Weekly Playstation Store Update thread

JOKE OVER

It was not up. I was "kidding".

I will post for real when it is. (Probably at 10pm, same time as USA update, and same time as new GTA IV trailer is on the web and PSN (and most probably XBL) (I think).

p.s. Whappers = Sucka :)

Pretty pathetic really, missing the downloadable release date of their biggest release so far this year?

The excuses in the morning will be funny. Granted most people will but it in store, but by my count every person that walks into a shop tomorrow and buys the disc because they could not get the game on PSN a day early (as per all the advertising) is £3-£4 pounds profit lost per customer. (considering online price is 24.99 and does not include physical media, manuals, retailers cut etc).

This is Madness!!

Ok, so I have checked this morning and it still hasn't been updated... maybe they are holding back until the retail version is in shops because of the flak they received from releasing Warhawk on PSN before retail?

Ah well, just going to have to watch the new GTAIV trailer again to cheer myself up :(

Maybe they delayed the downloadable version to allow the disc buyers to update their game? (I think they need to do that even though it's a disc)
 
pretty big joke if you ask me.

I was willing to get it off PSN because it meant i might get it sooner, and be less hassle.

However, turns out that instead of getting it earlier, i'm getting it later, and when i do get it the premium i'll be paying (no distribution or packaging) is for a late product that is inferior.

generally defend Sony, but this is ridiculous (as a consumer and in terms of business sense - think how many people would've bought this say on wednesday off of PSN through impatience? Game must be ready by then to press and ship BDs)
 
Is there anywhere I can get the european update news. I don't have a US account.

Don't mention entropay as I've given up with them.
