‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (4th February 2010)

What time will the update be live in Australia?

sorry if its already been asked.

it’s 10:40pm 4th of Feb at the moment.

I find it difficult to be excited about FF8 coming to the store since 2 copies I own of the game don’t work on the ps3 properly, seems a bit of a cheek to be honest.

However there are a few things in the update that have caught my eye.

Looking forward to try out Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Wait, what, Final Fantasy 8…

Let me just say that two more times, final fantasy 8, final fantasy VIII…!

Someone pinch me, are my eyes deceiving me, final fantasy 8 – the best game of all time, I think my left side is going numb…

I can not understand, how someone should write “Great update!” for this week update… :-/, its very bad update… no new interesting games…

Mike don’t suppose you know when we’re getting that White knight chronicles dynamic theme?

Hopefully not the week of its release i want it now

Having Final Fantasy VIII here is brilliant.

I dont suppose you have any news on Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment Mike?
I love SRPG’s above all else so any info you could share would be swell.

Solid demos out today too. Bandwidth is going to take a hit when I get home from work.

I can’t wait for FF VIII.

My physical copy won’t play past the opening part.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for putting up with us the last 4 months asking about FF VIII.

I hope you will get some peace before you get bombarded with other requests.

I still want Suikoden, Grandia and Legend of Dragoon but I won’t pester you with those…yet.

Any news on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on PSP? ;( My go is waiting.

I’m sorry to people who want to play the demo but for me:
THANK GOD the rumoured Heavy Rain demo didn’t appear this week…..I would have had to chop off my hands to stop myself from downloading it! (i’m staying 100% spoiler free, got CE on preorder).

Up by 1? Sounds good, thanks a lot man.
Looking forward to both demos.

Woo hoo! FFVIII completes everything that I’ve been waiting for (although I’d imagine I’ll pick up the Heavy Rain Demo next week).

I now have nothing left to look forward to, the only thing left to say is “So long…and thanks for all the codes!”

Cool, i need to get a new PSN card!

Mike Is the Euro store getting the PSP demo of Socom Fireteam Bravo 3 next week like the US store?

Nice Update:)

Mike Konami have said that Europe is thier biggest market, can you use this as an angle to get Silent Hill back on the PSN store

“I also remember sony saying about us having to pay to use the ps store”

This was never said by Sony at any point. There was a rumour that there would be a premium subscription version of PS3 online gaming in addition to the service we currently have, but paying to access the store? I’m sorry but that is just a dumb thing to think will happen.

seriosly mike [DELETED] were is final fantasy 9 godasake lmao . sorry had to be done . great update thanks for the demos , mike anyword about the mag dynamic themes being available to buy on store . thanks

Any word on when the Dragon Age: Origins DLC Return to Ostagar is coming out on PSN in Europe?

NOOOOOOO!

I was hoping for the Heavy Rain demo today. Gutted. Any news on when it’s turning up?

Wheres Final Fantasy 9 GOD DAMNIT!!

Ugh… what we have to put up with.

;p

Skills on the update Mike, I’m guessing the Heavy Rain demo was put back then?

Can’t wait to get my hands on Aliens vs. Pred, Sega have really been outdoing themselves recently.

I never actually played FFVIII before so I may give it a go, thanks again

My Eyepet get patched, do we know what’s in that new update ?

@Arkhea IF I am correct looking at another 15 minutes before the store goes live.

Holy F*** Balls thats a strong PSN update! going to get the demos and maybe buy some stuff too, good work Sony!

@#50 It’s 8:48pm Perth time, usually goes live about midnight

ill double post as my comment is awaiting moderation coz i put wt, lol . mike dude this update is lame were is final fantasy 9 lmao jk , any chance u can find out mike if mag dynamic themes will be coming to the store anytime soon , thanks dude great update for demos

Now this is what I call a delightful PSS update! Good work everybody at SCEE! I’ll have the same amount of goodness next week! Keep it up Mike!

We don’t need FF9, we have 7 and 8 and that’s plenty for me

infamous DLC FTW! Sweet update!

