Hey Jeff, Can you *please* answer this question…
Ubisoft said that Fan Pack for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will be out on all platforms on July 3rd. So far I’ve seen that the other competitor, PC, and Europe/Japan PS store all got the map pack today(July 3rd)… and what I’ve seen that the pack isn’t available on the US store… Any word on why not specifically the US store? Any kind of answer would be appreciated, even saying that you dont comment on that issue or something. Thanks!

@31 djratchet
not really but it was pretty cool the only bad thing is that the computer actually lost. i wanted to keep testing my reflexes
153
gardea | July 3rd, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Mediocre update.
No demos, no new games… Just Qore. Qore is great, but I’m looking for new games or demos (PixelJunk Eden).
154
Jeigh | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Pretty awesome- and the Battlefield shorts are hilarious! XD Though the Killzone 2 trailer doesn’t really showcase the look of the game very well- I know this for a fact since even the low resolution clips I already have on my PS3 look better.
Great update. Thank you! :D
155
SignOfZodiac | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I believe that SONY is focusing on the wrong things to fast…
156
SignOfZodiac | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:11 pm
A lot of techincal problems still need addressing. Security for accounts and hardward. I have some detail Ideas that I will post on my lunch break..
157
SignOfZodiac | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Believe I have a great vision of Ideas..
158
psyXcho | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Why oh why do we have such weak updates… Throw us a bone already! Personally I would like to see a stardust HD bundle with the add on because I’ll be damned if I’m paying $17 for a Geo Wars knock off…
159
HinataWakabi | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 pm
I’m sorry for being to wanting :

CaptionLoken | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
nice update, a lot of trailers i havnt seen, and plz dont put many bluray movie trailers in, im sure the people who use the ps3 as a bluray player dont check the store, weres elefunk? oh and people who are disappointed with the no demos, wat games are there coming out this month? oh im thinking of getting qore, yay this my 3rd post
162
Stoffinator | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Sad that there are no demos, but I guess we can’t get them every week. ;-]
163
CaptionLoken | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
oh and i hope we have some good trailers from e3 the first or second week after it happens, cant wait for R2!
164
ftwrthtx | July 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pm
So still no sign of Rainbow Six Classic for the PS3/PSP but yet the Eu/UK/Au PSN’s received it weeks ago.
This is an American title to begin with, why are you still making us wait?
What about trophy support for games like Super Rub-a-Dub, Blastfactor, Go!Ski, Go! Skydiving, and Turbo Fighter?
165
tehhitman | July 4th, 2008 at 12:01 am
i am unaware if anyone else mentioned this, so therefore if they have i apologize,but i was wondering when we are geting the new map pack for vegas 2, we didnt even completely get it this store update, while england, prolly europe all together, did.
166
tehhitman | July 4th, 2008 at 12:03 am
also where is the force unleashed demo that was promised ’soon’ like 4 months ago, last time u said soon the update came like what 2 days later
167
espiox | July 4th, 2008 at 12:39 am
The PSN theme is great, except well, it’s broken.
The Internet Search icon is an ugly white circle, and each icon has a box behind it so that you can’t use anything but the standard wallpaper.
168
lukeb4dunk | July 4th, 2008 at 1:04 am
If it wasn’t for the fact that 2K and Firaxis refuses to implement Trophies into Civ Rev, I would have thought about getting the theme. But as it stands, I think I’ll just pass on the theme and the game itself.
169
CaptionLoken | July 4th, 2008 at 1:18 am
@168, still get the game, the trophies arnt a deciding factor are they?
170
Subzero_11 | July 4th, 2008 at 2:08 am
sweet another crap update, and the team expansion for SSHD still isn’t up
171
mcpeepants80 | July 4th, 2008 at 2:12 am
@Subzero_11
Agreed. I don’t understand what’s so great about this update that some of you are claiming. Nice, more videos. Well, back to MGS4. Love the Altair outfit.
172
alballam | July 4th, 2008 at 2:30 am
BOOOO
update the 2.40 status :\
173
chanskie | July 4th, 2008 at 3:15 am
Anybody able to help me? I have subscribe the 12 months of QORE…and now i dunno where to download the new release…..not in PSN store…anyone help pls???
174
rick_x | July 4th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Seriously this is how it’s going to go down from now on.
Qore = Old US PSN (plenty of demos and content).
No Qore = European PSN (old trailers, themes for games that have not been released in your region and demos for games that have been out for months).
Qore = Backdoor XBL gold no matter how you try to defend it
175
C-h-a-o-s | July 4th, 2008 at 3:41 am
@171
To some the small things like this update are what counts ie, videos and themes.
176
GAME-HERO | July 4th, 2008 at 3:58 am
@ 40 psn cards are already here, at least in the midwest at Meijer stores, i tried one and it works fine! whats this about a mini game when pressing L2???
ANOTHER GOOD UPDATE SONY, THANK YOU.
Happy 4th of july! See you on the PSN this holiday weekend!
PSN ID: GAME-HERO < ADD ME (NO XBOTS!)
177
kingv84 | July 4th, 2008 at 3:58 am
BEST UPDATE YET!!!! Thanks. Keep up the good work. “This Is Living” for sure.
KEEP ON BRINGing the great stuff Sony. Thanks
PS- Just being sarcastic. ;-)
178
kingv84 | July 4th, 2008 at 3:59 am
I work on a Military Base here in Wiesbaden, Germany and our military “PowerZone” store has the PSN Cards. $20 PSN Cards.
