Little Big PSN ID: johnnynumber5 @ Jan 8th 2009 5:15PM
Exactly what I was going to say ..
WHERE IS SAVAGE MOON???
Tom @ Jan 8th 2009 5:18PM
I echo that statement as well. Europe has had the freakin' game for weeks now!
glitched @ Jan 8th 2009 5:38PM
me to!
Daviesifier @ Jan 8th 2009 6:33PM
I've got it and got 100% trophies on it. At first it seemed very difficult, but once you've mastered one level, you've mastered them all. It's quite repetitive, in that one strategy works for pretty much the whole game. I'd recommend it, but it's not amazing, I certainly wouldn't get too excited about it.
Kattleox @ Jan 8th 2009 8:01PM
I would like to replace "Savage Moon" with "GTI Club"
WHERE IS MY GTI CLUB+???!?

FireLord91 @ Jan 9th 2009 5:19AM
Haha! Guess you americans will have to wait longer, you know, like us europeans have to do for everything else. Like SSF2THDR, most demos, our version of Qore, game spaces in Home etc.
C-Onor @ Jan 8th 2009 5:07PM
cool, i think i might get mahjong tales, it looks pretty good
Lars @ Jan 8th 2009 7:10PM
How is it better than a free web based version or something? I'm curious because $10 seems kinda steep for a Mahjong game.
C-Onor @ Jan 9th 2009 3:21PM
i just like playing mahjong and i'd like a version for my ps3
Zab @ Jan 8th 2009 5:15PM
what a bummer, no new demos or anything :( wheres my RE5
-.- @ Jan 8th 2009 5:13PM
i want cuboid but i guess i have to be american and not english to play it...ahwell...guess i cant
Churro @ Jan 8th 2009 6:39PM
If you want to play it, go on Google and look for Bloxorz. It's the exact same game except it's free and doesn't have those pretty backgrounds, but hey! It's free. =p
Dan Davis @ Jan 8th 2009 5:46PM
Where are the Roy Orbison tracks???
Daniel @ Jan 8th 2009 5:30PM
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES SVR Update finally!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!! THANK YOU THQ!!!
Julian @ Jan 8th 2009 8:11PM
What the heck is up with Savage Moon? I can't even buy stuff off the Euro store any more with my CC because the "Country" area is locked to Europe! I thought it was supposed to be out everywhere before end of LAST year?! I want that game!
DeforMAKulizer @ Jan 8th 2009 5:29PM
Savage moon!!! =(
John S @ Jan 8th 2009 5:34PM
Would have been perfect if the Skate 2 demo came out today...=/
Ghost inthe Shell @ Jan 8th 2009 5:57PM
when is bomber man coming out? i thought i read a wile back that it was sapose to come out before christmass of last year.
WiFi Pirate @ Jan 8th 2009 5:42PM
Why does Rock Revolution get the Pantera track pack??
mixer23 @ Jan 8th 2009 7:00PM
Rock Revolution is 99% cover songsand 100% are nothing like the originals which equals 100% crap... So don't get too upset over this
yamerias @ Jan 9th 2009 4:18AM
I must admit I'm surprised these were evenm going to be on this game the way it has been universally panned by almost everyone.
Slaytan @ Jan 8th 2009 5:47PM
something is wrong when Rock Revolution gets Pantera tracks and RB doesn't
xtole @ Jan 8th 2009 5:51PM
That's because RB sucks.
Metal Ash @ Jan 8th 2009 10:40PM
You Said It!!
Where's my RB/GH Pantera track pack!?!?!? =(
yamerias @ Jan 9th 2009 4:22AM
xtole, if you think Rock Band sucks, you have some serious issues dude...especially if you are comparing it to Rock Revoultion.
Hopefully there will be Pantera DLC later for Rock Band.
Tommy @ Jan 8th 2009 6:03PM
Pantera 5 pack for Rock Revolution?!?! Harmonix, how did you drop the ball on this one?! Let's get that into Rock Band ASAP!
