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

Hi Jawad I have a question for you, I have a Sony Xperia Go and I wonder, when will Holland get PS Mobile and is it compatible with the GO serie?

Thank you Catkiller

for bringing it to his attention as I have asked for 3 weeks in a row only to have it ignored

now as he will respond to you maybe you can ask him (please) if we add the vita plus items to our ps3 download list can we download them at a later date to a vita

dont trouble yourself for a answer jawad

ill email disruptive publishers myself get a answer from them, but i know what the problem will be when they do reply,.

Jawad, I’m sure you are a smart, logical person so you must see too that the pricing for digital games is ridiculous. How come you guys haven’t taken this up with the publishers yet?

I mean, they must be interested in our feedback when they try to sell us their games. It just doesn’t make any sense. It is as if they try not to sell digital content. Unless they think that having a game in digital form is some sort of an advantage that should come at a higher price.

SCEE are simply incompetent. Missing content. Overpriced content. Delayed content.

With the new look store that’s become a nightmare to navigate and a search which is useless (can’t even find the new Portal 2 DLC with it), that’s the last straw for me.

Everything used to be grouped under games/add-ons and all the latest stuff was so easy to find. Now it’s an unusable mess of icons.

I’m just sorry i’ve sunk $1000s into my PS3 with games and DLC and should have gone with an XBOX instead. At least i’d get better support and backwards compatibility.

@Catkiller1
Can I ask what is the origin of your nickname?

hey Jawad, remember my question from last week? i asked about the “missing” DLC for Soul Calibur V… well i’ve found them! however, they’re under the main section with all addons for all games. you know, scattered through 7000+ entries! These are the music packs i was looking for:

Original music from Soul Blade (1.99)
Original music from Soul Calibur (1.99)
Original music from Soul Calibur II (1.99)
Original music from Soul Calibur III (1.99)
Original music from Soul Calibur IV (1.99)

i’ve also found other DLC bundles scattered through the main DLC pages (again, prices are in Euros, names are roughly translated from Italian, sorry):

- Triple sexy costumes set (4.99) with the two Sexy costumes and the Maid costumes
- Triple modern outfits set (3.99) with the firefighter costume etc.
- Triple head accessories set (3.99) various headgear
- Triple personalization set (3.99) with the military camo etc.
- Super armors set (6.99) with the ancient armors etc.
- Tekken costumes and miscellaneous set (3.99) with the two Tekken addons and Klonoa/Pacman/etc. stuff, i’ve already talked about that in the previous post

can you please add these entries to the main game page? there should be already 40 addons as i speak. it’s a pain in the (CENSORED) trying to buying all of them. you have to scroll a LOT.

ps: all this applies to the ITALIAN store, dunno about the others.

please ignore the “i’ve already talked about that in the previous post” part from post #157, lol. i’ve failed at copy&paste from a different site.

I know this may not be the place to post this so apologies .
Yesterday there was a post about new movies being available inc the amazing spiderman. It stated that it would be available to rent but in the store it is only available to purchase. Was the original post incorrect or is this another mistake ? I did ask on the original post but didnt receive a response.
Thanks in advance.

“We’re hoping to have the developer on our blogs soon to provide some insight on the wait.”

they actually provided this weeks ago, but it’s been in QA ever since.
or just lost, much the same thing at scee.

How long are you lot at SCEE going to keep towing the line that you have no information regarding CS:GO? This total lack of information is pathetic to put it bluntly. Tell you what, why dont you get the developers of the game on here to explqin the situation, seeing as the staff at SCEE dont have that ability.

Any chance of a sale on the Gravity Rush DLC to tie in with the PS Plus thing?

thank you Jawad for responding

Right no reply to my singstar icon question,where is SCEE HQ based I’m coming though with my sunglasses and singstar mic posers and everything.

Hi Jawad, thanks for the update.

Some of us Plus subscribers & Vita owners are upset that we are only getting 4 games in the Instant Game Collection instead of 6 like the US.

Is the European Plus team aware of this? I’m asking since they stopped answering on yesterday’s Plus post.

Thank you!

Also no answer to my question. Untill now, i was always very happy with the service Sony gave us, but now they kinda let me down

@jawad – US PSN got playsation all stars battle royale for preorder yesterday and we get nothing. The game releases next week. What’s the problem?

what would be the chances of getting the ps2 final fantasy games on the ps store i got all the ps1 ones now i want the ps2 ones specially x

I was hoping for PSASBR pre order on the store.Got the money ready for the game this week,but wont next week.Because I don’t know the store price (39.99-49.99) I wont be putting money up now.

is CSGO a Valve problem? seems like we have been waiting way to long.

@Jawad,
Your comments about RCR are:
SCEE is waiting from devs feedback/info
=> Meaning for you the game is not yet finished

The comment from RCR devs :
Game is finished for months, and was sent to Sony validation process, nobody is actually working on it (except for patches)
=> Meaning for them the game is not yet validated by SCEE.

So who is to believe ???

