‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 14th November 2012

I managed to purchase Tekken Tag Tournament 2 with Snoop Dogg DLC for £18.65 after using some credit with Shopto.net. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 & my Midway Arcade Origins for only £13.85 have now been dispatched

Judging by past experiences with them, I should receive both tomorrow

Alien Breed for me! – just as soon as PSM rolls out in Ireland that is.. :/

Hi Jawad,
are there any news about the fourth Eternity Shards DLC for Dungeon Defenders? It came to the US store approx. 2 months ago but it still isn’t on the EU store.
Thanks in advance.

@ Jawad:

Hi Jawz, sorry if I’m later than usual today. I hope it’s not too late to get a response!

But, alas, my question is something that by now rhymes with my nickname: what about Spyro? Last week you said that there are a few issues that need to be fixed, but… can you be more specific? Maybe a level doesn’t load? Or *chuckles* the QA guys can’t get past the game’s own anti-piracy system? (That’d be hella ironic… sorry.) Whatever the reason, can you share what you know?

Also, I posted a “help us SCEA” on the US blog. So my question is, given the NA store’s way bigger selection of PSOne Classics… are they assisting SCEE in any way?

Thanks in advance for any possible answer.

@ Jawad (P.S.):

My anti-piracy joke is a reference to, of course, the third game in the trilogy (Spyro: Year Of The Dragon).

Yep, my previous comment was written in a hurry. With the second question, what I really meant was “I posted a ‘help us SCEA’ comment on the US blog”.

Shame the Spyro games are taking so long, hopefully whatever problem you guys are facing will be sorted eventually though, it would be most excellent to have all three on my Vita.

Also, what is happening with Symphony of the Night, Konami said it was coming a few weeks ago for like £7.99 and then you guys said it wasn’t, and there hasn’t really been any updates on that yet, would have really liked to have it by now.

I think the only thing I will be getting this week is the NFS Most Wanted Demo, here’s hoping for a few more exciting releases in the run up to Christmas.

Wait, has CS GO not released yet? I’ve seen my friend playing it up untill Black ops 2 arrived. Oo
Anyway, nothing for me this week but I still got a list and there have been plenty of great releases these last months. Still gotta get Okami first and foremost :p Trying to hold out for a pricecut

Thanks for the reply Jawad, I’ll look forward to Tekken then :3

And amongst the “AAA” crap there are a couple of diamonds, Portal 2 and Sleeping Dogs DLC!

At least third party companies are still making interesting, more mature content, even if Sony is trying to remarket the PS3 as a crappy nintendo kiddy machine! I swear one more spammy email about Wonderbook or that crappy Smash Bros clone and I’ll be moving to XBL as the only decent exclusive on the horizon is The Last of Us!

Hi Jawad,

I asked this last week, but is there any chance of removing the minimum £5 top up on the PSN store?

Nintendo let you pay just the required amount for dlc etc on the 3DS…

Be great if Sony would do this??
———————

I agree it would be nice, but Nintendo also force you to pay a minimum of £5 to buy off the 3DS store. In fact, you have to buy in multiples of £5. At least on the PSN store, when you are paying over £5, it’s the precise price.

I know this as I still have a useless £2.24 credit on the 3DS store from buying two things for £7.76 and having to put £10 credit on to cover it. I’ve recently tried buying something for £3.50, but still have to put £5 on it. So I don’t know where you get that it’s not like that on the 3DS?

Just wanted to point out that Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP) doesn’t actually show up under the PSP Games > M-L category on Vita but it does show up via search, why is this, it’s available to play?

@ Furiekins

I also agree as it’s slightly annoying.

A handful of times it has let me pay the desired amount instead of adding a minimum £5 regardless.

Only thing even remotely interesting is the MW demo, to echo those on another post, will there be a Vita demo?

Apart from that, all I want is CS:GO.

Also, the new store is terrible. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

Why is there no demo for the Vita version of Need For Speed Most Wanted? I’m interested in the game, but I’m not going to buy it without playing a demo first..

I also just seen that the US were given the option to download the Singstar installer from the Store and weren’t subject to it being stuffed under their nose like we were and was wondering is there any progress on the option of removal for us lab-rats?

