Just a suggestion but why not get the store sorted before worrying about this blog? You ignore everyone on this anyway so at least a store that works would be helpful.

“It goes live in November, that’s all I’m saying!”
that is so vague, that the problem with SCEE lack of information lack of content & delays.
so we take it any day in november not this wednesday maybe next wednesda, anyhow time is running out you got 3 wednesday left in november.
but i give you a Tip of when plus go live keep a eye on the blog, especially the one talking of a vita firmware update since that adds vita plus support.
i shall take a guess a firmware update this week tonight tuesday morning night 3am, just in time for SCEA tueday store update.
we get our plus vita stuff on the wednesday.

There’s no delay at all. We’ve set a date when we’ll announce information and we’re going to stick to that – that’s standard practice in any entertainment medium. I’m not going to go and spill the beans early on a whim. Do you sneak downstairs on Christmas Eve and open your presents a day early?! Please be patient!

What about Portal 2 as a downloadable version with 30% off for Plus members – is that happening in the EU as well?

So what is going on with the three new pieces of Mugen Souls DLC but as well as that where did the BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND(PS3) DLC, Atelier Totori and Atelier Meruru music pack DLC go as all that is there for the two Atelier games are the characters?
No matter what I try I can’t find these which is frustrating, I have also noticed new DLC for some games doesn’t get added to its game’s list until about a week after the DLC’s release is that normal?

Fair point you made, no i don’t go down stairs & sneak open my gifts i just stay upstairs can’t rest, just eyes open be to excited to rest lol
but we talking about vita plus not xmas, & why this speculation caues unrest among the community when you decided to delay the plus vita support infor it not just this once, why is ppl getting angry when a certain content was release but it wasn’t, & ppl speculation that a certain content was comming but wasn’t but it did in the end.
im saying being upfront with us tell us what is it will stop the speculation.
example if i found infor about a certain content that be out for EU i would be here being upfront with the community with a link.
i never see ppl question me because the ppl know a content comming & of course when you announce something stick with it that the other reason we moan.

Mr D, I always blame our dog for tearing all the wrappings

Of course it’s SCEE’s right to keep their cards close to their chest for as long as they want, but you can’t blame us for trying to pry any info from you wherever possible, now can you?
It’s all a sports of cats and mice, but I guess we really have to be patient until tomorrow for the big reveal. I’m sure it’s going to be well worth the wait!
Posted on 12 November, 2012 at 3:37 pm by Fred Dutton
Heh, no I don’t blame you at all – it’s great to hear you’re excited about it. Not that I’d want to second-guess everyone’s response, but I think it should be worth the wait

* well there is another side to this setting a date in november without naming a date like 14th november but say just in november give you a Big comfort zone doesn’t stop the speculation though lol

@Fred
No we do not peak but there is one difference! We know when xmas day is! But with this we have no idea WHEN the announcement is (maybe Tuesday is not a day!) and WHEN it will be fully released! This is why we are loosing patience. I have been very patience the last few weeks but to find out no info today buy MAYBE Tuesday, it just pushed me over the edge a little. I will always support PS3/Vita/Plus but this is not making many people happy. I have delayed buying many items as I do not want to get ripped off!
Posted on 12 November, 2012 at 3:39 pm by Fred Dutton
Not long to wait, I promise. Providing meteors don’t fall out of the sky and wipe out SCEE HQ – or some similar cataclysmic event – you should have the info tomorrow.

A message to all who are in this blog putting nasty comments about Sony being fony and all this other stuff just stop being silly ok if your going to do that then do it somewhere else. To everyone in this blog who are commenting with swear words please stop being so ill-mannered and disrespectful because its nonsense and also to the people who are commenting back to me who are saying sony don’t have great customer support and all this other false accusations it’s wrong and to the person who commented by saying I was 12 this is false I am 15 and I am just speaking out and saying that this language is wrong and that these things you are making up are wrong too. Also I have seen how amazing a company sony is and for those of you who don’t like what I’m saying then well tough it’s not my problem.
Thank you for your time and Hi Fred

@Fred
That deserves a nice slow clap!
I hope you are ready for the tidal wave of unhappy people when you announce what we are getting! You know, some people can never be pleased. I am prepared to except that the list may have things on I already own (mainly because I support the Vita 101% and have pretty much got most games) but I am so excited!

Sony are alright they make good Hifi Tvs and others good stuff, if we are from the SCEA region we would say our content are Grrrreeeeeeeaaaaattt, but we are a region of waitingness we like to wait 5 years for content it took 5 years for all resident evil to our store, it took 5 years for all tome raider games even though it was MADE in britain.
how can ppl justify SCEE constant delays lack of services etc.
I’m glad I’m not a Sony fanboy for the lack of things.

Why you being so sarcastic to Fred for, I don’t see why your wing so silly and sarcastic for and I’m sure you didn’t have to say “a tidal of unhappy people coming your way.” I’m sure what he had announced will have some terrific news to follow you didn’t have to go over the hook ok I am just saying also yes Make.Believe

@declan_watson
Fair point, but it is true and goes back to the point you posted earlier. It is such a shame how much hate people put towards Sony and what makes me laugh the most is that the ones who put the most hate are Plus members!! You should read comments each week from Store Updates! It is a riot!
Only having a laugh with Fred and I got Take That’d!!
Should make a group supporting Sony!

Really don’t know why SCEE couldn’t have given a firm date months ago about when they were going to announce the PS+ content for the Vita. Why not just say we’ll be announcing it on the 14th of November 2012 rather than all this ‘ohh we said nothing yet… wink wink’ rubbish. SCEE must be the only company in the world without deadlines and targets. Good to know my PS+ payment is going to sub the content of a format I’ve no intention of buying.

@Voodoo341
and just how are you subsidising plus members that get vita content?
it has been said we get 3 ps3 games per month and that will continue and the vita content will be in addition to that so what exactly are you complaining for now?
im surprised you still have a ps3 with the contempt you seem to have for sony these days.

Ok mate I was just skeptic It did look like it was a little bit rude but if you said its a laugh then that’s ok and did you mean that I should start a group to support sony, I am actually a sony fanboy that’s why I hate people saying there not great because I can guard enter those who say they aren’t great that they are really I see what they make and it’s amazon customer an consumer support is really great too.

Do you sneak downstairs on Christmas Eve and open your presents a day early?!
No but we expext our presents on Christmas Day or Boxing Day at the latest , not delivered by th Easter Bunny
We need clarity less and less cloak and dagger, dont say coming soon , soon might be tomorrow or 6 months time , say something like hopefully next week or hopefully next months , and if you find out its not gonna hit that target let us know with something like “Due to licensing/technical/Localising issues we cant get it too store in the time stated and it may be another week/month etc”
Just keep us informed is all we ask

Hi everyone, this is like the 5th time I’ve posted this but its not appearing on the app so apologies if it shows up loads.
I’ve been sent 2 separate redeem codes for 30 day free trials of ps+ in the past 2 days. I have entered one code today and am just wondering if I can use the second code in December or if it will expire by then. If it’s going to expire then I might aswell pass it on.
Sorry if its a little off topic. Cheers.
