US Store:

Hi Everyone – It’s time for the weekly PlayStation Store Update.

PlayStation Plus
Critter Crunch (Free to PlayStation Plus subscribers)

Syphon Filter (Free to PlayStation Plus subscribers)

Kahoots (Free to PlayStation Plus subscribers)

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (PlayStation Plus price $3.00, original price $5.99)

Super Street Fighter IV PSN Avatar Bundle ($4.99) (Exclusive to PlayStation Plus Subscribers)
*Includes 35 Super Street Fighter IV Avatars

Im sorry but SCEE need to pull their finger out.

Im going to the US store for plus. What an absolute disgrace.

Totally agree funkpower thats really sucks imo Gonna throw/unsubscribe my ps3/psn+ if we dont get the same content as US gets

Yeah US PS Plus update…EU ehmmm nothing…

And where is the street fighter avatars?

Thanks Mike for catching up on the missing RBN tracks!

Also, any word or the other Monkey Island games being revamped? Best games on PSN IMO!

Stll no street fighter avatars when u.s have 35 and also got new uc2 avatars too . Nice too see you guys still blatantly ignore people who are angry abt ps plus having a lot less than u.s . Poor effort won’t be buying nadda as long as this shambles keeps up

Earthworm Jim and the avatars for me. Sounds like a tribute act! lol.

May I be the first (probably) to thank you, Mike, for informing us re: 3.41 functioning. Good to know!

Sorry SCEE, but PS+ for Europe is only Epic Fail. You better do something better than this.

Hahahaha i think its funny how the PS plus in america is completely different and better than the Europe PLUS hahahaha. Why would i pay for extra things at the same price as the US and get less free stuff?????? Man better off getting the new xbox “slim”

Rayman 2 Finally a decent PSOne classic.

Also, generic PS+ comment

Thanks for the update Mikey.

nice update mike
will definately be getting earthworm jim hd and the new pain dlc.

any word mike when these premium themes (http://videostore.au.playstation.com/theme_listings.html) will pop up in the aussie store?

oh and anyword about EU PS+ improvements, asking because, as you would be aware the US got even more goodies this week. perhaps you could ask someone to give a formal update as to the state of EU PS+ and planned improvements?

Meh. Not that good update. Anyway, any chance more Capcom games reach the Portuguese store? I’d love to get my hands on Darkstalkers, SFA3 and especially the Classics Collections. Also, what’s the status in Disgaea 2 DLC? And any chance on additional locale releases for Badman 2 ?

No demo for earthworm jim?

oh and mike when is the next blog post from the PS+ team?

you might want to pass on that they need police protection for the next post after the [DELETED] appalling treatment =\ (not going off on you)

1 more thing do you know the price for infamoos full download next week?

Where is the PSN+ stuff we were supose to get every month? And why the hell is US Store getting stuff every week and not the EU store? I just wanna wait and see if our monthly PSN+ plus offers are as much as the US Store PSN+ offers other the same period. Mike, please tell me how I can can get a refund and pass this along to your superiors

Yeah we need more + content! Some trailer and DLC for me!
Will it update at normal time Mike?

The US got PS+ content. We did not. Will we get it next week? And US gets nothing next week?

Why the hell did I paid for PS+?? It’s a shame that Sony doesn’t respect customers from Europe… Any chance I can unsibscribe this failure??

jokes*

still no Machinarium =[ any news on when we’ll be seeing it?

Street Fighter avatars are here (35 of them!): -

http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2010/07/27/capcom_psn_avatar_tuesday

But not here on the inferior EUPSN… treated like second class citizens week in week out.

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE MIKE!?

No PSN+ content???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????-???????????????????????????????????????????????????

Rayman 2? Mike, you’re a golden glittering god

The plus stuff is kinda annoying, but it’s not your area, so I’ll leave it alone

Oh smeg nevermind never noticed it said “trail and unlock”

Nothing for me this week.

And I am starting to think what we are getting with Plus compared to the US is un-fair.
At this point even next weeks update still won’t compare to how much content they have received.

I am not aiming this at you directly Kebby, but SCEE do need to sorting out EU’s Plus system.

LOL, agree with number 2 SCEE REALLY need to pull their finger out with regards to Plus.

Previous link from post 20

gah, hurry up with the update. I need Earthworm Jim now Best update in ages just for bringing back 2D platform shooters (there really needs to be more on the store and not just old ones)

Another week, another abysmal update.

Still no Disgaea Infinite or Persona 3. Seriously guys, do you even give a damn about the PSP anymore? Or is it officially dead to you now? It’s 99.9999% dead to me, that’s for sure.

