‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 31st October

Now you know why Sony puts high prices on digital games its to make up for the loss of $189 million.one word might help you Sony…www.WONGA.com

Right people lets have a whip round for Sony.

Oh btw, there is a DLC coming out for Portal 2 and guess what, it’s coming out in the US next week but nothing for Europe. I guess Valve hates SCEE after all. =\

Hi please find in your heart to help Sony in these hard financial difficult times.please just £3 a month will help Sony make better games and buy coffee and biscuits for meetings.and help fix The ps store,with your help we can make Sony a number 1 company again.please just £3 a month,thank you

Thanks for clearing up the issue with CSGO. Oh wait….!

Hey Jawad,
Can you provide any info on vita titles missing from eu psn like Dokoro, Ragnanork odyssey and a release date for virtues last reward? Any info will be useful.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers!

If someone did this job instead it would be the same. That person who said that SCEA should replace SCEE in control of the store so it would be better, it won’t be better as SCEA would have to go through the same regulations as SCEE and they have the same problems what we have now. Sony American and Japan probably have a bigger budget than Sony Europe and Sony Europe probably don’t have the resources to compete. Sony isn’t in that healthy financial at the minute. They need to either make a universal store for next gen but I cannot see that is going to happen.

Email of complaint has been sent in, shall see if i get any anwsers.

I see jawad replied to 3 wwe comments on the same page thats 3/6 comments he made today yet completely ignored other peoples and all the complaints. Great Job.

So sony are only 189 million in debt ?, i thought it was much more, i mean That kind of figure, for a brand like sony surely cannot make much, if any difference, may be wrong (usually) but am sure i read that most every business, sony or bigger sized, would look on such a number and Still pop the champagne corks at their annual knee’s up, as well as keeping or increasing bonuses, think it’s just how things are in this climate, now am not comparing the two, but look at how much UK owes, or US and many others, just another day in the city, if those are the right figures.

But anyway, i wanted to ask about the theme some of us bought to help out the tsunami victims, as when i was browsing my downloaded list i came across it, but it only had £2 on, Should i ask questions ?, btw i bought a £5 one, just seems odd.

I’m still missing the right price Assassin’s Creed – Mediterranean Traveler Maps Pack on PSN.

When will this be fixed?

@Dante234

Jawad anwsers the same questions repeatedly. He replied to 3 people about WWE 13 on the same page. he only needed to give one decent answer and the other 2 could read that answer but he didn’t.

He could even Update the initial blog post with frequently asked questions such as this week,
WWE 13 – Mistake release now 7th
CS:GO – No Information
Spyro – No new information
etc etc

That doesn’t cost anything, and has nothing to do with budget.

Anybody else having Store hanging issues? I can’t buy Okami because it keeps failing on the password entry.

Or are we supposed to be boycotting the store until it works properly?

the store is probably hanging due to the masses of people downloading singstar now!!

What do you mean by hanging?

ok catkiller1 sorryyyyyy leave me alone il leave you alone end off or il get my ps3 and smash it up cuz ive had it with the ps store giving me errors and freezing if it keeps up il chuck my ps3 out the window

@CoolRichy008UK:
So smashing a PS3 over a buggy store isn’t going to solve anything.

Take it we’re not getting the ‘Move’ exclusive levels for Portal 2 and the 30% discount for PS+ next week? Total and complete silence now from SCEE on anything! Useless!

556 comments,16 replys,shocking jawad

@supersmith2500 im sorry ok i really try my hardest to behave and yes i slip up now and then but i dont mean it i just give up now i know what a jurk i have been if i cant thing of anything to say in future il keep my fat mouth shut.

anyone who gettin ps3 problems with

1 signing in
2 freinds list taking more then 5 10 mins to load up or
3 ps3 sign’s you out for no reason

email sony at help@uk.playstation.com

ok people so this crappy retro rampage your all banging on about, buy it from the us store problem solved the american store will always be superior to this one theres some amazing deals on us psn cards on ebay THAT IS ALL

@Voodoo341:
Yeah and if Valve doesn’t release them for Europe, I’m going to sell it since I got it for Steam anyways and there will be DLC for Steam with thanks to the Cross-Buy.

@CoolRichy:
Mine too, that or Hurricane Sandy must of affected the main SCE servers in the US that also affected SCEE and SCEA. I’m having trouble too and no don’t say it’s the hackers.

