‘Heads-Up’ Store Update 28th November 2012

to al ps3 gamers = boycot COD season pass pricing
only way them are gone learn
not buy dlc untile corect price .

Hi, noticed the other day that Psychonaughts is on the US store, is there any chance of it coming to EU because my original PS2 disc is so scratched it’s nearly unplayable

#93 I am glad I am not the only one who has seen this phenomenon. I am just really burned because I payed for this a week ago, and now when I get it everybody is going to be kicking my butt.

Yes Jawad. You asked me to inform you if I still have issues downloading the All-Stars PS3 pre order bonus and YES.. It still says Auto Download.. and when I look it up on store (Add-Onn) section it keeps telling me (Unavailable) when I click on ‘Tell Me More’ it tells me ‘You do not own Alternate costume’.. How is that possible.. I have it on my PSVITA version working perfect but the PS3 version wont download.

Thank you for your quick reply

@shelbyu1

no

Yay, Studio avatars! but oh no, they’re game related

Really poor selection of PS+ discounts. Absolute joke.

i know you don’t like complaints on the blog, but dayum, total censorship is a bit much even for you guys. o_O

Ugh do they even read the comments for more than a few minutes after the content goes live? D:

I still can’t see the Doa5 Costume Pack 4 Bundle… just saying in case it was over looked.

@jawad

you responded to a user saying:
“Sadly we aren’t able to comment on the Black Ops season pass situation at the moment. Sorry”

will their be a moment for you to comment on this or does “at the moment” mean never?

Any chance we could get the hitman dlc bundle?

“Sadly we aren’t able to comment on the Black Ops season pass situation at the moment.”

What the hell is this meant to mean, it is meant to be £35, there are people buying Season Pass vouchers in stores that are only getting £35 PSN credit from it, meaning cannot even get the season pass they were sold. The XBox ones work fine, those are only £33.

Is flat out fraud. Fix the damn price.

Concerning the Black Ops 2 DLC in the future, I can only assume it will cost £12 or even £15, as opposed to the £10 RRP, right? Otherwise, there’s no Season Pass saving.

I know you probably can’t comment on that due to there not being any DLC announcements yet, but that has to be the logical pricing.

So at this stage I think it’s safe to give up on the hopes of ever seeing Retro City Rampage or Counter-Strike: GO in Europe.

@HazelAM

whats being censored?

Hi, is Lego LOTR on PSN for the PS3… last week you mentioned that it was delayed til tuesday this week, but still only posted the Vita version…

Any updates…?

oh and where is WRC 3 for Vita….?

As Post#21 confirmed my suspicions.
You really do need a Gold + next to your name to get a response. Or it certainly carrys more weight.
A reply to a question I posted for weeks was answered Via a plus subscriber after I had asked the question.

No biggie really but I was wondering.

Like commenter #69 i am curious if you have any knowledge pertaining to the release date of WRC3 for Vita on the store? Apart form that i’m chuffed with the Nights in to Dreams discount and the GT5 Corvette – didn’t see that one coming!

i agree SCEE should just disband & merge with SCEA back to the normal weekly Crappy Udates.

no Ps1 & Ps2 classics are you given up on them?

ill stop being negative for a second and say its greating seeing some SEGA items up for sale might have to grab 1 or 2 of them.

but i gotta ask what the heck is this???

Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate Booty – Ex. DE

i instantly thought of captain scarlett but i never heard of a captain scarlett game coming out. smh lol

@spagetti69 as of late the plus only lets you pay for the privalige of getting nothing more then standard members apart from some tiny pointless discounts, and themes that are always being hidden by the stupid singstar adware rubbish, which the new 12gb customers will love if they install it lol, it used to be good but now unless you buy a vita cause that seems to be getting all the limelight for now, there really isnt much point now as the free games that are being released are all bargin bin titles anyway that most people prob still own

Hello. Do you know if all the add-ons for Ratchet & Clank QForcein, can be unlocked by playing the game or is the only way to getting them is by the store & ps plus looks good in december. Thank you.

Just bought Nights – the Plus discount is 15% (making it £4.24), not 20% as stated in Jawad’s post.

Still no RCR,
Update 6 been release 2 weeks ago.
Game is still lost in certification process from SCEE.

There is really something fishy, and I really don t see why SCEE won t do anything to bring PSN US top seller ?

On the subject of retro city rampage, the dev HAS issued a statement on the game. It was just under 2 weeks ago and it said the game was now done and had already been sent to Sony, so we are talking 3 to 4 weeks ago today.

So with that said…. Any word from Sony?

Jawad – I am unable to download PS All Stars as is not in the store.

Where did you hear that this was fixed? lol..

Anyone not happy with the Black Ops II season price issue go to activision support and complain, as well as watchdog and trading standards.

http://support.activision.com
http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/gotastory/
http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/index.cfm

Template for Activision support:

I recently bought CoD Black Ops II for PS3, on the CoD Elite website the season pass is labled as being £35. http://www.callofduty.com/uk/en/blackops2/seasonpass

However on UK Playstation store the season pass is priced at £42, according the Sony that is the price Activision has set.

