European PSN updates for February 28th

by Jem Alexander { Feb 28th 2008 at 10:15AM }

If you thought last week's PSN update was bad, then be prepared to be really disappointed. The European PSN Store has been updated already (as seems to be the norm, nowadays) with just two trailers. Yep, that's it. We suspect you, the commenters, are going to have a field day with this one. Here's the "full release list":

Conflict: Denied Ops "Dev Diary 4" trailer (free)
Haze "Boss Speech" trailer (free)

This is an even worse update than the "Surely Not" releases at the start of January. Honestly, Sony, what about all the games that have been out in America for months but have yet to make it over here. Hopefully, if the Store redesign rumor comes true then the people behind the European Store updates will take their job a bit more seriously. Two trailers? Really?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

well. what can you say to that. Bring on the flamethrowers...

Apparently next week is going to be good (apparently it was meant as 'can't be any worse', but you never know!) ;)

Edd @ Feb 28th 2008 10:19AM

yup it certainly sucks (god bless entropay!)
OOh ! possibly first!

sourskittles @ Feb 28th 2008 10:23AM

just hope the U.S. update is better...if not hopefully a firmware update....hey i can dream can't I. lol

wilboss @ Feb 28th 2008 10:27AM

Two trailers? Are you f***ing serious! This is getting beyond a joke - why has Pain _STILL_ not arrived - America has had it since November 2007 and we were promised it in February 2008, Europe gets the shaft again...

Steve Childs @ Feb 29th 2008 12:28PM

I'm personally on the verge of not buying PAIN when it eventually comes out over here.

Why the hell should I support a developer who is more interested in developing add-ons for PAIN in the US market than to get the game out in the EU.

Get your sodding priorities right. Idiots, don't you fracking realise that you'd make more money by releasing it in the EU than releasing pathetic add-ons in the US?

Sony should, in my opinion, force developers who release on the PSN, to release to all stores at the same time, unless there is a damn good commercial reason for not doing so.

Screw 'em.

Byron517 @ Feb 28th 2008 10:34AM

I'm starting to feel as if my Euro brother are getting really shafted!! I saw an American Boycott till everyone gets some love!!!!! ORGANIZE PEOPLE ORGANIZE!!

Niels R. @ Feb 28th 2008 10:36AM

Oooh, Sony, you're spoiling us! Thank you one million billion times until eternity!

(Or not...)

adorna @ Feb 28th 2008 10:44AM

likesomeone said on the psu forums : next thing we'll say stuff like "Be glad they didn't take any content away from us"

zellers @ Feb 28th 2008 10:43AM

i agree willboss.... its gettin really annoyin.... if the analysts are to be believed and europe is the decider in the console wars in 2008 they better stop delayin games, esp psn titles for over 3 months.... i'd to know what exactly is taking this long to bring it to europe... anyone???

Tim Parsons @ Feb 28th 2008 10:41AM

god that's puke worthy,. i hope the North America Store is better then that.

YOud think SONY would throw in the Videos from GDC last week or something

Jakob @ Feb 28th 2008 10:47AM

700 mio. citizitens in Europe compared to 300mio in US.

Haiddasalami @ Feb 28th 2008 12:58PM

I think Canada is also in North America. Its not like NA is only US.

Jakob @ Feb 28th 2008 1:00PM

All right 330 mio. ;)

Tim Parsons @ Feb 28th 2008 10:55AM

of everything you've listed only thing we have that you don't is Good PS1 games(On PSN Store) though none I have interest in,. the rest i've never seen myself or even heard of. ,. oh and we still got 80GB's that play PS2 games other then that most of what you listed isn't out period yet. such as PSN Cards(for the U.K) DS3 pads(for the U.K) so far both are only out(officially) in Asia.

ryan @ Feb 28th 2008 10:59AM

i'd play with myself before going back to N64...

Zombie Huggles @ Feb 28th 2008 11:06AM

Have you tried contacting Sony? It worries me that you only have a 40gig option. I personally find BC very important. I don't want an excess of consoles filling my entertainment center when i could have it all in one. Maybe if enough people complain (that is, if enough people care) they'll take a survey, and that survey would hopefully show a massive interests in "better" PS3s!

Brodie-san @ Feb 28th 2008 11:10AM

While you're moaning about the PS3 can I moan about your grammar? It seems only fair.
;)

reson8er @ Feb 28th 2008 11:31AM

Better luck next week :(

Maybee NA will have somehting you guys can mooch til then ;)

Tim Parsons @ Feb 28th 2008 11:42AM

I Like that New HAZE trailer though , no gameplay footage but it is cool I think. Still Crossing my Fingers hoping we get something more appetizing here in North America

morpheus @ Feb 28th 2008 11:59AM

you are joking right?!?
Ive put up with 11 months of this
Come on SONY where the h3ll is the decent stuff??

Kabapu @ Feb 28th 2008 12:03PM

Seriously ... considering Sony's trying to win the global sales war, they really should focus more attention on Europe or they'll lose their steam.

KayRazy Ken Kutaragi @ Feb 28th 2008 1:30PM

SCEE get out of those "coffee" shops and GET TO WORK!!!
WTF are you guys doing over there? Why have an update at all if this is what you give, it would have been better to have NO update than this utter complete BS. Man you guys are fraked in the head.

And still no PAIN? Why? Get off your collective lazy asses and go do something for these LOYAL EU Playstation fans that are dying for some love in return.

Heartsbane @ Feb 29th 2008 6:23PM

Thankfully, I have an American account too. Best decision I ever made. I got to play Ratchet, Uncharted, Devil May Cry 4, Turok, and Lost Planet before many of my European brothers. :)

Aaron @ Feb 28th 2008 12:24PM

Why are you guys complaining? At least you got a update. Remember Sony doesnt have to update the PS Store. So be thankful.

anthonyjh @ Feb 28th 2008 1:33PM

Shut the hell up Aaron, because yes, yes they do.
They want me to pay so much more for a PS3 than other next gen systems, then they better god damned deliver the experience.

Proud PS3 owner btw... I just don't want to see my European home boys getting the shaft, especially when they are the ones who are buying up all the consoles.

tatoosx @ Feb 28th 2008 1:39PM

There is no significative update on xbl right now. I just wonder why ps3fnboy always expect some huge updates every weeks of d month on the psn. Not even on xbl we receive significative weekly content updates, not even knowing this is a paid services contraire to psn. Let’s be a little fair on this, guys.

Christian @ Feb 28th 2008 1:44PM

I generally agree with you on the level of complaints. I think the frustration is mostly caused by knowing that things like High Velocity Bowling, Pain etc., have been out for a long time in the US and is taking a small eternity to get translated, rated and released in Europe for some reason. If it wasn't for this backlog I think most Europeans wouldn't get so upset whenever a new weekly update comes out with only smaller additions.

Freemen @ Feb 28th 2008 1:57PM

Maybe EU will be seeing HOME 1 month later than NA, I would not be surprised seeing how much we are already being neglected.

Mentality @ Feb 28th 2008 2:15PM

America don't seem to have even had an update. sucks to be them more :S

enigma137 @ Feb 28th 2008 2:39PM

The American store doesnt update till about 10-11pm British time . Lets pray theres something half decent on there.

Really tho these EU updates are just 1 disappointment after another.

Mentality @ Feb 28th 2008 2:47PM

Ahhh kewl, because I got my main EU/UK account and a US account for the good stuff lol, the only bad experience I had with the US account was the GH3 free addons don't work with the EU game so we missed the We 3 Kings and Aerosmith tunes, god damn Playstation keep tredding on our heads :(

Lets hope you guys get some good stuff so I can gate crash the party :D
