At least you can look at it this way: Releasing things in the EU store after releasing them in the US is their way of catching up.
It would still be a h*** of a lot better to have a more unified system--one store to rule them all, right? But I think it's because they have so many different, independent divisions: SCEA, SCEE, SCEJ... it has its advantages and, in this case, disadvantages. At least, as I've noticed, they're no all that strict in trying to catch people with multi-region accounts. I think they're a bit more forgiving in that sense, since they know people want their stuff.

I dont' say, "Sony, don't make any effort", we, the europeans customer, are the ones you're the most happy with (sales number, higher price and so on), just continue to make us lagg behind NTSC as ever.
But that's the thing since.. ages (I'm 31). ANd I presume PSU's users are mostly hardcore gamer isn't it ? I ever imported any console, just for the sake of the 50Hz fiasco (slower, bordered games.. un-imaginable for me).
So we got crap console, unplayable game runing 20-25% slower than originaly.
But, what, 5% of the gamers knew it. the 95 other % didn't knew it and, apparently, were happy with completely sh**t and cr**¨p games and console !
my point is, if you're a harcore gamer, you find way to be satisfed (sorry my english). so for the moment, you create an US account.
that's for the 5% of hardcore gamers. the 95% else just is happy with the PAL Store, as they don't know there is more in other place.
make sens? but again, I don't say to not be critique vs Sony.

Its really not sonys fault for relasing things at different times for different countries. EU has different proccesses for aproving material than the US, and some material (Like Manhunt 2 for instance) may not get approved or will have to be changed, like it did, to get approved. im sure if it were up to sony, there wouldnt be any "Regional Codes'

I know it can be tough waiting on something you just want and that's it, but you gotta see it from a numbers aspect, there are millions of clients to satisfy, and Sony wants it done right, just bare with it for a while and I'm sure with time they'll iron out the kinks and make all loyal Sony-lovin' Patrons happy. Just look at how much they listen to the community already, what with all the Firmware upgraded addons they've been throwing at us and there are still more to come too. Trust me when I say this, Sony would want support from the consumer community and not just the money.

LOL well the problem isnt that really that they need to change the game much or anything for them to be accepted. Look at Manhunt 2 the nethelands took it as it is they dont care. The problem with europe is simply that is consists of so many country's all with they're own rules and stores in different languages. That means a lot of extra work...you would think a regular european would know this just like i do. Why complain? they are doing A LOT of extra work to even bring out ANYTHING in Europe! The least you can do is stop complaining and accept the love they do give!

It's cool but why do they even ask money for this. In one week you could make a game in flash that's exactly the same... Just like the motorstorm stuff, you invert a track, modify it a bit, ask money for it,... ask money per car you add..., sounds a bit cheap (lol cheap) to me...
