‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (8th October 2009)

Who in the world is Billy Squire??? not that I have Guitar Hero like lol.:)

Mike, it needs to be said. The community at large, wants classic ps1 games, CLASSIC. Something is askew somewhere in the chain of command in what gets onto the psn store. I just looked onto the US store and was boggled at what was on offer just in the recent WEEKS.

Digital distribution should be breaking down barrier’s, not putting more up. A Bug’s Life just doesn’t cut it. It’s like a classic film channel, having a showing of Con Air or Face Off. I mean, sure they’re fun films but I want to watch my frakking Citizen Kane.

really crap update, will download only the first three of listed videos:(…

Hey Mike!

I noticed during the store uplift last week on MediaGo that some of the stuff was missing. Amongst them were:

Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce download packs 1-4
Space Invaders Extreme demo

Any idea if they were brought down for any reason?

Also, any clues on Dissidia? I’m playing it so much the battery keeps running out thanks to the UMD drive

Do you know when Fallout 3 Operation Anchorage is coming to the Norwegian PS store?

i’m wanting an assassins creed 2 demo

this weeks update suck

“Our PS3 content also grows this week, with the addition of two games, Comet Crash and Digger HD, whilst we also finish off the Fallout 3 DLC with the final two packs Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta.”

Hi mike.Why lie to us like this?.The expansions of the fallout have left only a few European countries.

In the other countries like Spain,Portugal,italy and large etc we have not seen the first expansion and now these will not.

And sony and betheslda give no explanation.

Read the official forums of the fallout, people are very angry.

Do you have any idea when they will leave the expansions in other countries?.

LOL, A Bug’s Life?

And €31.99 for Prinny? Thank god for eBay and US PSN cards is all I can say.

Hey Mikeface!

thanks for the heads up. fair few PSP titles again, some of which are back catalog so its nice to see that getting a bit of love.

after eating a bad pizza last night ive been sick all day so i think a copy of badman and a cuppa might be my cure!

My mistake, Prinny is a wallet smashing €39.99. Compare that to $9.99 in the US Store.

i wanna have the ps1 game Alien – Resurrection

Hello Mike, thanks for the update.

One thing I am very interested in but unfortunatly don’t see on the EU PSN is the library of NIS games found on the US PSN. I know Disgaea 2 for PSP is not out yet, but is there any titles such as Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?, or even Disgaea 1 on the way?

Bugs Life? Get SERIOUS we are not KIDS. Wii is for the KIDS!

Mike, any news on those ‘The copyright protection information is invalid.(8010850E)’ and ‘ The install failed 80109D53 ‘ errors with those PSPgo Rewards-games?

Great I just bought monster hunter for my PSP-Go for £25 on Friday and now its dropped to £16 =(

Hi Mike, will we be seeing more special offers on PS3 games soon? Just the one seems a little miserly!
Also, I hear that the Oddworld games will be making an appearance soon, any clues as to the timeframe?
I’d love to play through Abe’s Odyssey again!
Oh and where are those pesky new avatars we were promised with the 3.0 update?!

Ta!

No ff8? Im gonna go hibernate till next week thanx alot *SOB*.

Where is Detuned?

Really? How on earth can you guys justify those prices? €39.99 (that’s $59) for Prinny: Can I really be the Hero? When it’s $9.99 in the US Store.

€29.99 for Holy Invasion Of Privacy Badman! $9.99 in the US PSN Store.

If you guys are trying to the kill the PSP before it’s even a month old, you’re going the right way about it.

i buy my games from game stores because on the ps store there are no good games that i like. the only game i have from the ps store is TMNT.

Nice update Mike, although I think you’ve learnt by now that you’re never going to please everyone no matter how big the update! I’ve given you a 5-star rating to make you feel better

As for this weeks update I’ll be getting Digger HD and downloading some of those videos, I will probably get Trine too – I’ve been waiting for my PSN Store Cards to turn up before buying anything else (can’t argue with Zavvi’s pricing!).

What is you’re opinion of SCEA doing a deal to sell games on Amazon? Do you plan to do something similar in Europe? And are you worried about it affecting your sales in SCEE as it now gives EU users an easy way to buy off the US store without needing a US credit card…

P.S. I know you’ll be expecting my usual prod about exchange rates so here we go – Comet Crash (£6.29/€7.99) and Digger HD (£7.99/€9.99) are both $9.99 games (well done Comet Crash, boo hiss DiggerHD!), Guitar Hero tracks (£1.59/€1.99) and Rockband tracks (£0.99/€1.49) are both $1.99 downloads (well done Rockband, boo hiss Guitar Hero!)

Hey Mike, I saw your comment about you hoping MGS1 comes to the store soon, does that mean you still havn’t received an answer from Konami?

Also, go away troll ^^.

psp go has launched but i cant find any final fantasy titles on ps-store

MIKE do you think it is time that your boss which i take is in charge of the content on the psn store should take some serious action in getting the likes of capcom konami and square enix to publish these psone classics in europe why not ban these companies from submitting any other content till they fix the ps1 back catalogue issues i wonder how loing it will take then?? a bugs life cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn???????????//

mike your policy of asking them is not working sterner measures are needed fact

Nice price on Monster Hunter, I hope we can see more of these “sales” that come close to the actual price of the physical games on amazon

Seriously now, I might pick it up now and show some support for fair pricing.

