    I read that interview, pathetic. F* giving people demos and FORCE them to buy the content?

    SCEA doesn’t know what they’re doing… @MrCamo

  • @93

    Very interesting article, thanks for that good read.

    My assessment for what it’s worth (little) as far as PS1 games:

    What we could be seeing here is a catch-22.. you kind of need to see demand from the consumers showing that they want more PS1 games (by buying them) to garner a business reason for putting even more PS1 games out there.. but this won’t happen unless Sony puts what people want to download it in the first place.

  • Sorry Snap, I meant to reply to nmc75. My mistake.

  • My god! ;-D I better change my nickname!(i.e p-s-3) coz everyone on here is angry with me!(i.e this update) ;-D
    (Don’t blame you lot tho)
    :-/
    I’m still waiting for –
    HOME???
    L.B.P???
    DS3 pads???(in U.K)
    PSN cards???(in U.K)
    In-game you know what???
    Good PS1 games on PSN???
    (i.e MGS1,GT1+2,
    R.Evil 1,2,3 etc etc)
    A PS3 that plays PS2 games???(None in U.K, only got the 40GB version)
    etc etc
    We just have to wait i suppose, coz no one tell us how things we want are going really.
    Ho hum!!! ;-D

  • So this week kinda sucked for the PSP. Oh well, at least the Call of Duty 4 patch for the 360 is coming out this weekend. That’s right the 360!!

  • I don’t know how many times we have to say it, but it would be really nice to have a batch of PS1 games uploaded on a regular basis, or at least during slow weeks to counteract the lack of content.

    How we continuously whine about it, and Grace continuously does nothing about it is beyond me.

  • Another terrible update. No demo, no psn game, what gives. the new pain character is cool, but not enough.

    there are weeks xbl gets two or three demos, multiple arcade games, plus tons of dlc.

    Sony can’t manage to find anything to put up in their store. they waste what is a great marketing tool, imo its lazy to only update once a week, when xbl gets updates almost daily. Its even worse that they can’t even find content to make that one update a week even worth it.

    Sony is becomming a consistant let down.

  • Hey Grace,
    I sure feel bad for you.
    Every week you post info about what you added to the PlayStation Store.
    Every week, no matter what, people complain about everything.
    I have to say that each week the comments on your blog threads make me ashamed to be a PlayStation fan, assuming all the complaining idiots actually own Sony video game consoles.

  • Pretty weak update IMO, although the Rock Band tracks will definitely get bought by me tonight. “March of the Pigs” is going to be hella fun to play on the drums.

  • If there are no new demos at all, I must say it would be nice to add another PSone game. Even if it’s all first party ones.

    Thanks for the update however.

  • @elmonstro

    Uh what? You should be ashamed to be a Playstation fan. The lack of actual content should appall you. What kind of fan are you? “ZOMG, a trailer, kthxbai!”

  • AnotherCrappyUpdated

    Every update is new songs, new songs for games I dont own….is that all were ever gonna see SONY???????????????? Rockband or Guitar Hero, two games I’m never gonna buy or play ever and thats all I ever have to look forward too on Thursday….This system really sucks with updates. We still didnt get a demo for Madden 08….Fight Night 3……I mean when the hell are we gonna get some demos? Some arcade games? Everything is crap upon more crap….songs and more songs every week but nothing that appeals to anyone who didnt buy rock band or guitar hero….

  • Lame, with all the PSone games you think we could get 1 a week, I don’t even know why I check this every thursday. Going back to majors blog.

  • i own rockband and i dont understand why the price of 1 song has gone up from$0.99 to $1.99 + some of those songs for $0.99 you cant downlaod anymore and i missed some so whats going on?

  • Damm SONY! Again where is HOME, in-Game XMB? As Bad as we need HOME you give us no update on it. What Happen? That’s all i want to know right now. I already have xbox 360. But i will not renew my live account. Because iam waiting for HOME. And the more i wait the more iam missing XBOX Live. I was thanking about buying the Black Elite HDMI XBOX 360 and RENEW my account. No Feedback on HOME makes me thinks of problems maybe for HOME. That’s why i cant get a answer. What happen to HOME? And this PSN Store update is TRASH !!! I dont own rockband. Whats up with FIGHTNIGHT ROUND 3 NO HEADSET online? USB ONLY? I use a bluetooth and it dosnt even show up on the screen. I use it with all other games with no problems. Thats one of the things you need to FIX.

