Heavy Rain Demo gameplay for those interested, yepp, we
had the thing ages ago

New page? Well, then I might want to re-post what I just said:

“Still my question about when Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement will be available remains. Mike, can you answer this question?”

@RemyX-1988
I also bought a PSN card just for Vandal Hearts, back in October but it didn’t get released 31.10. And now it’s out but for some reason not on the EU PSN.

Would be nice if we at least could get a date we could wait for.

@MobileTone: Heavy Rain is one of the year most importaint adult game. Gamereactor gave it a 9 of 10…cant wait!!

@Wecki09,

I just called Sony Netherlands and they can’t give me a date, because they don’t have one. So sucky… I want that game!

hey mike, and word when Dragon Age Origins: Return to Ostagar DLC will hit the store?

hey mike
do you know when/ if the Spyro PS1 games will come to the store?
ad when Final fantasy crisis core and dissida comes?
but great update with final fantasy 8

Hi Mike,

Just so you don’t get the wrong idea, I am happy FFVIII is on the Australian store. Let’s party!!!!

With all that aside however, are there any plans to put desirable titles on Special? I would really love to purchase Tekken 6 or Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny but there are two problems:
1) I am not an idiot
2) I won’t pay $60 for a game that I can find for up to $20 less on UMD
Specials are starting to either repeat (Ape Quest, Buzz:Brain Bender) or be for games not many people give two figs about (Disney PSone classics)

Now! When is FFIX showing up on the store?

Regards,

Dutch

AvP demo – downloaded at 1pm this afternoon and I haven’t been able to connect to a single game. I’ve been trying on and off for SEVEN HOURS!!!

@Dutch_Rootsman I agree with you, about the selection of “Specials”. No interesting game for weeks…

I think Minis are over priced as a whole tbh. The idea is that tey’re meant to be simple little games but some of them are coming at the same price as PSPne Classics.

And on a side-note; This AvP demo problem needs fixing! Hope we can have an update on the issue tomorrow.

@stripelord I would agree with that I also cannot connect to AvP either. I’ve tried both the PS3 and PC demos and cannot get nowhere.

Have you tried to add friends and play or just add yourself to a game?

hey, nice update, just to let you know that a lot of people are experiencing connection problems with the avp demo – it takes ages to search for games. Might need to be looked into before people are put off xD

Awsome update! I can finnaly buy FF8 to play on the psp =). Didn’t have the opportunity to finish it on the ps1 cause the cd’s are heavily damaged :s lol. Will also download BF demo =). Thanks Sony =D

Too bad the ORIGINAL DISC-BASED VERSION of Final Fantasy VIII I own doesn’t work on the PS3. It keeps getting stuck on a black screen after the PS-logo. And no, it’s not my disc. All my friends experience the same problem!

Sony… please work on this.
I don’t want to pay double for the same game…

Just a quick one Mike, and sorry if it’s been asked before;

Is the Kingdom Hearts series going to be on its way to the store anytime soon? (Please know I’m not expecting a date!)

Thanks!

Just had an amazing couple of hours on Bad Company 2…
Anyone from the old threespeech crowd know if ‘fanpages’ is on here? Only because I found myself in a squad with him and recognised the name!
Cheers
ps. Anyone else struggling to get into a game on Alien vs Predator?

You know I think its about time for the Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack to come out now.
But either way thanks for the info Mike

May as well give up on on PS1 classics if you don’t like JPRGs and you don’t like overpriced games trying to extort using popularity.

Months of nothing…and a JPRG at a price costing more (over double) than other PS1 classics.

Then Months of nothing again…and a JPRG at a price costing more (over double) than other PS1 classics.

Maybe a JPRG or two in between them, at an inflated price (though not quite double).

Mean while the US store gets these same games but also get all the Tomb Raiders, Resident Evils, Silent Hill and countless others.

WOOP! Final Fantasy VIII! ^_^
…
Wait… now there’s nothing to shout at Mike about…

GIVE US FINAL FANTASY IX! xD

This is quite awesome ^.^

Great to see FFVIII getting some well deserved attention. Oh, a question though, does Square Enix earn any of the money for the sales or..?

