It says: Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ
Does it mean Polish users are able to download anything (at least free stuff) or again SCEE failed and (again) I have nothing from you?

You know we are perfectly capable to read comics in English, we don’t need translations, so why not cater for the rest of Europe, Paul?

Glad to see Leviathan and Raising Amy in the staff picks, those are two of my personal favourites aswell
It’s a shame Cancertown isn’t back on the store yet though as I assume that would of made the bestsellers list?
Congratulations on breaking the 2,500 comics mark by the way

Transformers: All Hail Megatron #1 was originally free, it was actually one of the sample comics that was given out before the Store actually went live this time last year, but IDW started charging for it awhile back and offered a different comic for free.

can we please get a comic book reader on ps3 please were i can read the comics and have my music running in the back ground. I really want digital versions of civil war,scott pilhgrim and many more but i just dont require a psp so you are alienating me as a customer as i’m not able to access and purchase your content on a platform of my choice.
If not now, please tell me you are working on this for the new year

@Ravenblade86
Thanks for the info…. I guess it doesn’t make much of a difference because the 5 people that took time to rate it only gave it a 2-star.

How is this celebrating something without the rest of your loyal customers SCEE!!!
How is that for alienating the rest of EU/Scandinavia. It is the year 2010 this just won’t cut it. This treatment is appalling.

The good old questions:
Release in Scandinavia/rest of EU?
Comics reader for PS3
And Crossregion gifting?

i still think this is one of the better psn services. Although it would be nice for the rest of EU to be able to enjoy it.
I’m sure the PS3 reader has been hinted at and almost thought this would be an announcement.

Funny… After my post about the Transformers: All Hail Megatron #1 FREE!) not being free, it has since been edited.
So I guess it means the good people of playstation blog read our comments but rarely bother to comment. A thank you would have been welcome you know.Not Nice

“readers of all hail megatron should be paid for enduring such a poorly written piece of trash.”
LMAO… im guessing you are one of the 5 people that gave it a 2-star rating.
Honestly, this is my first month on the PSN Blogs and all ive seen are very unhappy customers (my humble self included)I can go on and write a long comment on the way forward but to be honest, I think the people of Playstation Europe do not care about us, just cooperate individuals with suits looking to make a profit

“all of which are guaranteed to warm the cockles of even the most maniacal sociopath’s heart.”
isn’t it nice when you know somebody’s thinking of you at christmas.
anyway, some nice bundles there, might get one or two.
also another request for a ps3 reader, and in support of fellow europeans i’d like to say more countries please.