HardBoiled2009 @ Jan 8th 2009 6:18PM
that's awesome ... i'm glad Mahjong has come out .. i can't wait too buy it
Eric T @ Jan 8th 2009 6:37PM
Well, I've got to say I'm a bit disappointed. Why don't people actually release a real Mahjong game for the US? This solitaire crap is not mahjong. At least not the traditional poker game, I'm used to playing.
Lars @ Jan 8th 2009 7:11PM
They exist in the US, but solitaire is just much more popular.
Juthan @ Jan 8th 2009 6:38PM
I got excited when I saw that Pantera pack...and then I saw it was for Rock Revolution.
/sigh
The1stMJC @ Jan 8th 2009 6:46PM
I want Pantera on Rockband I dont see Walk or Cowboys From Hell so there is still hope.
Kinsey @ Jan 8th 2009 6:49PM
Why the Hell is Pantera DLC on Rock Revolution?
It belongs in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero.
That is the most backwards thing I've seen in a long time.
Roto13 @ Jan 8th 2009 6:57PM
No free LBP costume this week. :( I started feeling entitled to it.
Tommy @ Jan 8th 2009 7:02PM
Wait a second... On the PSN, it says "The Pantera Pack includes COVER versions of ... MADE FAMOUS BY Pantera." I'm still bummed these aren't in Rock Band, but this softens the blow a little.
Tonbo @ Jan 8th 2009 7:23PM
How about an earlier heads up on the price changes? Like the week before, please?!
Tonbo @ Jan 8th 2009 7:28PM

I rarely play rock band anymore, but I'll still buy a song on sale if it's any good.
Fane @ Jan 10th 2009 6:41PM
I posted on the blog, complaining about that.
Nowhere did I see any indication that the $.99 price was temporary. Bad business practice.
Not that the extra buck is a great hardship--it's just the principle.
Overgauss @ Jan 8th 2009 7:56PM
IMO 10 dollars is waaay too much for a 3 dollars and 80 cents game.
With appropriate pricing many more people would buy these titles "on a whim" and generate even more company profits.
Who do they think they are fooling? Does the demand really justify these prices or is there some sort of pricing business pricing psychology going on here.
The machine is costlier and the titles are costlier than other offerings, so where exactly are the consumer savings, when interacting with the free PSN has such blatant sights on ones wallet?
Oh wait. This is the era of boundless consumerism. Carry on. Things can only get better.
Popfrogs @ Jan 8th 2009 8:26PM
Don't like it, don't buy it. In a consumer-led world, people buying $5 games constantly and rarely buying $10 games sends a message.
Jonathan @ Jan 8th 2009 10:21PM
Maybe their product managers found that there wasn't enough people willing to buy the game at $5 to make up the difference? If 10,000 people are willing to buy the game at $5 but only 6,000 people are willing to buy the game at $10, they're still better off selling the game at $10. They would have to sell at least twice as many copies at $5 than they would have at $10.
But I'm sure you already knew that and your rant was not only justified but completely informed.
Overgauss @ Jan 8th 2009 7:58PM
-1 pricing = savings for you, and more grammatical sense for me.
secondsfromfame @ Jan 8th 2009 9:52PM
still impatiently awaiting Valkyria Chronicles DLC
Wat up Homie!! @ Jan 9th 2009 9:27AM
i want more playable & supporting characters in Naruto
Jerry J @ Jan 9th 2009 10:51AM
Um... wasn't the Mercenaries stuff FREE just a few days ago?
Fane @ Jan 10th 2009 6:59PM
Yes, but--unlike the Rock Band tracks--they said it would only be free for a short time.
jj @ Jan 9th 2009 1:09PM
I'd still llike to know who pays for Qore? You can't complain about Live pricing if you're paying for videos that would be free to all on 360. Maybe they shouldn't have released the free episode, as it really showed me just how lame the whole thing was. You can't even use a remote to watch it, you have to use a controller and install it like a game, totally bogus.
AgentLemon @ Jan 15th 2009 9:00PM
Seriously getting pissed about Savage Moon. I could care less if people in Europe have not gotten Street Fighter. You cant play the 300th version of Street Fighter 2 to come out since the early 90's :'( I get a confirmed release date for Savage Moon every fucking week. The only official comment on Savage Moon was it wasn't quite ready yet. Ready enough to be on every other fucking PS store for weeks.