Hi Mike,

That Half Minute Hero demo is brilliant, can’t wait for the full release. Couple of mini’s questions for you

1) When is This is Football Management coming back on store? It was released a few weeks ago but then disappeared, I guess it had some bugs or something.
2) Will there be a UK release for the Sudoko/Kakuro one that was released in Germany? I love a bit of Kakuro!

Cheers

wow no dj hero content again!!

time to trade it in and get something worth the money spent!!

Holy god, thnx Mike, FFVIII is on the store. I love this update. Keep up the good work.

@261, yeah both those games are a joke price on the PSN. If you do get one, go with Tekken. I’ve always been Soul Calibur > Tekken but the PSP version of SC is just broken. The controls don’t work well and there’s no meat to it at all. Tekken is a fairly ‘lite’ game too, but at least it plays like the real thing.

About the AvP demo: Rebellion have taken note of the problems though whilst they’ve already fixed it on PC they seem tobe still working on a PS3 fix:

“Unprecedented demand for Aliens vs. Predator following the release of the cross-platform demo yesterday morning brought to light matchmaking issues on the PC platform resulting in players having to wait to join games, or even not find games at all.

We’re pleased to say later in the day the issue was corrected and a small patch to the PC executable next time you launch it from Steam will have you finding and playing games using Quick Match as it was intended.

While this issue did not affect the Xbox 360, we are, with SEGA’s assistance investigating reports of a similar nature on the PlayStation 3 and working flat out on a solution.”

thank you!!!! FF VIII

only hoping for Soul Edge now

Good work Mike can you till us when you will be getting Alundra for the PS store which was a fantastic PS1 game Japan and China have had that game for a very long time now…

Tried BC2, spent 2 days downloading, Install Error at 14%

It’s a slow clap for Sony and EA, and a very happy PS2 which is now keeping me happy for over 5 years, while my PS3 sits there wheezing sickly in the corner as I just figure out which shells to use to shoot the ****er: 12 Gauge or Buck?

Your thoughts? I’m thinking 12 Gauge. A good sized hole in it wouldn’t make a difference anyway.

So, where is Football Manager 2010 PSP for Norway? Been waiting for it for ages. Weird since all other countries seem to have got it

And where is the comic store for Norway? Can’t you just give us the same one as UK? we are not picky and don’t need any stinking translations. or at least some way for my dummy UK account to gift buyings to my account?

Hey Mike – I got Uno in the sale, very excited. But when I try to patch it says “an error occurred during the download operation” immediately. Pretty annoying since I need to patch to use the online side, any ideas?

can someone on playstation please fix the AVP demo because some of us cant play the demo it just stays on the searching for a game screen and wont find a match i really wanted to play this demo

i know they are trying to work on fixing it but can we get a time or date when it will be fixed?

mike the snakeballs download is not working ! i tried purchasing through the special offers section and i didnt get a down link.
though the snakeball icon has the purshase icon over it in special offers section, it seems not to have it if i browse to the game through the ps3 downloads ! :S and it still says its 9.99 $ over there any idea ?

Hey Mike..

What happened to Vagrant Story on the NZ Store?

A reply would be much appreciated.

So, when are we getting Castlevania: Symphony of the Night?!

hey mike

is there a way i can copy my psp games ive downloaded off the playstation store onto my laptop, because i tried last time and it said about copyright

i wanted to put them on there because i didnt have enough space for other games and so that i didnt have to download it again

i wish heavy rain demo was out now cos it looks so cool especially the combat!

Can anyone else here actually get a game on Aliens v predator???

Mine just stays on finding game…forever

Not had one game yet and i am very dissapointed, i have tried in the daytime, night time and silly o clock in the morning all with the same result.

As a big fan from the days of tail whipping on the pc i was excited to see the demo come onto PS3…only to be let down

Great news about the AVP demo, Mike.
Would it be too much to ask for a small news snippet to inform more people about this on the page ?
I’d hate to be the only one playing the demo online

hey mike when will the spyro games be released on psn i have been waiting for ages??? please reply…..