And when are you going to correct the ridiculous price on Peace Walker? The PSN price is DOUBLE what it costs for the physical disc on Amazon. It just boggles the mind how you don’t seem to care about that. It’s no wonder the app store is completely demolishing you.

If you sunscribe to PSN+ or First Play you should watch thie

Again, nothing for me.
Meh…

Try this instead…

I’m amazed at how many companies put games in the store with zero marketing, Premier Manager publishers I’m looking at you.

Premier Manager is £13.99 not even a screenshot which make me think it’s a huge pile of the brown stuff.

SCEE havent a clue. PLUS is only good for Americans and people who dont buy stuff off the PSN store that much. Which includes me but im still not going to get PLUS just pathetic. It would be worth it if SCEE AND SCEA got the same content at the same time………actually the list is too long PLUS sucks END OF

Has anyone said …

Groovy!

…yet?

Any chance of spyro ps1 games anytime soon
. Also I was looking at ps+ last night but there’s a lot of angry and unhappy users so I’ll be passing on that .

Wow…slim pickings today. Regardless, Earthworm Jim HD for me!

Mike, any idea when Secret Agent Clank will be added to the Essentials list for psp?
I remember reading that it is one of the games in the line-up.

US got every Week Plus Updates and we got only 1 per Month with less Content? You know about the difference, do something about it! This is rediculous!

The US Users got three times more Content as we in the same Time!

If i know that before i would not subscribe Plus again. I can only warn every People.

I´m going for an US Plus+.

Favouritism & disparity breeds contempt, it’s very plain to see that week in week out that SCEE is the poor relative to both SCEA & SCEJ. When will SCEE wake up & bring their business model in line with other SONY territories?
I cringe to read the “Head’s Up” game store updates & feel frankly embarrassed for the Playstation Store Team, who have to put a positive spin on inferior content on a weekly basis…
What will it take to make SCEE change their lacklustre attitude towards it jaded but loyal fanbase, the PSN store is being run into the ground with what looks like little or no hope of change. Where are the PSN exclusives? indie titles? timed released exclusives? Demo’s for ever game? Video’s for every game? the list could go on…
I for one always vote with my wallet, so until there is a great shift in improvement to all services related to PSN/PSN+, I will be firmly voting no to all future PSN purchases. why is it that customers still remain to be so frustrated for so long?
I await you response.
p.s please do not repsond to this comment with the obligatory “I’ll pass your comments onto the relevant people”, treat you customer base with more repect than that.

Rayman 2 I was just about to buy it on eBay a week ago, glad I waited. Now I just need a €50 PSN card for Earthworm Jim HD, Rayman 2, my resubscription to FirstPlay and a bit left over for anything else that catches my eye.

By the way, where’s the Store logo gone from the top of the post?

So the PS+ users have been stiched up in the UK/Eur then? The US has FAR more stuff. We were told they had the same sort of content but were spreading the releases over the weeks, which would have been fine… Problem is, they have more and get updates each week.

SCEE, Mike, whoever – can you please clear this situation up? You really are doing no favours for the service in Europe. I can’t imagine you’ll get many renewals if this continues with no feedback.

Mike,
is inFamous coming to the store?

Hmm let’s check out this week’s update then and-

Singstar Avatars

YES.

I have found some info hidden away in SCEE game pages (might be an idea to link game to the site?).

http://uk.playstation.com/psn/games/detail/item294423/Premier-Manager/

Be warned it has the worlds darkest video !

Brick breaker – another arkanoid type game? hopefully – i can’t get enough of ‘em!
I’ll try the Earthworm Jim trial too as i liked the humour of the cartoon.

@ MIKE

Really looking forward to the War For Cybertron DLC. BUT… the game (and many others online) are ruined by people screaming abuse or making otherwise unpleasant noises down their headsets. Who should I talk to to suggest a global headset mute option? Frankly I don’t want to listen to ANY other users, and I’m not buying a headset just to drown them out.

Oh, and… when’s the store going live today?

All the best.

I signed up for + day 1 and i was happy with whats on offer as i thought all regions would be almost the same but every week of seeing the US get more and more stuff its starting to really get sickening.Iwonder how much more their stuff has been worth compared to ours. Not good sony,not good.

Any news on….

Ace Combat for the PSP coming to the store?
Alien Breed Evo for the PS3 coming to the store? (I was in contact with the devs – Team 17 – and I was told ages ago that this was ready for the store, but its never appeared!)

Cheers Mike!

RARRRR I’M SO ANGRY RARRRR

/just wants to fit in around here

Why does the US get more frequent ps+ updates this is some f****** b*******.. We are paying the same but not being treated equal.

I mean..

Not the same content
No Videostore
No Comicstore
No Video game episodes first play/qore

These are just some examples how is this fair to you in your eyes SCEE.