Activision have flat out lied to me as well as many other CoD fans using false advertising, in shops the season pass for PS3 is being sold for £35 as advertised on CoD website, but when try and redeem the code only £35 PSN credit is given, not enough for the season pass.

I find this an act of fraud and false advertising, I am unsure if digital vouchers are covered by it, but if so this clearly breaks the UK Sales of Goods Act.

I will not be buying any Activision products or DLC until this issue is rectified and will be encouraging others to do so, as well as encouraging others unhappy with this situation to report such dodgy practices to BBC Watchdog and trading standards.

Aww hope the DOA5 bundle isn’t pushed back, all the other regions seem to have it already…

Jawad, a little fedup of asking everywhere and either getting fobbed off or ignored. What is happening with resident evil 2 for the vita, I paid 7.99 and can’t even download it because it got removed. For the love of god, just ask someone as it’s not just me asking every week.

Jawad-both! I have emailed customer service and proven my purchase already. Meanwhile the game does not have a “buy now” or download button or price in the store, and my version in my purchase history still gives me this trial error.

Like I said I have already proven my purchase, my bank states that it has been withdrawn and everything. The cust service email reps have stopped responding to me 4 or 5 days ago and their last response was:

“There were some problems with the demo version of the game. Users who have downloaded the demo, had recieved the full version by mistake. We have made this undone, but it seems now that we accidentally have also converted your full game to a demo version.”

and that’s it. Now what? I want my game!!!

Jawad is there chance that some day Time Splitter will be on ps store, does not matter ps2 classic or hd.

I’d buy the Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3, but I’m waiting until ME1 is released so I can play the series in order, and then the DLC.

hi jawad i want to ask you a Question…
is there any new if the game called
Ys: Woodland of Celceta OR(Ys: Celceta no Jukai) will be available in the eu store or us store if yes will be there Physical copy i mean game with box
and thnx for the update

Is Jet Set Radio a cross buy title? Or will the sale of it and the ps+ 15% discount be on the ps vita too? Really liked the demo on the vita.

Hey Jawad do you happen to have any info on Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus?

@ukcrazyguy it was nice of sony to offer you a refund

Jawad

Thank you so much for helping me out and responding. It’s pretty easy to feel overlooked in this blog’ comment feed…Thank you for taking the time to respond to my issue.

If you need any screenshots, proof, anything at all please let me know. I’ll be refreshing this blog obsessively, awaiting your answer.

Hi Jawad
Are game lego Lord of The Rings(PS3/PS VITA) coming to the PSN Saudi?
And if the answer is no why?
Thank you.

When are we going to be able to preview dynamic themes again?!!

Jawad
Is Jet Set Radio a cross buy title? Or is the sale price and the ps+ 15% discount extended onto the ps vita store too?
Thanks

Jawad

Thanks for answering. This is kind of ridiculous though. If everything is reported fixed, I should have what I paid for, I am pretty close to wanting my money back honestly. I hate to be that guy but this is getting out of hand.

I think its kind of weird that I had to contact the BLOG GUY to get some sort of answer on this. No offense meant–you do great work, but you shouldn’t have to field week-old support questions because the customer service is literally ignoring me.

‘But don’t most prefer game related?’
Well have the devs of those games make them instead of wasting The Studio’s time.

…and thought The Studio was all about promoting the top contemporary artists, not advertising games that already have plenty of coverage.

No real point asking about CS:GO now. SCEE haven’t a clue.

You guys just removed the avatar, themes, backgrounds etc list didn’t ya? This new store only focuses (or offers) games and dlc. Where’s the avatars? Where’s the themes?! There’s no section for themes or wallpapers anymore! (CENSORED)

Jawad, your comments on pulling resident evil 2 from the store truly amazes me. So a publisher can put a game in the store, then sell it and receive the money and then remove it from the store. So i am 10 euros poorer and i have no game. This is basically theft.

Yeahhh I wish I could know more, but I really can’t afford to call PS Holland from Spain

If only there were a way to migrate trophies and PS+ and download histories to different countries when you move, then I could bug customer support all day. Sadly it’s impossible.

If you have any info you’d like to give me, please send me a message via PSN, or my account email (you have access to this right?) because I do not check this blog very regularly…unless you have a better way for you to contact me with any updates if you have them.

Jawad,

If someone purchased Tomba! 2, once it’s put back online they will be able to directly download it, correct? I’d like to know I haven’t been robbed of my money out of nowhere.

Hi Jawad

I haven’t commented in a long time but still read all the store updates every week.

I was just wondering when we will be getting a price drop for the vita games like the U.S. got i.e. Uncharted and Resistance? think it would be a bit unfair if we had to wait.

anyway keep up the good work, look forward to the next weeks update.

After my ps plus subscription ends i am never going to re- new again it is just one big massive fail, i thought we were going to get 5 games every month or am i going crazy??! Anyways i would only recommend it if you are a casual gamer if not then get ready for a whole world of dissapointment.