I gave feedback on you, Mike, a few weeks ago on the Contact Us section, and got no reply. They don’t love you (or me) much!

I believe it’s a solid update, though, I like the momentum you’re creating towards a new era for the PSP, even if sometimes Sony passes the idea it just wants money.

Two things, if I may ask:

1) Please tell the Webmaster guy/gal people would really love being able to actually reply to one another, and having an option for instant mail notification. I hate how I have to refresh this page for the whole day hoping to have a reply and ‘nada’. Then I have to check my post’s number, search on the pages for any @number to see if someone else replied to me or commented it. Not nice.

(continues)

Fallout 3 DLC and more PSP games makes this a good update. I just wish we’d get better PS1 classics.

Mike, Question for ya. Ya say the publishers have to send in the content for SCEE, before it can get sent here. While I respect the answer and such, I just think that the answer’s a bit fishy. That would mean, that more than half the game companies in the world (big ones included as well) are ignoring SCEE and their fans. Sounds fighy to me. :/

Anyway, good update, and thanks for always responding to our comments And good luck being the first poster next time mate

PLAY.COM ARE SELLING PSPGOS FOR £149.99 and im still not buying one dont fancy p[aying £31.99 for prinny for example

2) As a student developer, I’m a bit angry at the fact that the way to get some SDK support for Sony consoles is being good at programming and releasing on Apple’s AppStore. You won’t compete much with them if you require developers to prove themselves on the iPod/iPhone first. I will concede, though: since I bought Fieldrunners I can’t play anything else!

I know you’re not in charge of these things and my post is probably “you’re fired”-dynamite to you. You’re just the only person we can talk to, so, sorry for the rant.

Great update, can’t wait to carry on with fallout but i’ve only got £8 in my account until the end of the month, do I buy Point Lookout today or Mothership Zeta. HELP!

there will be more final fantasys to follow in 2012 in europe if were lucky

FalloutDLC for non english speakers??
THE PITT?

PD: Please, specificate that DLC is not available for nonenglish countries to save us the disappointment…

point lookout

mike well SCEE OWN THE STORE DONT THEY OR NOT?

i hope next week it will be a good update this week was not a good update this weeks update suck

IF THEY OWN IT THEY CAN TELL KONAMI /CAPCOM TO GET LOST CANT THEY??

Hey Mike, I was just thinking do you ever wish the internet in Europe was operated like it is in China? i.e. sensored information and no free access to external sources? Just think how much easier your job would be if no one knew which games have hit the US store and missed the EU one, or what pricing is operated in the US, or how many PSOne games the US store has!

Every update would be a 5-star masterpiece and you would come to the comments section to get your ego stroked about how great your updates are week in week out, rather than get ranted at about “where’s X?” or “why is Y that much?”!

I wonder what will happen when MGS, FFVIII and Resi Evil finally hit the SCEE store, what will be the next SCEA update to give you the shaft I wonder!?

Keep the faith though, you’ll be looked back on as a hero of this console generation in years to come!

Hi Mike,

Last time I looked at a map, Europe was a little bigger than the United Kingdom.

Fallout should be named Failout.

Not the best update, but not exactly awful.

I remember the days when I had A Bug’s Life on the PS1… ah, memories.

That might well keep me entertained until FF8 arrives on the store.

UNO TRAILER! :O

Does this mean UNO is on it’s way? I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now.

Hey Mike, how come theres no demos

It is a scam when your charging us £8 per pack when the goty edition is only £30 MAX. These packs will total way over £30, and you dont get the original game.

Your ripping us off. Plus since the recent patch the game is practically broke. Its full of issues relating to framerate and freezes.

Can you just tell me mike is there going to be another fallout patch ? I would be happy to pay £8 per pack if the game was actually eqial to other versions in terms of performance.

Warning… Another comment filled with PS1 questions.

Seriously, what’s the word on Konami & MGS? Have they at least got the ball rolling to get it up on our store yet? Also, why is Crash Bandicoot 2 STILL not on there again? Just one more.. THQ & Smackdown. Anything at all?

Cheers.

Wow….MORE PSP games this week? Do you want me to file for bankruptcy? lol…thank god we’re finally getting more psn titles.
My PSP Go salutes you Mike!

Also, pretty decent PS3 update too, Digger HD FTW!

I got a question though Mike, any news about Dissidia popping up on PSN? I mean surely a high-profile title like that would be coming out on PSN to benefit from all the New PSP Go customers?

And…Does Obscure come out today or tomorrow?

Best halloween would be all resident evil 1,2,3 on EU store with a message HAPPY HALLOWEEN hint, hint ^.^

Mothership Zeta!!! pew pew pew!

Can you please confirm weather Tetris is on the Australian Store? Thank you.

I know you would p.s before i get ready for work KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MIKE TRY GET SOME PS1 GAMES FOR NEXT WEEK AND SEE YOU THEN :-p
