I’ve got to ask! (Hopefully you’re still there to answer LL haha!)
Is this coming to the UK PSN store as well?

Hopefully, but that’s a PSN decision. Fingers crossed.

No ps1 next week omg omg omg (cries) omg omg !!!!!! so mammoth update just for psp games SLASH ps3

@Madmanbutter

perhaps its to do with if its successful on PSN? like if it sells well on the US store they’ll bring it to EU?

ill take your word then bt thousands wouldnt lol even capcom

I’m enjoying Uncharted 2 too much to be upset over this weeks store update although it’s refreshing to see no zombie or tower defense games this week.

Let’s just hope that November will bring “Dissidia: Final Fantasy Universal Tuning” http://www.eurogamer.net/game/dissidia-final-fantasy-universal-tuning- psp — if not then I’m going to be really down about buying my GO… Don’t get me wrong, I love the features and playing FF7 on it is epic… but I really wish that there were more PSP games on the store. I think that Sony should encourage developers to put their games on the PSP store — otherwise GO owners just get shafted…

Damn I wish I could get Crisis Core… just waiting here to splash out the cash and Square Enix just don’t want it… D: Oh well… keep on with the updates and hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to play all the old classics and PSP games that I’ve longed for…

Back to Monster Hunter and FF7 I think! *Waits for next week’s update*

Was hoping the R&C demo would be here this week like the US store.

Oh well.

Hi Mike, you must get stressed when people ask the same things every week then get frustrated when it’s not your fault. Anyway, when do we get Resident Evil PS1 classics?

@Raiton-UK

wasn’t Dissidia UT a Japanese version of the western release?

nothing halloween related like u.s got happening with store then mike

Thanks for the reply Mike! I feel special now

publishers submit content, we pass it, then release it – we don’t ‘decide’ what to release from other publishers catalogues.
………………………………………………… ………

But isn’t this a good reason why sony should never have released the go in europe without the content and publishers to back the system up.

@Acid – I heard that they based it off of the N. American release of DFF but that it would be avaliable on US/ PAL stores at some point too… hmm… I’ll have to look into it… if not then I hope that we get Dissidia soon…

can i just ask mike on a seriousl note . why after tones of bad feedback abt store , content and home do scee not listen to customers in europe like other regions do . you guys get thousands and thousands of negative feedback abt the lack of stuff we have yet you dont seem to care , then expect us to actually still buy from e.u store sorry m8 bt if i was getting a selection of [DELETED] films on my virgin box and after thousands complaining and nothing was done to improve it do u really think i or any1 else who complained would buy anythn again .

@159

Are you kidding? The US store looks ugly as [DELETED] right now with those black boxes, Mike has said many times they like to keep the EU store nice, clean and simple.

@ Raiton-UK remember its up to the publisher to do a digital release of the title so you should send a few emails over to Sqeenix Europe to try and get em going

I’d love to have Crisis Core, Dissidia and the highly underrated Final Fantasy Tactics as downloadable titles (as i hate UMD’s.. fiddly gits)

Wow Mike…USELESS update as always. Pathetic really in comparison to the US.

@ 164 i said halloween related not exactly like u.s as the black does look shabby bt they could do something rather than nothing

@ Seany1

dude, you cant expect AAA games every week. its just not going to happen! what would you even want the store to have? PS1 titles like everyone else? if you got them you’d complain there isn’t any new content or just ask for other ones you don’t have or that the prices are too high. R&CF demo? the game isn’t out til next month! why would they release the demo this early! Zombie Apocalypse? its in QA.. i’m all for them getting the bugs out of something they want me to pay for.

Mike-Any news on Batman arkham asylum & Uncharted 2 DLC?

You are 100% on no ps1 classics next week then ?

Nooooooo?!?!…. where is Abbey Road ????

@Acid: Yeah, I know it’s down to developers to release them on the store, hence my comment: “just waiting here to splash out the cash and Square Enix just don’t want it… D: Oh well…”.

I understand that it’s down to the devs to publish their stuff on there, but what I don’t understand is why Sony don’t get moving and make it worth the devs time and money to put their stuff on the store… they created a device that only accepts digital versions of a game, the “GO”, and yet don’t create any incentives for devs to market their games on there… which means that the people who buy a “GO” are essentially shafted as they don’t get the content that PSP 3000 owners get…

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a rant, it’s more of a query/ observation. I just wish that Sony would prompt the more popular devs like Square into putting their stuff on the store so that more people would be happy…

Oh well…

And yeah, Tactics kicks ass!! !