179
WHAT | July 4th, 2008 at 4:04 am
YES, I sent the Aliens home. Awesome Update.
180
ganez4life | July 4th, 2008 at 4:20 am
See all the exclusive demos that come in qore? Do us europeans not get them at all then?
181
03pseehra | July 4th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Does this mean that PSN will be unavailble for a short period of time..
182
Onna76_NL | July 4th, 2008 at 4:33 am
That Valkyria Chronicles teaser is amazing, I want that game! Still waiting for RPG’s on the PS3 :-(
183
Onna76_NL | July 4th, 2008 at 4:36 am
European store has a funny theme of Elefunk :-D Does this mean we can expect Elefunk pretty fast on PSN?
184
Iszk | July 4th, 2008 at 4:37 am
Terrible update, you may as well have skipped this week altogether. The PSone games difficulty excuse is running thin, Nintendo gets games every week, Microsoft gets Xbox originals every month, and we’re lucky to get one MEDIOCRE PSone game every three months. This isn’t about difficulty getting the games, it’s your retarded “staggered release” strategy.
Just watched Qore ep 2 on youtube btw, lol @ people who pay for that garbage. It’s nothing but an advert. Speaking of Xbox Originals, that feature will actually be surpassing the selection of PSone classics in North America soon, despite PSone classics being around about a year longer, and the quality overall is MUCH higher in their selection. (Not an opinion, a fact)Quit making excuses, and sticking by a strategy that anyone who isn’t a blubbering fanboy has told you doesn’t work.
We have three consoles to choose from, and your online store is factually the lowest quality of those three, do something about it.
185
grognard66 | July 4th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Very weak update. A bunch of videos and the option to pay for ads (Qore). Prediction - Qore will no longer exist by the end of this year or will be free (as it should be, considering there is no editorial independence thus making it strictly a marketing tool).
186
dan1066 | July 4th, 2008 at 4:39 am
when will europe get qore??
i want to do my bit to help keep psn free….put qore on the eu store we want the content too
187
Iszk | July 4th, 2008 at 5:04 am
@186
Buying qore doesn’t help keep PSN free, Qore is a backdoor XBL Gold. NOT buying qore keeps PSN free, as it should be, because it isn’t worth paying for on any level.
188
O_Braddock_O | July 4th, 2008 at 5:15 am
NO Qore for Europe then? :(
189
blizzard182 | July 4th, 2008 at 5:16 am
Nice. Lot of content this time around.
No Demos but for me it’s ok. The last month or two has been really great in term of games and now I have a lot to do.
Does anyone find out the training program of the Top Spin 3 Demo to be completely annoying?
190
scorpio | July 4th, 2008 at 5:25 am
Thank you, got my Qore….
191
unclemonty | July 4th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Noel: WipeoutHD? If it’s not coming yet, please at least tell us. People have been waiting months with absolutely no news.
Thanks.
192
womfalcs3 | July 4th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Was expecting the free Rainbow Six map pack too.
193
Wndrtwn1 | July 4th, 2008 at 5:53 am
Hey Jeff, I know its the holidays and all, but a suggestion in the next Qore month update could it be possible to put at the top of my download list. It will make so much easier. Plus, the whole subtitle thing to me isn’t a bad ideal, either. Even though, I am not hard of hearing, but it would be a nice touch. Thanks in advance.
194
NiiF | July 4th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I feel like I’m missing something REALLY SIMPLE here but…I’m an annual Qore subscriber since the last issue and I can’t for the life of me find where to download the 2nd issu from. I don’t know if this is because I’m in Canada and there’s some screw-up here but anytime I click on the Qore buttons in the PSN store the screen comes up with no download option. This is true regardless of whether I click on the annual subscription button (where I get a description of the service and the little shopping bag icon showing I’ve already paid for it but no option to download it) or the July issue button (which simply loads a blank screen with no download option). I even tried going into last month’s Qore episode and checking that downloader — nothing. Where are you guys going to pull down the new content?!
195
kingv84 | July 4th, 2008 at 6:31 am
@194
You can download your new Qore magazine by going to your download list in the PSN store.
I got confused at first too, and I looked under my download list and downloaded the new episode.
Sony needs to post a note for Annual subscribers, so they do not have this problem again. I assume the new episode would have downloaded automatically, but it does not.
Hope that helps.
196
Miltonmaifa | July 4th, 2008 at 6:34 am
I was lost with the new episode of Qore too. Would have been nice to let us know how to get it in the product description. All is well… no grudges here.
197
the_icon | July 4th, 2008 at 6:37 am
Each update is getting worse everytime. Where is PSN titles?
198
maluraq | July 4th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Click details on your downloads instead of watching the percentage — Qore is a 1.7GB download, its pretty big. Depending on your ISP, it may take a while.
Personally, it took half an hour but I have a 10Mbit down-link speed.
199
the_icon | July 4th, 2008 at 6:42 am
@ 167- Thats because the theme was not designed for 2.40, as it contains some new icons.
200
superbone547 | July 4th, 2008 at 6:59 am
At first Qore seemed like it wouldn’t be somethinng that I was really interested in. But then there’s a feature on SOCOM:Confrontation the first issue, Resistance 2 the second, and other titles like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed peaking my interested. Another episode or two like this and I may be forced to subscribe.
As for the download confusion, I have an idea to fix the horrid and confusing method right now. Have Qore go into a sub-category when you click on the icon with all of the episodes that have been downloaded and another “check for episodes” icon within the sub-categoy.
