Can’t believe people are still moaning about updates! I think you’d have thought by now you just accept it’ll be crap then anything better than that is a bonus!

I’d had enough of my PS3 and Sony and picked up a 360 at xmas and havent really looked back since, the PS3 is a slow burner but come on!

As for the delay between regions well, that’s been happening since PS1 days and while it’s a pain in the ass all you can do is accept it, better still write to SCEE instead and ask them directly what the problem is!

What a … ah never mind.

Given up complaining, I’ll just continue to get my content from the US store, like have been doing for the last 6 months.

Really dont care about the PSN anymore, nice one SCEE. I’ll just wait for that Â£40 “demo” of Gran Turismo 5 to come out instead…

@37 threespeech

that would be greatly appreciated. I’m as dissapointed as anyone with the lack of quality game sthat have already been released in america for months (everyday shooter, puzzlefighter, pain, castlevania ps1 et al) but why dont the online gaming press (eurogamer c&v, ign etc)do their jobs and investigate the issues SCEE are obviously having, and the frustratuions of the customers.

btw SONY can make millions of PS3 users happy,
by doing the following:
create 1 store on which all things get released in 1 time (no matter the language (japan/English)
update the content when languages are available,statisfying the remaining thousands.

it 2008 for in G0D’s name,not 1731

@28,

again since Demos on the US were already including the “obsolete” EU Languages,
again no reason to delay..

PAL requirement is solved by Hardware and is obsolete when on PLASMA /LCD (HDMI/VGA)
which the majority in the EU have anyway.

Agreed there appears to be no excuse for the looong wait for these titles.
(What I was refering to was the general delay of full price titles)

Im just as frustrated as you (if not more, seeing that Denmark has yet to see an update this week)

Erik, Every day shooter, Pain,advanced research have NO voice acting, they have a max of hundred words, have already been rated by PEGI and work on PAL tvs (when d/l) from the US store.

This does not explain why it has taken 6 months to get Every day shooter or Advance research out.

[...] Por otro lado, anunciar al que no lo sepa que la demo del juego desde ayer ya estÃ¡ disponible en la PS Store Europea, con una semana de retraso respecto a la japonesa y americana. [...]

I dont think the its techincal side of the conversion that takes the longest.

But rather the localization part. I think that Sony should be a bit more pragmatic when it comes to localization.
Both Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank featured danish voices.
The total population of Denmark is 5470919.
First of all, localizing to danish cannot have a good return of investment.
Secondly, it takes must prolong the process of preparing a game for a EU release.

Im shure the clever people at SCEE have thought of this, but perhaps they should look at thier process again.