  • @diablo103

    All Rock Band singles are $1.99. The ones that were $0.99 was a limited time offer only and they are still available but for $1.99.

  • good job guys.

    Usually you give us the meat and potatoes every week, but it looks like you ran out of meat so we get seconds on the taters! Dunno why ppl are complaining…so much ps3 and psp news was released this week.

  • the rating feature is broken for this post, you can vote over and over again if you keep refreshing.

  • Gwen saves this PSN update.

  • Well looking at the rating for this update that should tell sony something. But with our luck they will just remove the rating because it must not be working correctly.

    Get with the picture sony! You have a stale thing right now nothing good is being released on PS3 at the moment and you need to keep the store rocking with good stuff that people want. These last few weeks have been lame.

  • what has happened to the PSN, no content wjaysoever…this SUCKS big time…its just as good that we don’t pay for it otherwise we would really be angry.

    When will something INTERESTING be coming to the PSN.??????? This is the 5th ‘sucks bigtime’ update in a row…..get your fingers out and do something. Content just doesn’t come knocking at the door, or maybe it does, if you see the content on thPSN latley….

  • I must say something about Rock Band. I don’t own it and don’t plan to, but if all these songs fit in the game. Why weren’t they put in there to begin with? People already pay something like 160 dollars for the stuff.

    It’s ridiculous to only have 50 or so songs in the game and then charge 1 dollar a song for the rest. But alas the downloadable content nickel and diming era is upon us and me ranting will do nothing to make it better.

  • WAY TO GO SONY. LOL U REMOVE MY COMMENT BUT WOULDNT ANSWER MY QUESTION. WHAT HAPPEN TO HOME?

  • The PC store update is…… missing something I can’t quite figure it out.

    Is there anyone out there to work on themes for the PSP or just the PS3?

  • No update for me as you can’t buy stuff in Mexico :(

  • this is gonna be a slooooow week for me content wise but thank god i bought patapon yesterday. i cant keep my mitts off it…

    well sony thanks for patapon!

    peace,
    Lh

  • My question is who selects this crap and then approves it as good enough for the store? I mean really you guys need to find someone better to do this job. There are so many things that could be added to the PSN.

  • Seanscythe2,

    Man I’ve been wondering the same thing for quite a long time now. Who ever is liable for choosing what goes up to the Store needs a bad wage cut.

  • Give us some ps2 titles at least. Games like rockband, patapon, Guitar Hero are for KIDS SONY. I like to play kid games too but DAMM NOT THAT MUCH! I Would have brought a nintendo wii if i knew ps3 was going to be like this LOL.

  • Wow! This is a really great update……

    FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

  • Lol, How do we give a less than 1 score?

  • EVERY UPDATE IS A JOKE TO ME. Playstation own too many games. For them to only give us liltle at a time is a JOKE. We should be able to download and play any PS2 game on PS3 by now!

  • This is ridiculous. Why is it so hard for you to throw together some videos of upcoming games or a recent conference and put it in on PSN? Why is it so hard to publish release dates for PSN content like Wipeout HD so thousands of customers like me aren’t disappointed every week when content doesn’t arrive? Don’t give me crap about how it’s a free service, I paid 500 dollars for this PS3 based on the promise that it’s store would have content on par with the-other-box. I just don’t know who came up with a business model that is designed to piss off and disappoint your customer base on a weekly basis.

    We need more transparency, clearly listed release dates of content, and more content. Period. This is not difficult and quite frankly it’s infuriating that you can’t even realize that there are thousands of customers eager to spend money on your store if you’d just put up content that isn’t Guitar Hero or Rock Band related. (*^$#%!!!

