You know, a gracious bow and a sincere apology go a long way in this world. So while this week's PAL PlayStation Store update is, once again, a little bare, at least SCEE are apologetic about the whole thing.

"I know lately we've had a bit of a lull in the updates", SCEE's Mike Kebby writes on the European PlayStation blog, "and whilst they may not have been massive, we have been adding steadily to the store (for you PSP users especially), but next week, there should be a nice stream of content released, and I'm hopeful that some of you will be pleased once you see what's coming".

"There will always be dips in the release schedule, that's just the way it goes at times, but we always come out the other side smiling don't we?" he continues. "Seriously though, we'll be doing our best to make sure these lulls become less and less frequent, because we do want our community to be happy smiley folk after all".

Amazing what a little explanation can do for bad news, no? Unless you were really looking forward to Braid. In which case, I can't help you.
