scee has been very bad at giving feedback in the comments this week. It is sad, since there were a lot of concerns. Heads Up post was as bad as SCEA’s Store update when it comes to comments.
The community people at SCEE is the only part that is better than SCEA.

It has been a busy week for a lot of people and bear in mind that I am the only person that works on this blog full-time. Everyone else does it on top of their workload and some weeks we are very short on free time.

Any word on Ross’ PS1 classic list or is the legal department still picking it apart.
Posted on 19 February, 2011 at 2:00 pm by James Gallagher
It is happening as far as I’m aware, and from what I hear it will be worth waiting for. Legal are fine, it’s more a case that this blog has to be completely accurate for it to be worth anything so it’s better to hold off until all relevant boxes have been ticked.

MASS EFFECT 2 PATCH PLEASE! Where the heck is it? BioWare says they gave it to you 3 weeks ago?
I know, I hate caps too but guys it’s been a month since release and I don’t want to play because of corrupted save so the game is jsut sitting there…(and as it is memory related, there is a very high chance it will happen unless I remember to stop playing every 2 hours which is no fun with that on my mind).
So please guys, Mass Effect 2 Patch!!

I was a little disappointed that the ‘Final Fantasy’ that came to the PS Store was the 20th Anniversary Edition which is PSP Only, instead of the Origins version that is PS3/PSP, which they have over in the Japanese store.
Is there any chance that we may get the Origins version in Europe at any point, or is this to be the only FFI/FFII release?

An ok week, the only interesting thing for me was the Doudecoum Legacy Edition info, I went and pre-ordered it straight away.
Speaking of that game, when is the demo coming out?
Oh and I plan on getting “Final Fantasy” when i get Doudecium, it comes with a voucher for 50% off

Thanks for the response. Will the list be this week or next week?
Posted on 21 February, 2011 at 9:54 am by James Gallagher
We’re not sure. If I were to say this week then, knowing my luck, something catastrophic would happen to delay it and you’d all be calling me out!

I have a suggestion for a new post that’ll come out every week..
Stats post. Top 10 played games on PSN that week, top 10 downloaded and other numbers for anything really.. Think it’d be really interesting.

Unlike some other people on this site I would never call you out on it. I understand things can get delayed.
You could say it is possible it will appear this week. It is not confirmation or a denial. I do this all the time. XD

how about hire more dedicated people, who can be more on this blog to keep the people updated?
i bet there are tons of people, who want to be a part of the community, to keep everyone happy and updated.

i do hope xenogears is the 1st SCEA title to won the race which SCEA title to show up 1st on our stores.

@Skookie30
We certainly won’t be getting it first, the US Store will get Xenogears tomorrow, so even if – by some miracle – we also get it this week, we’ll still be getting it a day later. The chances are it’ll take weeks to release here, we always get the short end of the stick at the best of times and Xenogears was only originally released in the US and Japan anyway, we never had it. So yup, chances are we’re gunna be shafted.

Posted on 21 February, 2011 at 4:34 pm by Skookie30
No i was meaning which 1st SCEA title to Hit our stores that was Not ever release here in EU so it maybe wild arms will be 1st i would like it to be this week.
& thow in xenogears as well you will get 1 less critic this week

Posted on 21 February, 2011 at 4:56 pm by DeadnBuried
Ohhh haha, yeah that makes sense, sorry. Well I’ve certainly got my fingers crossed! If not then I’ll find a way to buy it from the US store, there’s no way I’m NOT going to play Xenogears.

i got no credit card or debit card to buy a SCEA psn card a freind of mine cant use his debit card not the 24 kour lock-out other ppl are effected he told me sony to blame.
it will be a criminal not to release it over here SEE & SCEE wont have favours if they Dont.
