‘Heads-Up’ Store update 21st November 2012

@242 No need to wait, just hold power button for about. 30 seconds. Failing that there is another option to reset as well, just google it.

@R17L29XI Something similiar happened with the launch of Little Big Planet PS Vita, everyone who bought it on the first day couldn’t install it, and had to wait for a (PSN wallet) refund and buy it again. I hope this won’t become a trend for all big PS Vita releases.

Nice and all to give trophies for Frobisher Says, but apart from showing in the ps vita trophy list on the ps vita the earned trophies are nowhere to be found. Not in the psn trophy list on the vita or on the ps3 nor on the gamers card. Lol…

Hi Jawad! Big fan of this Heads up posts!

By any luck we’ll see Syphon Filter 2 and Syphon Filter Omega Strain? Especially if it was possible on PS Vita!

Also please please anything on Ratchet Deadlocked/Gladiator HD it was my favorite game in the franchise!!

Thank you very much for the updates and comments!

Wow amazing job Jawad, a great week really, you out id yourself. (Note: That was major sarcasm).

Well lets see you report incorrect prices, make the game Jet Set Radio that is free for psn plus for US not free for euro especially when you are giving less and worse titles for free for psn plus and tons of users complaining that they have made a purchase of two titles so far that do not start, says it is a trial and you say to call customer service which costs money….

Worst of all you insult end user who was asking for CS:GO and Retro City Rampage… I am only waiting for Retro City Rampage, I am not touching PSN because it is rubbish to me, I played RCR on PC, it is a highly polished game and it was made by a single dev…

Also please tell the higher ups that Euro PSN is failing, and it is failing more and more… It gets compared to US PSN and you are always offering less and charge much more for Australia… Do you see XBox live or steam having this issue, no they don’t they keep the regions the same at least and their pricing for Australia isn’t so bloated. I hate paying at least double than the American prices, it is a joke, DLC should be cheap but so far to get all DLC for a game in Australia is like paying for the same amount as you have paid the game and sometimes more… The entire DLC content for a game doesn’t offer more content than the full game so why it costs the same or more…

I am insulted, yes I am waiting only for Retro City Rampage, I have been waiting ever since Sony announced it over a year ago, its trailers over the year made major fan service… The fact is Euro PSN has failed to realise that delaying the title hurts it customers because they were waiting for the game to be released for ages and you are delaying it for what, for your own benefit.

I will hound you again and again for RCR, I will never make another purchase on PSN and refuse to get PSN plus until Retro City Rampage is released.

Hi, I just bought Sine Mora for Vita and downloaded, but it tells me it’s the trial, and  PSN store prompts me to pay for it again.. Download list says my version is ‘not compatible whith this device’.. 
 
Is this the right place to get a fix?

You got Safari for WRC3 listed there but there is no sign in the store of this DLC nor is there any info to find about it elsewhere.

thx sony for psv titles in ps+ great stuff

Not going to buy anything as long as the Singstar icon is there without the option to delete.

If, like me, you bought the latest Pinball Arcade DLC on your PSVita and can’t get the PS3 version in the PS3 store (both options give the PSVita version), there is an alternate solution: both versions are listed in your download list.

@TheSoldier09

Gladiator was my favourite its on japan store in HD and will hit US soon so probley will hit us sometime after.

@sp4reNL

the singstar icon is annoying but its not annoying enough to not buy games -_-

Not sure if this is intended or not but i can download All-Stars Battle Royal for FREE. Grab it while its hot

Also i love the games we get in PS+, specially Gravity rush which i was planning to buy so thank you Sony

Syrus, i’ve already done that a couple of hours ago but it didn’t work:/ Is it working for you? I think Sony screwed up badly with this. I think it’s supposed to be trial version but it’s saying “full version”.

great job! ps plus…cross buy. wow

hey reydempto!! dw…i think everything will be just alrite. its just like the LBP incident (couldnt be installed) and sony fixed that.

What’s this? Walking Dead? On time?!
Good job! =)

Media Go is showing Valkyria Chronicles II as $54.95 in Australia (I don’t have a ps3). Any chance of the discount extending to us down under?

Carmanen, its almost halfway downloading now so i let you know

Hi Jawad,

do you know when the Wake Up Club app is going to be released in the UK?

Thanks,
Adam.

i thought planets under attack was going up today,can anyone tell me when it’s gonna get here

Hey Jawad,

I hope you see this message since it’s all the way on page 6! Anyway, is there any chance of a dlc sale soon?

I’m loving the free PSV games, but my 4GB Memory Stick doesn’t…
Why must you make your Memory Sticks so expensive, Sony?!

Oh, and where’s Retro City Rampage? How many weeks is it late now? Six? Hurry up!

The rest of the update is pretty decent, though.

Carmanen, you were right, it says its a demo once you start it up o well it was to good to be true anyway

Hey, what’s the situation on the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus situation? Any hope it’ll reach Europe this year?

Vita version of Battle Royale seems to be unavailable on the PSN store. Is that another mistake like with LBP a few weeks back? I was going to get this on PS3 and Vita with cross-buy but if there’s a problem with them I’ll hold off.

Dear Jawad
I have just been onto the playstation store and noticed that the CoD Black ops season pass is £41.99. All retail outlets have been advertising it as £35 since the launch of the game (slightly more that the Xbox version), The season pass sold in store works as a credit top up only adding £35 to your playstation account so that you can purchase the season pass upon release. Could you shed some light on the pricing difference as we are going to have a lot of angry customers tomorrow many thanks James (Game Canterbury)

@jawad

why can’t i download Virtue’s Last Reward it refuses 2 let me download it when i bought it i downloaded it but nothing appeared and now i’m retrying 2 download and it won’t let me.

i thought planets under attack was going up today,can anyone tell me when it’s gonna get here?
please some one must know something

cheers!

