we need to start a petition, the last few updates in par with other stores is an absolute outrage, anyone with me?
We've gotten Pixeljunk Eden, Elefunk and Siren just recently, in addition to quite a few demos, doesn't matter if they have a quiet week now. I'd rather save my money for the soon-to-be-released Quest For Booty expansion pack that's coming 20th of August (or sometimes then) than get some not-that-good PSN game now, not that interested in Tiger Woods demo either.

The ps store has always been really bad on content and i doubt it will get any better soon!

HERE HERE to that mate. Its unacceptable the way the UK gets shafted because of localisation issues. Simple solution is merge the US store into the UK, after all we speak the same language don't we? Microsoft can do it so why can't SCEE get the picture?!

yes exactly, and not only would it make us happy, but surly it would be a less work load for them therefore more convenient. i just hope it changes sooner then later and they quit pushing us aside
I gotta say, I don't see what the big deal with the SCEE store is...
I sat back and took stock of it the other day and there is a heck of a lot of content on it. Tons of trailers and videos, a lot of demos and quite a bit of DLC.
What you're all forgetting is because you're expecting great stuff every week you're always going to be disappointed.
If you look at the weekly updates on XBL, it's the same thing...not a lot of content each week but it is updated two or three times a week though...but just with a few bits here and there.
We've had some brilliant updates the past few weeks and yeah this one may be a little light on content but in all honesty...who cares?
I have Soul Calibur to play, Uncharted to play again and Metal Gear Online to play...plus all the other great PS3 games I have...i don't have time for demos of Tiger woods new (re-hash) game...and if i had bought Civ:Rev for the PS3 I would have been really happy...but i'll have to get that off of XBL.
Imagine if you had just bought your PS3...you would have a wealth of exceptional content to download...you're only so sceptical because you've bene downloading it all for a while now and you want demos, DLC and free stuff every week.
Rant over...

Here's hoping for something at Leipzig but I doubt I will hold my breath!
@above, You are entitled to your opinion but I don't agree with it. We can leave it at that.
This surely can't be all of it! But this is what is up now:
Demos
Secret Agent Clank Demo (PSP)

Where is the Tiger Woods demo and other content? Four things is lame. I am seriously at breaking point with SCEE!
Why can't it be all of it? Europe always gets shafted. SONY and their PS3, with me being in Europe, is partly the reason why my console hasn't been switched on for over two weeks!

Awesome, might have to pick up the Secret Agent Clank Demo (PSP)... only just got my PSP and been considering picking this title up, so will be good to give it a try 8)
ye we did got them, but so did the rest of the stores and they get so much more everytime, more demos, more ps1 games and more games to buy
My point was that let's just see what the US store gets today. It might not be too much better, maybe a few more movie/Bluray trailers but that's probably it. And be happy that we have also gotten the three great games and keep playing them.

Uhh... PixeljunkEden and Siren, both awesome games, were just released in Europe too... If you don't like them, it's your loss, but SCEE has released a couple of great games in the PS Store within the last 2-3 last weeks. So it's pretty much your own choice if you have decided to not play them, not because Sony hasn't released any games.
And if you're that upset about the EU Store, GET A FREAKIN' US STORE ACCOUNT. It takes you 3 minutes to put up one and after that you have access to all this so-called "wonderous" US Store content (which really, is almost the same as EU Store but with more movie trailers of movies no one gives a **** about).

Although i live in NA, I really think SCEE should step up their level of content in the EU store, its a real disgrace at times!

why don't they just cancel the whole EUR PSN as it is obviously crap, just use the US one....
People really need to stop moaning about the PSN.
Siren only came out a couple of weeks ago. I've barely touched that because Uncharted got patched so I'm now playing that again. I picked up Assassin's Creed at the weekend and barely played that either. I'm also looking to replay Resistance soon as well, warming up for R:2. Somewhere in all that MGS4 will probably get trophies and get me back on that.
I haven't even got as far as buying PixelJunk yet. Or even full games like BAd Company.
If people think the EU PSN updates have stopped them turning on their PS3 for weeks they obviously have far too much free time on their hands are exhausting the content too quickly, go read a book or take or walk or something! There's plenty going on for me.

far enough as its your opion, but why stop moaning when other stores have already got more, getting more and get stuff weeks before we do, its cant be that much effort to give all the stores the same things, so why stop complaining when we clearly being thobed off, and as for you replaying games and what not and playing other things, maybe people dont think like you and what to buy psn games as there cheap and great fun, i also love getting the ps1 games but we hardly have any of them!

Not another damned petition THEY DON'T WORK !!
EDIT: The only reason that NA gets such great updates is because the have a BLOG to yap on but SCEE hasn't even given us that !!
i live in Australia and i dont even bother looking at the pal store, its so ****tt. lol..i just stick to the NA store

Hmm Ill probably pick the civ expansion up once theres another content that I need to get. I dont want to raise 5€ just to buy 1€ expansion :x
Rather poor update tough :/
Man I feel sorry for the people in EU, you guys rarely get a good update... =/

Not that'd I'd expect a decent update, ever, but this... They REALLY need to start getting some content out.
Oh and the Information Board has had the same articles for like 3 weeks now. There's got to be SOMETHING else to put on there, no matter what it is, just something to show that SCEE actually have working employees....

I'm disappointed there's no Tiger Woods 09 demo. I was looking forward to that. I guess it was just a rumour.

I bet they're laughing when they give us these really bad updates.
Obviously they know its bad so they must be doing it on purpose.
To be honest both updateds across consoles and regions arnt very impressive..... i mean road rash wud have been an awesome re release.
Not a very good update this week. Wasn't there supposed to be a Tiger Woods demo?
Another sensational PAL store. Seriously WTF is going on with the store downloads? If there is one grip I have with Sony it's this. It's so frustrating.
