Three demos! Too bad they all end with "2008."
upz @ Aug 30th 2007 5:20PM
Didn't even notice the Beowulf trailer until my second glance. Now there's one trailer I'd love to have in 1080p.
aBe @ Aug 30th 2007 5:21PM
As an European, I'm still a third class cityzen.
Warhawk 2 days late.
Nothing more new today on PSN.
Where's Skate demo???
Titty Pink @ Aug 30th 2007 5:22PM
never$$hort beat you guys to the punch. This is excellent news. Looks like things are shaping up. Before the xbots come, I'll say a few things they'd like to remind you of in random order:
Bioshock, Halo 3, the PS3 STILL has no games, Live is STILL better, Madden only runs at 30fps, STILL no rumble, the reviews for Lair suck, Warhawk has no campaign, and Heavenly Sword is just a God of War clone. Oh, and blu-ray is losing because Paramount or whoever chose HD-DVD exclusively.
Did I forget anything? Now that THAT is over, 5 more hours until I get off and get into some Warhawk...
GRANTED @ Aug 30th 2007 5:25PM
wow.
psn gets demos + warhawk just came out = i dont care anymore.
oh snap its 530. almost time get home and play.
Russ @ Aug 30th 2007 5:28PM
It's getting ridiculous. It's like Sony WANT to lose European customers.
Egster @ Aug 30th 2007 5:29PM
@ aBe
As a European you can just create a US account. Take your destiny into your own hands.
Titty Pink @ Aug 30th 2007 5:31PM
That's true enough Egster. If you guys are too lazy to create another account, I don't feel too bad for you. I'm military, and have friends is England and thats what THEY did. You should give it a shot...
KiraXD @ Aug 30th 2007 5:35PM
OMFG a game released simultaneously with its XBLA counterpart!! (same release week) now THATS a first.
harms @ Aug 30th 2007 5:48PM
Is it possible for a euopean person to buy games on the US store.
Charles @ Aug 30th 2007 5:52PM
Egster & Titty Pink, you need a credit card registered at a US address in order to purchase items from the US Playstation store.
You can get the free stuff but the only two things I want from this update are Tekken Online and Super Puzzle Fighter neither of which I can get because I'm in Europe.
I've decided not to buy another thing from the PS Store until the EU store exactly mirrors the content of the US Store. If they don't want to sell things to me I'm more than happy not to buy them.
ruibing @ Aug 30th 2007 6:09PM
@4 - With fans like these, who needs xbots? Lol.
When do they usually update PSN for Europe? The timezones are different two, I think the thing to do is to be patient. I have to patiently wait until winter break before I can go home and play on my PS3.
Titty Pink @ Aug 30th 2007 6:09PM
Right on Charles. Sorry dude, didn't know that. Either way the PS store SHOULD step it up so you guys don't have to find work arounds. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. I mean money is money right? That's just bad business...
pepe @ Aug 30th 2007 6:10PM
Where do I find the TDR5 add-on on PSN? Seems like all they list on PSN is the game/add-on bundle, but I already have the game. So where's the add-on?
Samuraidino @ Aug 30th 2007 6:10PM
I think i speak for all europeans when i say,we were screwed over worse than usual.
otsego_undead @ Aug 30th 2007 6:17PM
screw you euro gamers. Sony threw you a HUGE bone with PlayTV. I'd trade you in a heartbeat... so take your bitching elsewhere...
adam @ Aug 30th 2007 6:30PM
Im glad I downloaded what I wanted before this was posted. I looked at the PSN store around 3 and it was all up. So I started downloading. It was all done in about 30 minutes. both games, 2 demos, all the wallpapers, and a couple trailers.
Andy @ Aug 30th 2007 6:43PM
I am going to have to skip over those demos because I'm busy getting my ass kicked in Warhawk. I've already made 3 new friends through Warhawk.
mike @ Aug 30th 2007 6:51PM
Tekken online play $9.99 ... i though online play was free on PSN ;-)
never$$hort @ Aug 30th 2007 6:55PM
@4 Titty Pink: "never$$hort beat you guys to the punch."
-Thanks for the props...Came on here just to see if they had the update posted on here yet for the rest of you... anyways back to downloading now.
irshliquor @ Aug 30th 2007 6:58PM
damnit...i'm at work and i can't go home to clean up the mess i just made in mis pantalones.
irshliquor @ Aug 30th 2007 7:00PM
how's this password thingy work?
storm @ Aug 30th 2007 7:19PM
harms: yeah it is, im from sweden and i do it all the time. just create an us account, add your visa and youre all set!
