Thanks for the info but it was posted nearly an hour ago.

Not having a go at the OP, but do we need a new thread for this stuff each week?

**noethix** · 03-13-2008

What's wrong with posting the updates? I think it's a cool thread anyway.

**higrob24** · 03-13-2008

Still no PAIN! what gives. Whats keeping them so long. Over on the Pain page its says they are making an intrernational version, but why cant we just have the us version at least in the countries where the main language is English

**Varsh** · 03-13-2008

Pain isn't that good, why are people wanting to waste their money and bandwidth on it anyway?

Nothing wrong with it but conversely, what's the point in having an Official PSN Update Sticky then?

NM, carry on, I'd rather see a new thread get cluttered with complaints than the Sticky.

**Mizanin** · 03-13-2008

Once again another lame update at least give us a PSX game

**DeanoIV** · 03-13-2008

Yeah what's wrong with these threads? I find it much easier to see what's in the store if I can't access my PS3 by coming and seeing these threads. I'd rather have an individual thread for the update cause it's easier to find than the other thread where you have to search through the pages to find the update.

**noethix** · 03-13-2008

I think that sticky is for all the pre-update speculators + the guys who ask what's in the store before anything is known.

**coolposs** · 03-13-2008

is this the actual update? or just what you've heard?

bit dissapointed tbh with the updates over the past 3 weeks

**Ishimaru Kaito** · 03-13-2008

man no demos this week either, hope US does

**IONIXX** · 03-13-2008

better than nothin i guess,

**coolposs** · 03-13-2008

But just Guitar hero updates? crap tbh....gonna sound like some of these annoying ranters but...we need demos and some trailers :S

**KatanaKing** · 03-13-2008

crappy Firmware update and a crappy PSN update, just another week in Europe.

Comatosed · 03-13-2008

Yet again, another worthless update by Sony. Good job I'm happy playing warhawk at the mo

I used to really look forward to these updates, but it's been so dry recently. I just hope they're putting their energy and time into Home or a new layout for the PSStore. Maybe, just maybe.

**TheMack82** · 03-13-2008

How many more weeks are we going to have basically naff all, who was actually happy with the content?

When I bought my PS3 it was sold to me with the information that regular store updates would be in place offering the latest content, ******!

If the latest content is some poxy songs on a game most people dont have and a trailer for a game that NO ONE will buy, then someone aint doing their job cos this is ****! Im starting to regret selling my XBOX at least they delivered on their promises, PSN need to sort this out as its gonna start losing customers!

**Linchy** · 03-13-2008

Actually, XBL has had no demos for the past 2-3 weeks either. The last one was Frontlines.

So its pretty much just a drought of Game Demos.

But yeah, im getting sick of the 3-4 item updates they are giving us in the EU.

agreed, there updates lack something new, i'm tired of getting things for games that i don't have. so i really hope there is something new in the US update

**cool6611** · 03-13-2008

man its been more than a month, we r getting these updates without demos ,,,,,,,, wtf ???????????????

**JNiC48** · 03-13-2008

I wonder why they can't get you guys Pain among other things, why are they so behind the US store?

**TheDude** · 03-13-2008

This is getting worse every week!

I cant believe Sony doesnt want us to play demos or buy there games?

I haven't even been on my PS3 to play a game in months!

**RMoore** · 03-13-2008

Just wanted to chime in and ask this.
How many countries are in the PAL reigon/Europe?
How many languages are in that area. Each one has a seperate set of laws,etc.
I know this causes issues because one company I know always releases games months before in the US before they hit Europe.Due to laws,VO,etc.
I do wish you guys would get more of the PS1 titles which are already in the PAL format and could be uploaded.

**Dark_Light** · 03-13-2008

Another bad update for us Euros'. At least we are getting regular guitar hero songs now, but it's not much good for people who don't have the game.

Quoted from an email I sent to SCEE.

I understand from your e-mail that you feel aggrieved with some differences between the UK PlayStation Store and that of other territories.

When managing the PS Store, SCEE aims to provide consistent content experiences, globally. In some cases we, in Europe, are first to publish content, however, we do publish some content later than the Japanese, American and Korean Stores.

The reasons for this are varied as I am sure you can imagine with each piece of content having to go through procedures ranging from Quality Assurance to legal approvals.

In addition, Europe is subject to a far greater degree of language and content localisation (SCEE manages 21 Store fronts in 8 languages and 11 currencies) than in other territories which must be taken into account.

I'm guessing, like you, that one delay in any one of the PAL countries will delay content to the other stores.
