rubbish.

(and where the hell is my PlayTV Sony NZ? You promised it was coming and I bought a PS3 over a XB360 because of it… I’ve owned a v1, v2, now a v3 and won’t be buying a PS4 whenever they come out unless you regain my trust by living up to your marketing.)

(Grumpy? Yes – never get between an addict and his content.)

No thanks.

For the people who are wondering when the Fallout DLC will arrive in stores that don’t have them.

They wont, nada, Bethesda decided that they wont release the DLC on the Playstation store in non english countries. You can whine and cry all you want, but that wont change anything. The DLC will be available in the GOTY edition that will cost about the same as all DLC combined. Just be patient.. It will be released in a couple of days.

Hello there,

I bought the PSP Go system the 1st October but it happen that I stayed a little disapointed with it because of the lack of games available in the Playstation Store. The store doesn’t have a great choice for PSP Go users, great titles like Crisis Core: FFVII, Dissidia, Lara Croft Tomb Raider and others should be available I Just hope we’ll be able to buy more contents in the store someday, a part of that the console is great (I was a owner of the PSP 1000 as well XD)

any idea how many psp games we can expect to see added weekly?

this update still leaves the selection lacking for pspgo owners, who have no other means of getting their games.

any any news on dynasty warriors strikeforce? the DLC is there but the game is not. will the full game be available any time soon?

Personally I think that they should had over 70% of the games in the Playstation store before lauching the PSP Go due to the non-existance of the UMD drive…

Mike can you help me please I download Broken Steel last week but when i went to the PSN store to download the Pitt & Operation: Anchorage i didn’t found them?!

please i don’t want to buy the GOTY edition =(