Since RCR is available on PSN US & on STEAM Worlwide (in MULTI5), and that SCEE have a long history of fumbled games on EU PSN, my mind is set.

BTW any news of Sine Mora ? Available for nearly 3 months on US PSN and worldwide on STEAM since last week ?

£49.99 for of orcs and men…..£39.99 for saints row complete WOW, sony are mental

Is it just me or has the blog been upgraded with a new censorship protocol?
Everywhere I look the term (CENSORED) pops up. Nice to know where the priorities lie…

“Portal 2, no plans right now”

Good lord

All of us in PAL regions are being royally raped by SCEE.

Particularly here in Australia where we pay almost twice the price that those in the US pay for the exact same content, and that’s considering that our dollar is almost on par with theirs.

Then there’s the subject of digital downloads. Not only do we have to download them, and there’s no re-sale value, but they’re grossly overpriced. I’ve seen games for $79.95 on the AU Store that I could buy a physical copy of locally for under $60, and substantially less if imported from the UK.

Lastly (and not including my major displeasure with the new PSN Store), but why is SONY preventing Harmonix from releasing all of their Rock Band Network songs on the PS3? According to them, it’s SONY that is imposing a limit of 5 a week, and they can’t even get that right most weeks.

Since the comment I just posted was marked “awaiting moderation”, I figured i’d go with a slightly softer reply.

Not much in the way of content this week eh. 4 ps3 games that can be bought at the shops. bah.

Any idea when we can expect Walking Dead episode 5 ? Looking forward to finishing that game off so i can replay again in full for a different experience.

I’ve no idea who you have to give a kick in the rear to get the Spyro PS1 games through, but at least try to have them ready before 2013.

Thank you for the answer Jawad.

Can I ask one more thing? Can you bother Activision to include the PSP version of Call Of Duty Roads to Victory in the Declassified game just like they do in the US, because we europeans, are people too!

Black Ops – $49.99 / £44.99

This is why I buy 90% of my games from the US store now.

Hey Jawad, I just wanted to ask about the 2.0 Vita update next week. Apart from PS Plus support, will there be any other new features? (I’d like to see folder support but I doubt that’d happen) If this has already been answered can you point me in the direction?
Thanks man.

It really is completely pathetic that SCEE has no update on CS:GO after all this time!

It’s clear the game isn’t coming to Europe. Utterly pathetic.

any and all DLC for scott pilgram vs the world is not on the store AT ALL whats the point of it being free on plus if i cant get the dlc for online co op?

hey

my first comment so i hope for a reply . just asking is EU ever going to get more PSONE RPGs , like chrono trigger , chrono cross , wild arms 3 or even breath of fire 4 . i love them games so if u can i would love to see them soon in the EN store if at all possible .

thanks guys , keep up the gd work

Hey jawad
Plz answer me is there an chance to have captain tusbasa
Classic games for ps 1 & ps2 thank you .

Nice update. Can we hope for guilty gear xx accent core to reach
Europe next week maybe?

hello, three questions:
1- will far cry and hitman be available day one on the ps store?
2- will gta v be available for pre order?
3- i got assassins creed 3 from the ps store (pre order it) but i don’t have the Benedict Arnold missions, and the store asks me 5 euros for it. wasn’t it suppose to be free? if you can’t answer this can you tell where should i ask?

thank you

jawad retro city rampage has 2 be free 4 everyone as a sorry 4 the delay oh & ye wers the street race pack 4 sleeping woofs

@188 farcry 3 is pre order on ps store i loooked earlier .2 GTAv will be pre order as well nearer release you can bet on it 3 you should of bought the game & dlc seperate

There seems to be an issue with the Fantastic 4 table on the vita. It downloads and installs but the game does not recognise it. I have downloaded the Zen Pinball update aswell. Could this be looked into please.

im pleased the usa were given the choice to have singstar or not displayed on their xmb, you’ve obviously realised the anger this created towards sony for implementing this on eu ps3s, i would like to know if sony are now going to implement the removal or option to remove the singstar icon for eu customers as others have requested.

Don’t worry sorted it out. If you do it through the game make sure you download the demo. Just downloading the key will not work.

Is the Square Enix characther pack for sleeping dogs suppose to be 690MB??? Seems alot for 3 characther skins and 3 weapons

Jawad – “The team do discuss pricing very regularly”

You really have to wonder what they’re discussing! How much more they can charge the idiots who buy digital content?

Hi Jawad, could You please answer me if there is any possibility that Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX will be released on croatian PSN?

@190 Thank you!

@82
At least your country has Neptunia mk2 avatars. All we get is a middle finger. Thanks for nothing once again NISA. And thanks SCEE for allowing this crap.

What about digital version of Portal 2? I think that in US both Portal 2 and DLC are available from the PS Store. And both are discounted for PS PLUS subscribers.

At LAST Bumpkins.. I mean Munchkins, Bethesda, the company that hates us, has managed to overcome PS3′s 256RAM and are finally releasing the first of Skyrim’s dlc! When? Next year knowing our luck and SCEE’s retarded release attitude…
