No…but even my dad – who has a masters in civil engineering from MIT – couldn’t figure out the first puzzle. Once we looked at the promo video and paused it at the point where they show the correct solution the rest were a breeze.

“And to wrap up with one of the many topics I know you ask about regularly, we are rolling out the PlayStation Cards to retailers nationwide as we speak. They will have the PlayStation Cards in denominations of $20 and $50 starting this spring. This will provide you with another option to get on board with the PLAYSTATION Store and enjoy the content that I’ve outlined above.”

There is something really wrong with the encoding for “PlayStation E3 2008 Press Conference – Part 2″. It is zoomed in on the middle of the frame throughout. Please fix it so I can see the Home demo in all its glory!
Otherwise, thanks for all the great updates this week!

Thanks for a NEW PSONE game and please more PSEYE support. I have not used that in ages. I wish I could use the Video Store in Germany were I am currently stationed. Am an American with a US Credit card and I can not purchase or even see the PSN Video store.
I am able to purchase videos off iTunes and Apple TV with no problem, because APPLE does not IP Block Regions, instead they look at your billing address and Credit Card. Better system than Sony’s. Maybe Sony can learn from them. Thanks.

After playing the demo I bought Elefunk. What a great game! Online is a lot of fun as well, it’s sort of like the game “Jenga”. Anyone, to those having problems figuring out the game, read the tips/hints section in the options menu. It will help you better understand how the game works… it’s a great bridge building simulation. You have to distribute the weight evenly while maintaining a solid support structure.

Ok, just letting you know, but in the E3 section of the store. The Sony E3 Press Conference Part 2, is cropped poorly =\ it’s zoomed in to far and half of the time Jack’s face is cut of from the nose up. When developers are interviewed you can’t see any of the names, the ones that show in the corners explaining who they work for and what they’re working on, and most of the games that are shown off are so zoomed in that you can really only see the middle part of it, so please, if you could re-edit it and make a new copy of it on the ps store that would be appreciated, also in the mean time could you take if off the store so people don’t download it to find the cropped version of it?

I read a comment the Head of Worldwide Studios said about PSone games and though he mentioned it isn’t that profitable. I think you should release them to show how strong the PlayStation was back then and people would buy PSPs and PS3s if they could play their old favorite games
You should release games which weren’t released in the U.S like Vib Ribbon

Elefunk release in EU & US woohoo… also thanks for the constant updates on the PSN regarding E3
now onto the point of my post/comment.
Elefunk is $4.99 to purchase now in the UK its £4.99 normally the price of software is just a little more expensive than the US PSN which is fine… but at almost double the price you cant be serious can you?
If its so easy for us to check the price difference between the two at what point do you think its fair we are charged double!?

Rayman rocks on the PSP! Works great with the PSP controls. I’ve got now like 6 PSN classics on my memorystick, need to download only a few more and love to see a lot more of these classic games on the PSN. For example, where’s Suikoden which was promised us? Funny thing is that I don’t actually need to download games like Medievil, Spyro, Crash and Rayman as I have them on original disc, but the fact you can play them on the PSP makes it sure worth downloading.
You’re absolutely right rockmanjoey. Though the man can say that classics aren’t profitable, but if for example the people in Europe still need to wait for their PSN tickets, plus I’ve heard from several people from the US that tickets are not available in their regions, no one will download them without a credit card. That’s a fact.

All of you complaining about the differences from the European store and here on the North American store are wasting your time. I really feel for you all, and I know it sucks that you guys have to pay quite a bit more, but there is nothing SCEA can do about it. SCEA has absolutely no control over what goes on in your territories. Your complaints should be sent to SCEE. Here is the address you need to send your complaints to.

I recommend you guys post this address on the forums on the SCEE website and band together and get as many people as you can to write to SCEE about your feelings towards pricing and content.

sigh, they have got to get the developers to try and listen to some fans on what they want to see in a game…..god man Im telling you just let me give you the idea for one game…it would be your most successful psn release of all time…I mean it would be a show stopper….but of course u will never ask me for my wisdom…..I would help u guys sell MILLIONS though!!
but no no no its fine keep with ur own style i respect that…I just hate some of the games u guys put your name behind.

They don’t take debit cards? Is yours just a PURE debit, no credit, card?
I have been using my debit card since I got my PS3 about a year ago and have never had any issues. I do have the option when I pay (at say a grocery store) to use either debit or credit so that might be the difference. I didn’t think there were strictly debit cards around. I guess the information goes through PSN as a credit card and I’m all set.
But again, I guess you might not have that Debit/Credit option?
