Wow. How about that - it's past midnight in the UK and there's been no European releases post. Well it's not exclusively our fault - while the
Uncharted demo may have kept us busy for the past hour or so, the fact that the PSN Store was inaccessible also contributed. It's taken us until now to get the exact information for today's PSN update, but we finally have. Here's the complete release list:
- Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online (£14.99)
- Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online Upgrade (£3.49)
- Cool Boarders PS1 game (£3.49)
- NFS: PROSTREET demo (free)
- Folklore "Bottom of the sea" pack (£1.49)
- Motorstorm "Devil's Weekend" pack (£3.99)
- Uncharted "Animation Overview" trailer (free)
- PSP Shapes Your World trailer (free)
Not a bad wee update. Certainly nothing as impressive as the previous couple of weeks, but
Tekken 5 fans will certainly be happy.
Cool Boarders is a nice wee extra along with the add-on packs for
Folklore and
Motorstorm. Be sure to check out the "PSP Shapes your World" trailer - it may look like an IKEA advert to begin with, but give it a chance.
For those of you upset about the
Uncharted demo debacle, take solace in the knowledge that we will be receiving it within the next few weeks. Until then, we have actual
games to be getting along with -
Call of Duty 4 and
Ratchet and Clank both get released tomorrow. Er, make that
today.

So, Folklore expansions are already coming out?
...
...
I'm trying to figure out whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, where's the US counterpart. Then again, it's about time that Europe feels a little more love from Sony.

Sara, is totally right!
Sony should really care more about European customers and services.
Furthermore, the overall look and concept of the current store has to be re-thought! I'd like a more fluent and nicely designed e-shop!
I totally understand that demos are coming out later than in the US or Asia, when the release dates differ, but I totally disagree with the huge quantitative difference of content between the stores!
Furthermore, why is it "country-dependent" (in Europe) whether you receive content or not? I mean they usually have several weeks to translate stuff from the US or Asian game versions to major European tongues, because of the later release!?
Come on Sony, it shouldn't be that difficult to get a good and efficient translation team! It's a joke, when you see the PSN releases later. Demos are often only subtitled, there's even not much to translate in the mini-games (Stardust, Flow, etc.), and PS1 titles do already have f-ing dubs in other languages!
Since, we do also pay more (>price) than the American customers, we should probably get a decent service too!
I mean Sony is letting themselves go in Europe!
Sony, Sony, Sony, ... the time when Nintendo didn't sell consoles and XBox was just not "good" or "cool" enough to compete with your products (PS2) is over!
Get yourself together!!!

am i the only one who bought tekken 5 dr online upgrade and can't download it?.
i press the download button and nothing happens. wtf?!? all the other downloads (even the purchased ones) are working perfectly. and yes, i bought tekken 5 dr when it came out the first day in europe, so i think i should be qualified to download only the upgrade.
so are there other girls and boys out there who have the same problem with the european version?
