European PSN update for April 15th
Posted Apr 15th 2008 1:30AM by Andrew Yoon
Filed under: PlayStation Store
Europeans can also find a few new surprises on the PLAYSTATION Store today, thanks to the magic of
firmware 2.30.
Demos:
- SEGA Superstars Tennis demo (free)
Game Add-ons:
- Super Stardust HD Solo Add-on Pack (£2.99)
This upgrade pack for Super Stardust HD requires the original game. It will add new game modes: Endless, Survival, Bomber and Time Attack. Arcade Mode now features the Easy difficulty. A new Retro soundtrack has been added. [Editor's Note: It is incredibly awesome. A must-buy for fans of Super Stardust HD.]
- Guitar Hero III Dropkick Murphys pack (free)
Three songs from the Dropkick Murphys: "Famous for Nothing," "Flannigan's Ball," and "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya." All for a great price.
Videos
- Bionic Commando Rearmed trailer (free)
- Lost Planet trailer 2 (free)
- SEGA Superstars Tennis trailer (free)
Stay tuned for this
Thursday's update -- it includes
Metal Gear Online!

I'm in the UK and I've downloaded the Stardust Update but it doesn't seem to have changed the game for me. I'm still only getting the Arcade & Planet mode options and nothing else. I've re-downloaded and re-installed the update but still no joy...
Help?

I think the EU store still needs to settle in. Most images don't load. And some people are complainaing about missing the demo/trailer button.

WARNING - The PAL Super Stardust update is BROKEN. The unlock key fails to initialize the update. Wait until Sony fixes this issue before buying update.

Information that would have been useful before I'd forked out on it.
Hopefully they'll fix and replace for free.

The update is fine, you need to install the 3.0 game update after buying the upgrade key. It then works fine.

Bummer...! I hope they fix it soon.. I was really looking forward to playing! Too bad they didn't test this before releasing it onto the store for people to buy!

Guys problem fixed.. for us guys that jumped in early to buy the addon straight when the new store came on.. There was a delay of around 4 hours untill sony updated the game to version 3. Great work Sony for fixing the problem ASAP! If you are still having trouble try restarting the PS3. Cheers guys

nope..i live in belgium and am seeing the european PSN store. the language is set to dutch and i know that i cant see everything because for example, i dont see the lair update that US gamers have in their store. also, when u click a game say super stardust, it gives me the option to add to cart and something else (i have to go back downstars to check i cnt remembr) but it doesnt give me possibility to preview the game aka watch a trailer of the game

What the arent are multi region. You still only see the store relevant to your territory. But you can still make additional US and Jap accounts to view the other stores. There is no change there.

They have also finally put the PSP games up on the EU PS3 store! I can now download Syphon Filter: Combat Ops!
Took them long enough.

Gah... Sony still didn't fix the problem of Mature-rated games in the german Playstation Store.
I hoped it will come along with the relaunch.
And I think the german store is missing some more demos the UK store has (can't find the skate demo for example).
