‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (29th October 2009)

hey mike,couple of questions first will we be geting any different items in the ‘sale’ anytime soon adn can you give us a hint whats happening next week;)

Where are the Fallout 3 expansions?

downloaded the fat princess and trine demos last night, but haven’t tried them yet. looked through my history, and it seems i’ve downloaded 54 demos in total, of which i’ve eventually bought 3 (and 1 of those i was going to buy anyway). demos don’t seem to sell games for me.. :-/

btw: for info, if anyone wants to download the 2 ratchet & clank demos, it’s 5gb in total. i’m going to buy the game anyway, so i passed, especially having already downloaded 6gb for MAG recently.

So how much longer until Final Fantasy VIII is available at the PlayStation store?

Mike, the problem with the store is not the service in itself, but rather the inferiority of our store to the US one.

Personally, if I’d known it would take so long to score some decent PS1 classics, I’d have signed up to the US store instead and bought credit for it on eBay. I’d still do that now but someone told me I’d likely lose my EU shop content.

Any chance of a new feature on the blog that lets us track down our own posts quickly? Scouring page after page to see if we go a response can be frustrating.

Thanks for reading

forget about us/uk store comparisons

the real problem is how inferior the rest of the european psn stores namely portugal are in comparison to UK (because UK=Europe and ignorance is kewl)

So how much longer until Final Fantasy VIII is available at the PlayStation store??

Y que pasa con los clasicos de psx Abe’s odysee y Abe’s Exxodus, para cuando?

Nice update Mike, need to check out those R&C Demo’s and Zombie Tycoon has me interested need to check it out.

Once question about the rating posts are we rating the post quality, or the post content?

Mike please do not delete my post in future, it’s not good to disregard a customer’s opinion just because it reflects badly on Sony.

aawwww! yep another week of sadness, another disappointing ps store update, but hey what else can i expect since im only interested in one thing, Xenogears. any idea of when it will be in the US store or just any info about it?

Mike doesnt have total control of what goes into the store, so stop being rude.

Hi there

Just checked the ps3 store (residing in Belgium) and there are no Fallout 3 DLC’s to be found

Cheers

Poor Mike – do you rant at your boss like we do you?

I want to point out that the Clank demo isn’t showning on the Swedish Store. By using the “Search” function, you can find the icon for the demo, but once you select it, a message pop up saying “No content found”.

Also: is there a way to directly contact the local PSS Team to give feedback about some content not showing up?

Umm. Sorry but has Abbey Road been released yet?? I’ve been checking every 15′ since yesterday and it’s still not there. Am I doing something wrong?

I only can see a few minor new games for psp in ue psn.
Is quite simple, there are a lot of fantastic games for psp in umd, so, what is sony/square enix/whoever waiting to update psn with these good games? Christmas? I don’t think is a problem of copyright, because some of these games have been released in japanese or/and US psn.

I have patience, but….

Hey Mike I totally understand how you feel, my only surprise is its taken this long, i guess you will have to think whether its worth all the hassle. If it was me i would post the update and then thats it, no reply’s or anything else.

Hope you have a good weekend and you can forget about work for a couple of days, i know that i do

Hello Mike,
I’m from Poland and I’d really like to know if dlc for The Beatles: Rock Band, Abbey Road track pack, will be coming to Polish PS Store… at all. Or it may be available through in-game store, I don’t know… I ask you nicely to answer my question
Despite that it’s one of the greatest updates since long time, Ratchet & Clank, Trine, Dragon Ball, Zombie Apocalypse… really cool. I hope you’ll keep it this way, but for now, big kisses for the whole team, especially women

and now, this week’s retro corner
for the eu vc: zombies ate my neighbours from the snes.
and the eu psn: another week of nothin’
and new from this week the us psn: this week the us got no new ps1 titles, though they still have the three tomb raiders, or is it four, blood omen and final fantasy tactics from recent weeks.

and that’s this week’s retro corner.
until next week

Still no word on the Fallour 3 DLC Mike? Will we have to wait another week then, or longer?

My only regret is that I haven’t double checked the PSN Store situation before registering to EU one. I did that in a hurry, which was a big mistake. Thankfully, I am the happy owner of PSP300, so i can buy every game possible cheaply, but I bought PSP for PS1 Classics as much as for the new games and that EU store fail to deliver. you fail to deliver pretty much everything, but since i have the freedom of UMDs I don’t care so much for PSP games in the store. PSN store is a great platform, but lack of content kills it. If this some new marketing move to make people more loyal towards Sony, they you fail miserably.

Battle Tanks or Tank Battles that is the question ?

The game plays as Battle Tanks but seems to be listed on the store as Tank Battles.

It has been reduced to £5.49 (Was £7.99).

Good game but annoying for people like myself that paid full price only for it to be reduced so quickly after release, not cool.

I only have one question i understand if you dont have time answering but do you know if Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Game Packs have been released and if they have where are they NOT available?

Thanks on before hand.

Im confused Square Enix can release Crystal Defenders but no FF8…come on…

“Another five track pack to put on the list of offenders – I should have spotted this myself too. We’re working on rectifying these issues with the help of the publisher.”

The Wolfmother track pack isn’t any cheaper if you buy the pack or you buy single songs here in Norway, 10kr per song or 50 kr for the 5 song pack, however the pack is advertised as being cheaper than the individual tracks.

The same thing happened with the first Spinal Tap pack, which is actaully costing more as a pack than individual tracks.

I buy a decent amount of DLC for the Rock Band platform and appreciate that the packs are at a reduced rate, however someone from Harmonix at RB.com said they didn’t set the prices but Sony did and you say you have get help from the publisher to rectify these mistakes, then i’m not really sure who is responsible.

Hey Mike first time comment here…..(its a bit late but) nice work on the store there are loads of cool demos out now its awesome….i know your probly sick of it now but is FFVIII gonna be released in November cause i ave €9.99 resting in my account

@JamesH360

Dont get your hopes up on FF8 :/ Hopefully Mike will prove me wrong 2 mora

I cant’t help but get my hopes up for it. I got the game when i was 8 (I’m 16 now) and I grew up with these characters. I ended up having to get it again because i broke the first disk and now even that is broken due to age. It’s definitely going to be on the store anyway because it will be a huge source of income for both Sony and Square.

I really really hope it comes on store 2 mora its one of my favourite games ever and i havn’t played the game for years either

Hey Mike, Just wondering if we’re gonna see some Metal Gear anytime soon? Portable Ops Maybe? But what we’d all really appreciate is Metal Gear Solid (PSX), any chance of us seeing it on the EU store finally?

Was also curious if we’d get to see Gun Showdown some time soon? Thanks Mike

This is off topic but I was wondering what’s it like working with computers most of the time? (I like the sound of it but i need some advice.)

Come on FF8 on todays update please lol

Can we finally get the games like Oddworld Abe’s Odyssee, Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus and Resident Evil 1 and 2 to EU Store.