SCEE: The new PS Store is TERRIBLE. It’s just crashed on me 4 times in a row, every time during the PS Plus section. So thanks for making it difficult to get access to content I already own.

Sony have become a joke. Now, I LOVE my PS3, and I don’t mind buying DLC (unless it’s from Capcom, who have TOTALLY missed the point of DLC this gen… e.g. “Bought Street Fighter X Tekken? BUY SOME GEMS! Want extra character outfits? We’ve come up with the most confusing and pricey system for them imaginable! ENJOY!” uhhhh, NO THANKS CAPCOM)… anyway, yeah I don’t mind buying the odd bit of DLC. In fact I’ve spent, I’d say, thousands on games in the past few years, Yup, thousands.

So, when Sony make the Store three times more difficult to use, my reaction is to turn it off and just stick with what I’ve got.

So congrats, Sony. You’ve saved me money. Your fortunes, however, are probably about to get worse.

For the love of all that is good and holy, if you’re going to put out major updates like the PS Store facelift:

1) DO SOME RESEARCH FIRST. For example, find what is broken and fix it. It’s not a good idea to find what works and break it. THAT’S THE WRONG WAY ROUND YOU IDIOTS.

2) TEST IT THOROUGHLY BEFORE MAKING IT LIVE.

I’m sick of moaning but Sony just keep getting stuff SO wrong.

I seen someone use the word Boycott. Shame things like that would never work.

Immortal-Wolf–

if it is that sony will sort it out but they dont know what caused the psn to slow down ok when they know what did it they will sort & fix it ok

YOU BETTER READ Immortal-Wolf– POST SONY AND TAKE NOTE

what ever the error is on the psn that took me 3 hours to log in and over a hour for my freinds list to show up sony better fix it and improve the psn store with our feedback thats all im saying

sony ps3 is a good service but only when they get it right if they get it right

and it’s being over a month without fixing my sly raccoon problem!! and i don’t care anymore ill just stick with hard copy from now on.

Hey Jawad, working hard I guess?
Just had a little question. It looks I’m used as a Beta tester in a life environment (something I, as a IT Process Manager wouldn’t allow ever) it’s appropriate to compensate your testers. So what can we expect for all the trouble I’m having to get to the content I own and bought and the content I would like to buy.
Also I would love to hear when the Beta is over and we have a useful store, you know, like every other store out there in the world that has none of the problems Sony is having now and had for years.
You know why people like Steam or the I-Store and why products using that store are so successful?

Excuse me, when are the PS+ users getting new content and games? I thought beginning of every month we get new stuff. This is the first time we haven’t got anything.

I really want to buy more games off PSN but there is no way ill be doing that with the current prices.
$99.95 for ACIII standard, seriously.
My local Big W sells the Gold Edition for $68.
Yeah nice try Sony.

@You_Better_Hide: The PS Plus update is next week, November 7th. However, I think we’re getting more info on the other two games today.

@AshishSahoo (#556): Ragnarok and Dokuro have not yet been released for EU, but have release dates set for winter. Zero Escape is coming out sometime next year.

Another one here that can’t find the Online PAss and The ARnold Benedict DLC for his digita copy of Assassin’s Creed 3 GOLD edition.

I paid 100 euros for that game and I don’t have the Online Pass and Arnold Benedict dlc, while all the people that bought that game in a shop have them!!??

This is unacceptable, can we have some information about this problem?

We MUST have those content for free as any other person who bought the physical disc in a shop (and paid it less than the digital counterpart, which is already a reason to be angry)

“SCEA should replace SCEE in control of the store so it would be better, it won’t be better as [SCEA would have to go through the same regulations as SCEE]”

“They need to either make a universal store”

i highlight, MS go though the same regulations too but manage to do so well Sony cant not, as for universal store next gen it a MUST but here my prediction, universal store will come Next gen, but leave out Ps3 so the Ps3 will be without it 5 year for the asking of a U-store 6 year later it on the orbis (Ps4).

does this ring a bell ppl wanted cross game chat for Ps3 what did sony give us cross game party chat for the vita.

i predict there will be flame users from Ps3 users next year will continue.