No Heavy Rain demo? Oh well, i guess 3 demos in one go (as rumoured) was asking for to much.
I like the new time this’ll be going live at, it would be good if you guys could always get the updates this early.

Also seeing as Square seen pretty onboard with the whole PSOne Classics thing, see if we cant get Front Mission 4 up.

Nice update Mike.

Thanks as usual!

A decent update at last.

good update

So is true or not that today in the european store it will be released a Heavy Rain demo?

Mike,

Could you pass this on to your colleagues? It seems they don’t read things ( I already posted it in last weeks blog 28 January, 2010 at 5:18 pm, but is seems you missed it. )

I used the “Contact PlayStation.Europe by Email” (5 weeks ago) link in the right panel of this blog but never got any reply or an automessage saying they got my message.
One time when I used a form (global site) that did send my message to SCEA I got almost instant replies.
If you could pass to your mail support colleagues that they should atleast send a message they get back at you in X days I would know that they received it. And reply to me within those days. Now it looks more like i’m being ignored and it makes me currently not wanting to buy SCEE products.
And after all those attempts (2x SCEA (unclear answers 9 and 5 weeks ago), 1x SCEE (no answer 5 weeks ago) 1 PM to a SCEE forum mod (no answer, 11 days ago)) I got no clearance on my issue (the WipEoutHD ingame ads (yes I hear from some people that they are gone, others still have them, but again, NO answer from SCEE to anything, so it is also unclear if they come back)).

Looking forward for your reply

Hi Mike

Made my first post last week but it was quite late in the day so it was way back at the end. Without going over the same ground again, I must say that as a PSPgo owner, the store updates are very poor.

The store is our only means of getting games. The lack of older PSP coming to the store is quite shocking. I know the game companies have to submit the games to you but it is a worry.

I have had many problems since buying the PSPgo and I’m even fed up with myself for moaning about it. The PSPgo needs all the good PR it can get: The rumored relaunch can’t come quick enough to give this flagging system a boast.

Heres hoping for a brighter future and more much need store content, in this new digital world.

Finally a worthy weekly update again, thanks!

* Half-Minute Hero Rating: PEGI 12

Availability: Only available in Australia and UK

WHAT !!!! Not in France ? Why ? Why ? Even the demo it’s in English, i want it in France, i want buy this game, today i’m very sad, you’re lucky that FF VIII is here……

Bouhouhou

Mike reassure me, Half Minute Hero, the entire game will be available on the french PSN for buying…

Woohoo! I see it on there! Downloading now! Thank you so much for FF8 <3

@wiiman07 Cool thanks for the info, will keep checking tonight then

Mike, I had posted another letter to Uncle Howard for you, but it looks like its got caught up in the moderation backlog

Final Fantasy VIII, Infamous add on, Bad Company 2 and AVP demo for me. Great update Mike! 5 stars

Heavy Rain demo will be out today or not?

FF8! Now when’s FF9 eh Mike? hahaha just kidding not that soon BTW, I heard you got Demon’s Souls. How far are you in the game? I finished World 4, and defeated 3 bosses in world 1, one in world 2 and one in world 5

Kebby you big beautiful son of a gun. I could kiss you for getting Final Fantasy VIII up before I have to go home to Dublin. Now I actually have something to do over there . Also the missus sends her thanks for giving her new powers on Infamous now if only she can kill people without feeling guilty and immediately reviving them.

yo mike

very nice update 2 great demos and ff8….epic

just sit back and enjoy this week every1 done a great job at SCEE this update. I HOPE THIS ISENT GUNNA BE LIKE A SUGAR RUSH!!!!! that would mean next weeks update will be low on energy and sleepy lol

Fantastic! been waiting for FFVIII for an age, time to get completely hooked on triple triad again!

Peggle?
Do you want to see a grown man cry?

Any sign of the cardboard tube samurai outfit for Yoshi that the american store has had for yonks?

I gave the update a 4(!) but if I had a pspgo it would be getting fail – sorry

Been a long time coming! Well worth the wait though!

Demos looking especially good too.