Dante @ Aug 30th 2007 7:55PM
hey KiraXD suck my cock. your internet service has been out for 2 years. less than 1 for us. its great that you show off your intelligence on ps3 sites.
Dante @ Aug 30th 2007 7:55PM
otsego_undead chill kid we're all ps3 fans here...they're just a little angry we would be too.
schuyler @ Aug 30th 2007 7:57PM
Its more like four demos because super puzzle fighter has a demo you can download
importuner923 @ Aug 30th 2007 8:02PM
omg its taking forever like 2 hours for one demo what the heck man.
upz @ Aug 30th 2007 8:35PM
That Nascar game is quite possibly the ugliest game I've ever laid my eyes on. I think I've seen better looking Flash games.
Josh @ Aug 30th 2007 10:14PM
No lair demo? wtf, I figured they would have to release it today, because by the time next thursday comes it will be out everywhere. I know I can just go buy the game, but after the mixed reviews it had I'm not doling out 60 bucks until I can play the demo and see for myself.
Ali @ Aug 31st 2007 4:37AM
WOW Europe really got the shaft this week again.
railven @ Aug 31st 2007 6:35AM
Wow, this was a huge update. I wonder if Sony will keep them coming.
So far Sony has earned a good portion of my "gaming funds."
Puzzle Fighter: $10
Tekken Online Add-On Bundle (I wanted for the Online feature before buying it): $30
Warhawk: $60
Lair: $60
Total: $160 - In 2 weeks.
R. @ Aug 31st 2007 7:27AM
There's also a Puzzlefighter II Turbo HD Demo on PSN now. (as well as the game for sale)
wh1ttle @ Aug 31st 2007 9:09AM
@16 the reason eu get play tv and us dont is not because sony felt like giving eu a treat its because it wouldn't work in u.s. if it did work you can guarantee america would be the first place to get it
roborange @ Sep 1st 2007 1:43PM
Are you able to on-line challenge someone you know within the Tekken game or does it limit the player to random 12 year old boys?
Anyone know? Anybody? Beuller?
Blackcanary @ Sep 2nd 2007 8:35AM
Sony i use to stick up for you and defined the PS3 but after seeing the Japanese and Hong Kong, USA PS Store its come down to me saying what everyone else is you do not care about people in the UK.
Japanese PS store has so meny PS1 games they have Tekken 2 FPS alot of Plat formers and RPG. they have alot of add ons to boot to like sonic blast factory. what do we have 3 PS1 games 3 addon packs for 3 games Motor storm Ridge Racer 7 and Genji.
What the hell gives you the right to put games on the Playstation Network that don’t work for one Spyro 2 it wont load a level and i’m stoped looking at a black screen.
I wont my Money back.
You say that you want the gamers to have a good experiences on the PS3 all the other the world the only country i see that the gamers ant complaneing is Japan because they get games that don’t get relised in europe games that i for would like to play and read it in English not Japanese.
We don’t want stupid trailers that we can see on the net or on TV of films coming out the Japanese site hardly has does they have the Game Movies which i think is Fantastic why the hell did you only bring out Boku no Natsu Yasumi 3 in Japan i was looking forward to that i was even going to buy a copy online when i find out that you can’t change the language to English and that it doesn’t have english sub titles in it get your act together.
And what happend to Supper Puzzle street fighter HD that was supposed to be a world wide relish why is Europe always last in line we still don’t even have Tekken 5 DR online.
Sony if i have to write a letter to you i will. And if things do not change i will take this as fare as i can just to see that u are trying to in prove things.
If i remember one of Your team members said that the People in Europe don’t mind delays because we don’t make a big fuse a about it. Will if u want a big Fuse i’ll give u one.
wang_slaps @ Sep 25th 2007 5:23PM
how do i open a us account from england then? i mean, i aint got a damn credit card registered to a us address lmao! and i need tekken online!!!!!
can anyone help?
Bennettbuzz @ Sep 27th 2007 11:30AM
Im getting fucked off with this shit from sony, why dont they just make 2 PSN stores 1 for japan and 1 for the rest of the world I want Super Puzzle fighter So bad but I heard no plans at all to release it in europe.
Come on Sony is it so hard just to put this and a few more decent full games on the PSN. I dont want to buy syphon filter or medevil for £4 when i can get them at my local store for cheaper, we want addictive classic games that have online play attached on it and maybe updated graphics that is all.
