Nov Tomorrow’s the big day for us – the debut of PlayStation.Blog 1.5. Once we’re live, I’m hoping to count on you readers as my own personal QA team. So click around, try the menus, use the search, etc. If something’s not working… let us know!

How about all the pathetic LBP moderation, when in essence isn’t necessary (by law I mean).
All it does it destroy what can be potentially one of the largest games of all time.

Yeah… I was really considering picking up LBP, but the heavy moderation turned me off.
I was looking forward to it, but half the reason, was to be able to play fun user created levels.
There are many other games to pick up anyhow.

Shouldn’t you be contacting customer/tech support right now instead of ranting first?

BTW…are you in Canada? Seems it isn’t even on the US site…perhaps it isn’t supposed to be there?

i’m in canada… and i see the resident evil directors cut on the capcom section of the store…
when you read the description of it.. it says the size is ?????
I was gonna buy it too…. now it appears to just be a glitch..
Come on Sony.. can’t you see that we want PS1 classics…. oh yeah and we want them to work too… sheesh.
Anyone care to chime in on this problem?

@30 SEG
Two users here directed you to the PROPER place to enquire…a SCEA news blog isn’t a place for your issue to get solved. So 2 days after a $7 purchase you sell everything?
Good luck with Uncle Bill and Major Nelson answering your questions too.