  • ok here is a hypathetical, not really this is actually tru, but how come i bought this new model PHONE that came out last week, and i have more content available to me than the ps3 that has been out 4, 17 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, y is your guys stuff so hard to produce. I have Zuma on my phone, another platform not from sony and my pc. U guys have won the stupid hd war already, which everyone knew u were gonna! Y dont you put out ps1 games instead 3 different versions of the same game i.e. Crash Bandicoot !, 2 & 3, also Jet moto 1,2 &3. Ape quest was the worst free game ever and would not pay 4 anymore of that nonsense, and hope no one else would either. Y is Pixeljunk monsters able to played on remote play but cant get a version downloaded to the psp? Y would I need auqatopia on remote play? How come remote play still does start off a timer? Why did Phil Harrison RESIGN? Y r u so reluctant to start real social gaming? Yeah I heard about the Warhawk war room in home, but can you access your strategy on the web, for quick reference? Can u post your MySpace homepage on a Bravia tv in your Home apartment? All this sounds like stuff that should have been covered at GDC. We get a blogger who cathes the “Flu” and get no more than 10 posts (Posts meaning 50 character or less short sentences) about nothing. Y dont u just admit u have no game plan other than to syphon money out of people who like music.

    recap : my new phone has more than my ps3

  • Here in Europe want some love on EU Store from Sony please :( .

    By the way, someone know when is gonna be the Sony Gamer’s Day??

    Thanks.

  • Smackdown 08, COD 4, LAIR.. can we have this demos? Be possible?

    I think the service is great but the content… we can all pay 1$, 1€ and have more conditions…

  • nice demos this week. very weak this time. Without a demo, I tend to not drop $60 on a game – unless it is something like MGS4 or COD4, etc. come on guys throw us some bones.

  • this week kinda sucked. condemned trailer was cool though

  • Yeah sure it was a bad update but at least the US Store is 10 times better than the EU store.

    And hopefully the rumors about a new PS Store that is like the SingStore are true.

  • We need demos. How about Armored Core 4 For Answer, Army of 2, Turning Point.

  • Dear Sony,

    this week’s update is very weak.

    Thanks,

    balliinn

  • dis update was whack

  • Yet another lame update.

    You guys do know that you cant just keep putting up new songs…expecting us to be happy with just that. I know I dont care one bit about them.

    Its getting harder to defend the PSN….

  • man look at the rating for this topic, I think that in it’s self shows sony we aren’t happy with this level of work. What is so hard with releasing videos that you have on the playstation site. You have a ton of Army of two videos you could add since the game is coming out soon. What about FFVII:CC demo or videos? What about LBP videos, FFXIII videos, New Movie Trailers (DarkNight), Demo’s for new games like Turning Point, etc etc…

  • we have been getting weak updates from Sony for too long every week they get worst not even a demo nothing good and why would u want no doubt or w,e on gh3

  • lol how is this rated less than 1?! I mean, you can give it a 1, but I don’t know how you can give it less than 1

    another meh update, but guys, while its bad, its not as bad as we had back in June. (not trying to defend them for the bad update, just pointing out that they are slowly improving)
    Also, I think that Sony is smart keeping news about Home and KZ2 and MGS4 under wraps because of what happened to the PS3 when they gave out too much info too early (people lost interest). However, why they would do the same with what is going on with In-game youknowwhat and the PSN Store is beyond me. Ahh well, we wait again….

    btw Jeff, looking forward to info from the GDC. Any info on when the vid with Dylan will come out? How about info from other devs? Many thanks for asking our questions there and glad to hear you are doing better.

  • Lame, lame, LAME!!!!!

  • @ zorox blue dragon and lost odd is not as good as you making it to seem. there are ok game but nothing great i own both of them too and was sadded by how half assed they felt and i was piss that both of them should had been great game but they arent.One of my fav creator lent me down so much now i know why he left square enix he didnt belong there anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also i think u forgetting folklore

  • WHY DO WE NEVER GET FEEDBACK TO NEGATIVE COMMENTS……..ONLY POSITIVE COMMENTS GET A RESPONSE. ARE YOU SCARED OF A LITTLE CRTICISM SCEA AS YOU REALLY DO DESERVE IT??????

  • Be patient… After E3 you will get more content than you ever dream about…
    I must admit tho that some videos of games coming soon and PSN games like Dark myst would be welcome.