No “new” news for CS:GO? You’ve never shared any kind of news, not in the slightest. I don’t understand all the secrecy to be honest, can’t you at least confirm if there is any activity to try and bring it to the store, or if that’s never gonna happen? I don’t want much, just a sign that it actually is on your radar, or not. If it’s never coming, then just say so, it will save us from hoping week by week to see it up on the store. Cheers.

@ JAWAD

You must have missed a previous post but please can you help.

Gundemonium Collection & the individual titles that are included within that collection: Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne & Hitogata Happa, are missing from the store also. Please can you look into this?

Kind Regards

I’m not impress with today store update we didn’t get any ps1 & ps2 classisc for a while why?

Oh we’ll you save me money, I shall try again next week eh.

Worst update in a long time, nothing worthwhile at all :/

Very bad update for ps+….

Yay Studio avatars, and have they (The Studio) been given permission to make music visualisation yet?
Please answer, as I have not asked this for some time.

Fantastic Four table will also be downloaded.

Modnation racers i downloaded the FULL game for free with ps plus, not the trial, the full thing, but it has a orange logo next to it… what is this? Thanks

122 the game you downloaded was not free but ps+ members can download a 60 min trial if you want full game it costs

Please get Portal 2 on PSN soon and with a PS+ discount like in the US

124 i know you can, when you go to download it you shows Full Game or Full Game Trial, both are free. not heard anything about the actual game being free so just was just making sure on what ive just downloaded :L

@87.thank you think I’ll just ask you if I have questions cause Jawad ignores me every week.

Seriously sony! Black ops costs $70 dollars on psn or i can get it for $55 at dick smith. What happened tp psn being cheaper than cartridge? I can save fifteen dollars up front and then if sell it (which is my right whether you like it or not) I can get twenty dollars as well. In other words HALF THE PRICE. Please grow some brains or it will be a cold day in hell the next time I buy an A+ title in digital form.

And we back to stupid the Studio avatars,whats wrong with getting us little big planet karting or black ops 2 avatars.ohh and your heads up gets later every week 3:20pm.what happened to 3pm one

Hi Jawad
Any news on the release of Tomba on the vita in EU?
Best regards

What a lousy store update this week, especially for ps+ users. Disgraceful about retro city rampage, should have been out ages ago. Sort it out please.

So, Jawad…

Again, I’m not normally one to complain, but would you kindly explain why we Euro players are stuck with that revolting SingStar icon on our Games section, while the ‘Murican customers get to choose whether to download it or not from the store without an INVASIVE, UGLY, REPULSIVE-LOOKING icon stinking up their XMB?

I’m sorry, but I’m tired of the EU audience being treated as the guinea pigs on which to ‘test’ things before they debut in America. Either saddle them with the same repulsive icon we got, or delete that icon and let *us* decide whether to download it off the Store or not, like the US people do.

And I’m still (CENSORED) for last week’s debacle with the Mugen Souls DLC. Again. I’ve been patient for the last two years, rationalizing your mistakes as attempts to innovate, but seeing how you’re all blatantly ignoring the overwhelming negative feedback you’re getting about various things, I feel it’s time to take the kid gloves off. After all, unruly kids need to be disciplined.

I’m hoping you’ll take these few words to heart. I’d hate it if you kept going down this slippery slope with no bottom in sight you’re on.

Regards,
–GH

Give us a option to deleted singstar like you have with the USA,if I have to see them two prats with sunglasses pretending to sing,I swear I’m gonna come to SCEE offices and stand next to you with a singstar mic and do the same pose infront of you see how you like it.

Also your prices are too damn high. Vita black ops is $20 cheaper for physical copy, not to mention need for speed is more expensive through you guys. I think you guys are ripping us off here. Your price conversion sucks, who ever prices this crap should be taken out back and shot.

Any chance of an Older version of Fifa to become free on Ps Plus?.