Will we ever get a Discount on the game Catherine and a bunch of other games, Like update the special offers list and Price Drop list

You need to Fix the store or go back to the Old better store that tell Me i bought FF7 cloud LBP2 the New store is such a mess the Add-ons are mix together so it harder to find my bought stuff as the download list is slow to scroll down the list that way.

i haven’t got time to look though the download list now But 1 thing This is THEIF SCEE.

If anybody else bought NFS Most Wanted on Vita, feel free to add me as a friend!

Well, I just wanted to say that I’ve stopped using store completely and will not ever start it again. Deleted it. It causes hard freezes with database rebuilt. No game ever caused me that, but I’ve seen Skyrim doing this to other people’s PS3s. So, no more PS store for me, until I have a sound proof that it’s no longer malware.
Also, who thought making it an application like a game that spins your disk in blu-ray drive was a good idea. Fire that particular creature.
And give some update on Singstar icon. It’s really, really getting on my nerves.
Looks like it’s time to go full PC nexgen. I mean, your old store was a disgrace, now you don’t have a store at all (I’m not launching malware that causes hard freezes on my PS3).

@ chrisboers – Thanks, i was under the impression (and it always has been) that we get new stuff on the 1st of each month, like new content. Maybe they hold off for the unveiling of PS+ Vita (so long they don’t overcharge us as they have been for the latest games to come out)

Nothing this week as usual apart from one demo. More free stuff please. We plus pay for extra content.

Hello,

I have pre-ordered and regularly bought Assassin’s creed 3 GOLD edition on PSN, both both on-line Passport and Benedict ARnold dlc are still listed as NOT PURCHASED.

How can I have those contents that should be already being listed as something that I own?

Regards,
Dan

SONY FIX assasins creed 3 for people who bought it

fix the ps store so IT WORKS or go back to the old ps store layout and im not the worse moaner on this blog cuz other people moaning more then i am and if people dont like moaners on here either get used to it or dont read the comments
Right im done moaning for atlest 20 months now and anyone else who wants to moan at sony about the ps sotre go ahead and if anyone has ago at you moaning just ignore them its freedom of speech and you can moan all you like

& ye what Bumblebee said

1 DO THE DAM RESEARCH BEFORE PUTTIN A NEW PS STORE ONLINE THAT IS STILL BUGGY STILL FREEZING STILL CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR EVERYONE

2 I vote we all have the old ps store back because it was alot better before sony changed it without asking us for feedback 1st

I have a question if I may? I got the Assassin’s creed 3 special edition and I was wondering if the other dlc packs like the ghost of war etc be relesed on psn next wesnday

I don’t get it why people complain about the games they pre ordered on PSN like AC3.
Has there been any problems with full game releases before this game that where a mess because of the incompetent group of people working at Sony, yes! So why do you people, who have no idea what the value of money is, let yourself being ripped of by Sony, knowing you will get a bad experience? Go to a store, pay less and have a wonderful gaming experience.

As a sign of my frustration with the store and blog staff, And anger at the way we are treated and scammed I will be boycotting the store and convincing others to do the same until you show us the respect we deserve as your paying customers.

Examples being,
- Blog staff ignoring important or useful questions.
- Replying to the same questions, sometimes on the same page.
- Inability to provide us with information (TWD, CS:GO)
- Promoting content, then on release saying its delayed.
- Promoting deals that don’t work and don’t fix (Dead Island).
- Releasing Content, then announce a discount a week later (WWE13).
- 95% of the PS2 games are garbage, release good games.
- Charging ridiculous amounts for digital games.
- Charging more than the US Store, Content should be equally priced.
- Feel free to add more

I Think Sony needs to add the global store right away to calm every one down even me, if it easy to Add features due to this way the new store works say sony and promise of added features soon.

so were the hell is it, i hope you not delay the global store for the Next gen & not Ps3 are you sony?

there could easy add a global store on the old store buy added a new tab eg. Games – Video – interstore.

folks, go email spam them, they dont read or care about the forums, atleast by using emails more people will see it and eventually get fed up enough to actually ask whats actually going no rather than C+P responses o_O.
Surprised no one has made a genuine hack threat tbh, from what I can tell the first one was uncalled for.
“You’re not there, yoo’re getting drunk!” Dungeon master to Overly ambitious Fighter
Dont C+P this, do what I say then write your own thought provoking response >=/.
