With demos I understand that a game might be coming out later in Europe, so it would make more sense for the demo to be released accordingly. What I don’t understand is why Sony is sitting on a fat pile of content to be paid for. There’s so much demand for Everyday Shooter, Pain etc, and yet Sony isn’t giving us either the chance to buy this stuff off them or a reasonable explanation to why they aren’t putting them on the store.

All this moaning is a bit of a yawn, so I’m going to moan about it. In my day we didn’t have virtual stores. Heck, we didn’t even have polygons. We had a sluggish 2D sprite who filled half the screen, one life, no energy bar, and only one button on the joystick. You scamps have it easy!

I gave up on the EU PSN store months ago, we are still months behind in content and updates and the communication coming out our SCEE is as always terrible.

Which is strange considering that PS3 has a larger market share in Europe than in the US.

I really don’t see anything improving to be honest.

August 17th 2007

“Weâ€™ve been on to SCEUK to try and get some idea of whatâ€™s going on with PSN updates, and when the content should start to flow more freely. We canâ€™t promise when exactly, but they assure us they will get back to us with a roadmap of sorts of how the PSN will develop. ”

Where is this roadmap, it never arrived…

With regards to the the PSN, patience is one thing john but lack of information is what is upsetting most people. Even moreso information that is later proven to be false i.e. promises of games that people want and for them to then not deliver.

I’ll have a look later when I get time but there was a list published last July / August promising what was due before the end of 2007. It would be interesting to see what was delivered.

I dont know what Sony is playing at. The PSN should be a central nerve to them as it is the best medium for them to generate sales and promote their other products. The fact their not using it is like a racing driver not using the top two gears. I doubt very much its to do with resources, and if their PR team isn’t motivated - send them on a course or start printing P45’s.

Well I was very happy with todays update, some nice demos and a few nice videos. I think some of you really need some patience. In the software industry 90% of the time projects are late (and overbudget). It’s just a fact of life. And it really makes no difference to me if I get to play a game a few weeks, or even a couple of months later than it was originally meant to be released. There are other things in life beside the PS3.

Apologies for the typos in my first post, was using my cellphone.

Anyway, thank God for the US store. At least there’s something (hopefully) worthwhile there in the form of the Turok demo.

As for the rest, SCEE can suck it. As soon as possible, I’m going to lay my hands on some US Playstation cards so I can get some decent content for a change.

I too am dissillusioned by both the PSN store and this site. As Shrul said, the info you get from TS is pulled from other places and late, so what is the point.

As for the store, I have completely given up on it. I haven’t been on there for two weeks as forums I read allsay what utter shite is on there (or not!)