I want to ask an important question here:
Can you make it possible for us to download ps vita games and demo’s with media go? Because in the week i’m at school (i also sleep there), but i don’t have access to a wireless network, only one where you have to log on on a site before you can use it, but the ps vita can’t load that site, so i always have to wait till the weekend to download demo’s and games. But next week i get 2 games of ps+ that i really want to play, and i don’t really want to wait till the weekend before i can download and play them. Please respond

Oh, and by the way? The Mugen Souls costume DLC for Fyuria, Noire and Vert that was SUPPOSED to be on the Store last week STILL is nowhere to be seen. Just… what… are… you… DOING? I can’t recognize you all anymore. And the new store makes it ridiculously hard to FIND the stuff I’m looking for, especially for older games. I really recommend taking it down and fixing its messy interface, because right now it’s the poor, little, deformed brother of Steam that everyone points at and laughs.

Hi Jawad!

I know it’s not in the store update you posted, but shouldn’t there be a bundle with all the Tekken Tag 2 movies released today (4+5+6)?
I’m asking this because there was one for 1+2+3+tag (it was called “bonus movies pack A” if I’m not mistaken) and another two bundles for the bonus tracks.

@jawad

great 2 see you guys are just making a mockery out off yourself.
constant lies never any content 2 show are you guys even working in the gaming industry cause i haven’t seen any good games released new or classic.
no new app like the youtube app U.S got some time ago.
only thing we ever see from you guys are fake promesis off improvement like Freds we will see improvment inabout 2 month and while the 2 months are almost over we have only seen more content missing nothing new being added. and the most horrible customer service.
SCEE should be ashamed off itself 2 bad sony fanboys are 2 stupid 2 see all the faults, sony promotes failure just look at Andrew House SCEE is the most horrible region yet he get’s promoted with failure.

If you look at the pricing, it’s all down to the publisher. Activision and EA games are a stupid price, but Sony first party software and Sega’s are lower than high street retail (on release).

Sega and Sonic Racing 2 shows this at £29.99 which is equivalent/close to most online retailer’s pricing and will be cheaper than high street prices.

A note for any Zen pinballers out there looking for more tables go to the marvel pinball game on the store, You can get the Marvel vengeance and virtue pack of 4 tables for £6.29 instead of £7.99 – just import the tables to zen pinball 2 and away you go. The pack includes ghost rider,x-men,Thor And moon knight tables.
I just bought today and importing now to play on my Vita.
Boomshakalaka!

Hi Jawad and Fred, I have one question about Assassin’s Creed.
The Assassin’s Creed® Complete Pack contains: Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations and all dlc from this games?

Thanks!

Jawad,

There is a severe problem with the digital version of Uncharted 2, I can confirm to you that the issue exists across all PS Store regions.

The two DLC map packs are simply not compatible with the digital version. We tried to speak out to Sony by e-mail, and also noiced out the issue here in the technical PSN forum but there is literally nothing promising, we get replies like, delete game data and such, but no, the problem exists in the digital copy itself, it is just a faulty version.

Please Jawad voice this to everyone in your offices, the thread I made a while ago about the issue is still active, you can find all the details in there http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network-Technical/Uncharted-2-DLC-not-compatible-with-the-digital-version-of-the/td-p/17253556 thank you.

Sorry, here is the correct adress http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network-Technical/Uncharted-2-DLC-not-compatible-with-the-digital-version-of-the/td-p/17253556

http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network-Technical/Uncharted-2-DLC-not-compatible-with-the-digital-version-of-the/td-p/17253556 This is the correct adress

JAWAD why you never answer the question

Why is there No Trailers for the new dynamic Themes ?

Do you expect us to buy them without knowing what we are going to get

I’m really sorry it doesn’t seem to allow me to post the entire adress, but it is right there in the community forums, PSN technical section.

@GenocideHeart
cause we were the test subject for the new store and other horrible things like the icon. and as we all know by now sony sees us as 3rd rate not important 2 reply 2 or give any content. and with SCEE you won’t get a honest reply just some vague excuse.

@annevandam

NFS MW for the Vita is amazing. Get it, you will not regret it, especially if you don’t have the console version.

The full game trials for PS+ is a big joke , only 37 for the about last 2 months while the US store has now over a 100.

get your straight up and keep the DLC as planned god (CENSORED), if you listed Mugen Soul DLC from last week, then it should be there ffs… even the new PSN is utterly garbage.