Please dont give up on the PS3. Make sure you remember that on top of Vita.

What’s up with the pre-order auto-download of Lego The Lord of the Rings? It did not download on the 20th or 21st like it was supposed to and the download list now shows it as downloading on the 26th (and being playable on the 27th)… I hope that latter part is just some mistake. Either way, the pre-order character pack is already showing up as manually downloadable on the download list (though I obviously won’t download it without having the game first).

Planets Under Attack…. when is it coming to the e.u????

£33.99 for Saints Row the Third… what a joke!!! That’s with a discount… even worse! Some of the prices on the store for games is just pathetic. Sony really only want to rip their customers off.

Jawad no updates on the Way of the samurai 4 dlc?

So what the heck is “Dmc Devil May Cry”? I keep hearing different things from different places. Is it the first game in the Devil May Cry series? A new game? downloadable content for one of the existing games? Something else?

Black Ops II season pass is mispriced.

Is meant to be £35, this is the price and PSN credit you get by buying a season pass PSN voucher in a store (so currently it isn’t going to work), also listed as £35 on CoD/Activision/Treyarch websites.

PS Plus for VITA! Absolutely Killer!

This may have already been answered, but note that Sine Mora is out for PS3 and VITA, but can;t see anything about Cross-buy???? DOes anyone know?

@mJ_mSv I allready got a UK account too. but all my games, etc is still on this account, so I rather want them to do propper EU releases to whole of EU than “forget” parts whit sloppy releases.
Or atleast introduce gifting that do not take in what country the reciver is in..

Can someone tell me when Tomba is going to be playable on Vita? I bought it as soon as it came out, but all this time it’s been unavailable on it.

Not much for me this week. Borderlands 2 dlc, and maybe some Vita PS+ stuff, though I’m disappointed that America got Jet Set Radio snuck in as a freebie, and we didn’t.

Also is anyone checking out the issue that came with Vita 2.0 where Vita stuff is showing up on PS3? Like I get party chat requests that have long since expired showing up on my PS3 when I turn it on, and messages I send to people show up in my inbox. =\

dmc demo was amazing i was not too interested in this until i played the demo but now im totally sold.

Well like many I bought Sine mora for £11.99 & when it downloaded all i got is a trial version??? And then the price was put down to £7.99. So have I just donated £11.99 to sony ??? It will not let me unlock the game saying its no longer available Is this going to be fixed?

Hi Jawad, wanna ask you if I download the Vita demo version for the PS All-Stars (1.6GB) will I be able to actvite it as Full game when I receive my PS3 copy or i’ll have to download it again ? Just asking

When is Resident Evil 2 coming back to Vita? This question will probably be ignored but I’d thought I’d try asking anyway.

Planets Under Attack? any release date?

@Mat_Husky: It’s a new game, apparently set in a parallel universe.

Hi Fred & Jawad.

(Part 1)

Long time reader, first time to post anything.
I’ve been a plus subscriber since the early days, and I must say, although it started great, it went a bit in the wrong direction for quiet a while, and now, it’s absolutely fabulous.

After reading the announcement of PS+ coming to Vita at NO extra cost, with Uncharted to begin with, you’ve got me doing something I didn’t want to do (for now at least)… buying a PS Vita.
So I bought one on Tuesday with a 32GB card, because anything smaller is a waste of money, because it will never be enough for all the games that are going to be thrown upon us, and in the end it will cost more to buy a few smaller cards.

I bought it especially a day before the start of the + service for the Vita, so that I would be ready for the action when it would hit us.
(everybody knows that the first day is a day of charging battery’s, installing stuff, and so on…and not that much gaming)

But damn did I get burned for being a (to) early buyer!

(Part 2)

Today, just after downloading Uncharted (YEAH) and all the other games, I got an email from Playstation with the announcement of PS+ starting for Vita, and to celebrate, take this email and go buy a Vita ’till the 24th of December and get a 8GB memory card for FREE at your local, participating store, the one were I got mine the day before…I mean…Come on… send the message a few days earlier! No?!
I always get announcement emails from Playstation a few days/weeks to late!
Although it doesn’t clearly say what the starting day is…

I’ve learned my lesson in the past for being a early buyer with games at day one, because it goes wrong way to often on the store(which was better with the old layout to be honest), but I didn’t expect to get burned like this!

(Part 3)

Another example is Unit 13 for Vita, I downloaded the demo yesterday, because I was thinking of buying it this week with the -20%. but know I won’t, why you ask? Well, because again I got a French speaking game, while I live on the Dutch speaking side of Belgium. So I’m sure that if the demo is in French, the complete game will also be in French. We want games in English, maybe with the option to select Dutch(don’t forget the kids), but for sure not with a language that isn’t our native one!

So could you guys check to see if the complete game of Unit 13 is in English in our Dutch speaking, Belgian store, so that I can be sure I’m not wasting my money once again and please, pretty please, help me to still profit from a deal that left me with a bitter feeling…(8gb is still 8gb, isn’t it?)

Regards,

Valkyria Chronicles II is still listed at £27.99 on the UK PSN store not £9.99 as advertised on the blog; several folks have pointed this out but none of the moderators have commented on the situation.

Jawad

I cannot find the last Deathspank game, “The Baconing” on the store anywhere, I’m from Australia.

Looks like Thongs of Virtue isn’t on there either, but I already have that purchased.

Gravity Rush dlc for little big planet has the same problem as the hitman dlc. The packs are missing so you can only buy the stuff piece by piece.