Hi Mike!

This will be a kind of a “retro” question. Do you know if Square Enix is thinking on releasing Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Dissidia: Final Fantasy on the PStore?

Or, by the way, are there any news on FFVII: Crisis Core or Dissidia on the PStore?

Thanks

By the way: good week, any personal opinion on WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2010? (getting GTA: Chinatown Wars as soon as I can, but for me, that’s next week or so x3)

hmm intresting “Well next week is going to be a mammoth update in comparison – I can tell you all that much.”

what are you saying mike i hate cyptic clues.

its even the loads psp games or that said store *gasp* lol

@ acid . im not expecting AAA games every week cant remember saying that . im wanting and expectting a quality service like u.s have plus . 360 , itunes deliver lots more content in europe and they are the competition so go figure . theres thousands that mind abt lack of content and want a better service i am just 1 of them.

What’s the obsession with PSone games? we have next gen hardware why would you want to play old games?

Solution = Buy a PSone.

I know that playtv updates are directly downloadable from the aplication and not from the store, but like me I suppose there are a lot of playtv users that wants a NEW PLAYTV SOFTWARE UPDATE, with the new features long, long, long promised and awaited. Do you know some release date?

HEY MIKE , DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN THE PENTHOUSE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN PLAYSTATION HOME MANY THANKS M8

“Well next week is going to be a mammoth update in comparison – I can tell you all that much.”

Can we quote you on that? Or is it gunna be a naff update with games no one really cares about like most weeks?

i was thinking more along lines of games like , critter crunch , zombie apo, namco museum etc , people have cash to buy bt the longer scee make u wait and dont push to get the games the more u get annoyed and go out your way to buy them off u.s store

@176

It’s cheaper, easier, quicker and better to download on the PSN.

Mike, why doesn’t publishers publish their games in Europe then, huh? No answer? Thought so.

Guess we will have to wait and find out.

179 has a strong point.

Abbey Road DLC for Beatles Rock Band. Eas Press releas sais 22ed of October is the PS3 release date. Why issent it?!

…………………………………………………….. .

Absolutly right,and dont forget sony had over 6 months to get the content ready for the go’s launch,and then to top it off they bareface lied about the amount of content we’d be getting.

to quote john koller…..
According to Koller, there will be “at least 300″ titles available for digital purchase when the PSP Go is released.

Mike, can you answer @173 pretty please? x3

Is Australia getting Tetris?

I’ll tell you then Mike.

Because Sony/SCEE need to approach the Publishers and tell them to publish their products in PAL territories, and negotiate a price and date to them.
They will take this in to account and sort it out, they will be stupid if they don’t release it, ‘cus they will be losing out on money.
Europe put together is the same, if not bigger than America, in terms of content release so I don’t see why they wouldn’t publish their game in Europe. Sony needs to approach these companies and get on their backs and tell them to do this.

It honestly makes no sense to me as to why they would exclusively publish their products in America, it isn’t hard to port it to PAL, it really isn’t…

Thanks for the answer Mike !

ANYONE got any personal opinion on WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2010? I never owned any WWE Smackdown VS Raw for the PSP, so I’m highly in doubts about getting it or not…

Any opinions?

Another week where SCEE have to make me wait up for the American update to download a demo from the SCEA store, poor show. But your still a ledge Mike!

By the way, in case you haven’t noticed, I am not personally attacking you Mike – but SCEE, as you are a part of SCEE.

try an answer @2.09 mike.

p.s can i have a refund on my pspgo as its not fit for purpose.

Again, Mike taking the bullets to the chest for Sony here.
Hang on until that mammoth update!

Another week another let down.

@193

Umm…seeing as how Mike is the only person to talk to about our problems, seeing as Sony doesn’t listen otherwise.

Good to see Grand Theft Auton:CW and Smackdown v raw
any news on when oddworld will be available?
And is there a place to find out which psp games are going to get converted for psp go? or is it just random? Can i expect the new f-1 game to be available for the go? and the godfather any news on that? cheers

Hi

The Xbox users has already got the Dragon Ball Raging Blast’s Demo, when playstation user’s would get it ?

Thank you

@i_just_lold feel free to voice your frustrations but when you take it out on mike in such a rude and aggressive way it doesnt help anyone, infact it just makes you look like a child , ( had to change what it made u look like cos i got that awaiting moderation thingy lol)
