European PSN update for May 15th

by Jem Alexander { May 15th 2008 at 8:15AM }

Who fancies playing some games? Okay, okay. Calm down. There's enough to go around. No, really. There actually is. SCEE has laid on a sumptuous spread of content for today's PSN Store update. Between Dark Mist, the Overlord demo, PixelJunk Monsters: Encore and myriad trailers and themes, there's something for everyone. Here's the full release list:

Playable content

Dark Mist full game (£4.99/€7.99)
C&C Red Alert PS1 game for PS3/PSP (£3.49/€4.99)
WipEout Pure full PSP game (£14.99/€19.99)
Overlord demo (free)

Add-on content

Everybody's Golf: World Tour "Alex" character (£0.69/€0.99)

Surprised? So are we. Pleasantly so, we might add. SCEE are actually on their way to providing a decent PSN Store for their territory. We'd go so far as to say we are impressed. Now there's something we never thought we'd say ...

is this for real???
I'll actually turn on my PS3 just for the store update the first time this year..

There is only ONE PROBLEM in the current updates of europeans stores...The PsOne Games...they are only for the british store, the others europeans stores only have like 9-12, top max, it had been more then 3 months of updates that are irrealistic of the full european territories. We are not just England, and last one i check it is impossible to buy stuff from the british store, I can buy from any of other european stores and american store with my credit card, but the england store dont let it.

So...If anyone of SCEE sees this...Please...Put the PsOne games on the others stores...we dont need the information trasnlated...just the games...please...dont forget us...

Sadly, it's very complicated to do this. Licensing agreements are tough business, and Sony may not own the rights in all of these countries. Many European countries have oddball speech laws that even outlaw lots of games.

And what's with this story? The writier never expected to be impressed with the Playstation Store? What an outlandish level of bias! Surely not much of a fan of the PS3 to have never had any hope at all for its store! Yet another trollish FUD comment against Sony. It's a trend.

I'm not against sony,i like what they being doing to the store, it is sad that the home and little big planet get delay, but in the end they will be a icon of ps3. The sad point that i was reporting was the fact that the ps1 games dont get out in all the european stores, some of the stores didnt receive a single ps1 game since january. The law and rights in this countrys are not that close, the ps1 games that are coming out, all of them exist in there time fisically in these same countrys. The only thing is that it is sad dont have this option of buy, and the didnt check, because email i already send them to scee.

Lovin todays update! THE Haze video is a welcomed addition to my "ANYTHING HAZE" library. Keep up the great work! In addition, in response to the individual that claims to have powered up the most relevant, top of the line computer/HiDef BLU-RAY player/gaming system/mass media storage device available in todays marketplace for the first time this year! Simply put:HOGWASH! First off, your taking the time to learn of the update,and comment on it? Don't come over to our side spreading your "I GET CHARGED FOR EVERYTHING,I DON'T HAVE AS MANY PROCESSOR, EVERYTIME TECHNOLOGY GETS BETTER MICROSOFT INTRODUCES ANOTHER VERSIONOF THE 360 WHILE ALL THOSE PS3'ers HAVE TO DO IS RUN AN UPDATE" anger here!!! GO back to your HALO cave hater

Oh look, its a diehard PS3 fanboy.

You know what? My PS3 is only turned on at the moment for watching dvds/blu-rays on. Thats all. No games have me grabbed on the system.

However i will be downloading C&C Red Alert. I remember playing my friends copy of that on Ps1, and i have the sequel on PC somewhere.... and i have C&C 3 on, oh look, Xbox 360.

Popfrogs @ May 15th 2008 6:44PM

@IanC: Why are you even here?

Rowdehaj @ May 15th 2008 10:08AM

Best demo I've played in a while! What a delightful game.
