PixelJunk Eden? AWESOME!
Been playing the US demo for a couple of days and can highly recommend it, £4.99 for a cool little game with trophy support - bargain!
Please SCEE, keep this up now!

I dont see "Life with Playstation"
everyone was thinking that since it wasnt on the firmware update that maybe it would be on the Sotre updates today.........
well not seeing it here really is showing me Sony failed to deliver on it coming out this month.......
DelSource @ Jul 31st 2008 8:46AM
"Sack David Reeves!"
Amen to that.
Off topic, I found out something very interesting today. You probably already know all of this, but I was stunned:
1. The Ghostbusters IP is owned by Sony.
2. Sony Pictures sold the license for gaming to Vivendi instead of passing it over to their own colleagues SCE for a PS-brand exclusive.
3. The game is now in limbo and looking for a publisher.
If you ever need proof that Sony are the masters of their own demise, this is it. Staggering. Who needs MS stealing your big exclusives when you give them away yourself......

Life with Playstation has been present since the FW update is it not? Haven't chcked it myself but when you look at the globe in folding @ home you can zoom in on an area and read about the local news.
Eggy @ Jul 31st 2008 9:25AM
For the rest of the retards posting, get a life.

@Eggy.....
Life with Playstation is a SEPARATE Program.....
it is suppose to be SIMILAR to Folding at home in the aspect of the earth background......but it will have LIVE weather as well.........
when I looked at my folding @ home this morning I didnt see any of that

I'm happy EU citizen now :) I'll be buying Eden as soon as I can
ymmv @ Jul 31st 2008 7:34AM
Hmm... why are the Brits paying less for PixelJunk Eden than the rest of Europe?
warlock7 @ Jul 31st 2008 7:57AM
Probably due to the pound being more valuable than the euro.
Brodie-san @ Jul 31st 2008 7:58AM
Hey ymmv,
Well, £4.99 = €6.33
How are they paying less when the euro price is €7.99 ?
It doesn't matter though as, once again, you can not simply convert currencies and decry a foul when it transpires one region is paying more/less than another.
Apart from the usual excuses of tax and shipping (and all that noise) prices are set by the market. Supply and Demand. Someone smarter than you or I worked out that at X price in Y region profit would be maximised. Et voila! That's the price you get.
ymmv @ Jul 31st 2008 8:19AM
Brodiesan,
As you said £4.99 = €6.33 so the Brits ARE indeed paying less for the game since the rest of Europe pays €7.99 Please don't talk about the laws of supply and demand or prices set by the market, since there's only one place where you can buy the game. The only way around it is by creating multiple PSN user accounts for international online stores with fake addresses but there's a good chance your credit card won't be accepted abroad.
Eggy @ Jul 31st 2008 11:03AM
Well you can look at standards of living and income. Which are in general higher for Europeans then for Americans.
mint400 @ Aug 1st 2008 3:28PM
@Eggy
Technically, Britain is not a part of the US.
Mike @ Jul 31st 2008 7:54AM
Cos we won the war!
laughingmantom @ Jul 31st 2008 7:59AM
The first new 'Movement' video shows up as corrupted data and wont play. I didn't bother with the others in case they are the same. I don't normally knock SCEE, but surely you would check that videos on the Playstation Store are Playstation compatable?!?
Jay @ Jul 31st 2008 8:04AM
Hmm, I didn't pay over four hundred squids for a console so I could play games my mobile phone could easily handle.
Thumbs @ Jul 31st 2008 8:13AM
Don't buy it then.
Jay @ Jul 31st 2008 8:28AM
@Thumbs: Er, yeah....okay.... [rolls eyes]
My implied point, genius, was that I'd rather Sony and their devs put more effort into "bigger" games. You know, things that justify an investment of over £400 in high-powered, HD hardware, the use of a 50GB disc and a seven-core processor which can run an IBM supercomputer.
That is NOT too much, or wrong, to ask. Or indeed, expect.
Nathanical @ Jul 31st 2008 9:02AM
@Jay:
and what of Killzone 2? resistance 2? LBP? Motorstorm PR? Socom confrontation? Wipeout HD?...etc?! its not like sony arnt investing in AAA games! i think games like PJE and other PSN titles are great, theyre reinventing the joys of oldschool gaming that had gotten lost as game-tech progressed!
Jay @ Jul 31st 2008 9:10AM
@Nathaniel,
Yes, what of them? Most are delayed.
Nathanical @ Jul 31st 2008 9:42AM
what of them? they exist thats what. You basically said in your last post that Sony arnt investing in "bigger" games, but instead choose to focus on "smaller" ones. You dont have to like the PSN games that are coming out, but to say that Sony arnt investing in "bigger" titles is just plain ignorant.
Chris @ Jul 31st 2008 2:49PM
Jay you have a point about them all being delayed, and I begrudge Sony that too, but as it's intended to be a multimedia console, that implies different kinds of features.
Also for what they're worth, it's a great deal! I've spent more hours playing Super Stardust than I have Resistance. You must try that game if you haven't already. It's only 7 or 8 pounds - the price of a pizza! It's not like you lose out much if you don't like it.

Unfortunately for your dishonest self, this isn't what Jay said. If you cannot understand the difference between what he said and what you just made up, may I politely suggest you stop talking to people?
James @ Jul 31st 2008 8:12AM
Does Eden change a lot as the levels go on, the demo went from addicting to repetitive fast, and I'm worried that it's not worth the $10.
carlo @ Jul 31st 2008 9:21AM
stil no eden in USA? i have a USA account and still no EDEN!?
MikeAitch @ Jul 31st 2008 9:25AM
Since when did addicting become a word!? Surely you mean addictive. Stop effing with the english language illiterate scum
Echnaton @ Jul 31st 2008 3:43PM
I'd love to see you write a correct sentence in a foreign language ... so stop this ....
jrnolasco @ Jul 31st 2008 11:07AM
i know it's out in Europe and all, but i thought it was coming to the US today too. this kinda blows.
stoo @ Jul 31st 2008 11:24AM
Store updates happen on Thursday.
Thursday is earlier in Europe than in North America.
Be patient.
HAAS599 @ Jul 31st 2008 11:10AM
U.S. store update at roughly 4:30pm central time and sometimes later.
jrnolasco @ Jul 31st 2008 11:15AM
im just saying because usually in eastern time things are usually up a little after the clock stikes 12am
John S @ Jul 31st 2008 12:13PM
Did you just get a PS3? The US store NEVER updates on a Thursday when the clock strikes 12am. Wait until the afternoon man.
satans_93 @ Jul 31st 2008 12:00PM
will there be any Trophy Guide for this game?
Echnaton @ Jul 31st 2008 3:43PM
This game is really worth the money ...
The Dark Trooper @ Jul 31st 2008 4:05PM
Blast! Where is 1942 Joint Strike!
Max @ Aug 1st 2008 4:12AM
its 5 pm, any idea what time it'll be updated? im very anxious to get this damn game!!
the_culture @ Jul 31st 2008 5:42PM
I hope we get Madden 09 today. Its available on Xbox Live
