why is the PSN Store region coded?, I cant download a Thing on it and there is a lot of good stuff there like the new warhawk add on

and I think the sales of the would be a lot better around here if the PS Store would accept Credit card from Mexico and other countries

because I know a lot of people who rather buy another console (xbox360) because it supports our country

please sony, we people at Mexico want downloadable content too!!

I’m not sure who handles the marketing/advertising for PS3 system and games, but I found something that concerned me.

Being the holiday season, retail stores have been sending out brochures advertising different products from all sorts of vendors. What concerned me most was what I found in, not one but two separate brochures from different retail stores, the method used to advertise PS3 and 360 games.

Each was provided their own section for the console and price as well as some of the top games for each console. Though the information was accurate, some important details for the less educated consumer was left out.

Only the 80GB PS3 was listed at the $499 price mark without any info as to the lower end model being available which compares very well to the competitors pricing. This is very important information that needs to be included in every advertising outlet.

The more concerning issue, was how the games were listed. Under the PS3 section, some exclusives were listed along with games that are available on both platforms. Next to the multiplatform games reads text “PS3 & XBOX 360″. Under the 360 section, like the PS3′s, both exclusive and multiplatform titles were listed. Though, for the 360 multiplatform games, there was no indication that they were indeed also available for the PS3. This is misleading information that would lead the uninformed consumer to think that these games can only be found on the XBOX 360.

Something needs to be done about the method used to advertise PS3 games.
