@ThursdayNext: I downloaded it, i don't have the game, but hell if i'm paying for it by the time i do.
Did seem like just an unlock patch rater than genuinely new content. #ps3
@televizor: Yes you can download it now even if you don't have the game, plus it's only 100kb so space shouldn't be an issue. Don't know if it will work cross region, but it didn't specify a sku code (which downloads sometimes do) so I would assume it works for all regions. Either way, it's free, so y'know, just get it? If it doesn't work c'est la vie. #ps3
@ThursdayNext: Yep, there was a 256MB patch, I had to apply it when I started playing BL (week after release), way before DLC was announced, but 100kb was suspicious to me too :/ #ps3
@Lachette: True, and I do have accounts for the 3 major psn stores, but it still doesn't excuse them. Not everyone knows how to make an account for a different region, or has a relative who can make one for them.
I was hoping that Zombie Apocalypse would have been released on the PAL store at the same time the US Store got it :(
It's been dissapointing how many title that we are missing from our store compared to the US. I think game developers, publishers and Sony need to buck up their ideas and show the EU fans loyalty just like they do the US fans, or offer us an easy service to be able to download from the US store.
@Jasman23: I was also interested in Zombie Apocalypse, but so much time passed that I've now seen the trailers for Dead Nation and I'm now going to wait for that instead. Sale lost!
I hate how they love to release games we've barely ever heard of, without even showing off a trailer or ANYTHING... I'm looking at you, Heavy Weapon.
Now, I did my own searching and found a lovely trailer on GameTrailers, and it looks like a side-scrolling ground-to-air shooter that could have been made in Flash on a website rather than sold on PSN. Looks pretty fun though, except that it looks like Flash stuff. The vehicules could use some more animation
EDIT: It appears it's a PopCap game. Ahah. Could have told us that first.
It is interesting how NA gets the Fifa demo and Europe gets the Pro Evolution Soccer Demo. I personally love Pro Evolution soccer, it is the closest thing to playing soccer. I lived all my live in Latin America and played soccer all my life. It seems that people in Europe, Asia and Latin America (places where soccer is played a lot) people play Pro Evolution more. However I realize that the Pro Evolution Series has been stagnant for a while. Fifa has been bringing more and more improvements, specially in graphics, they always add more and more stuff. I don' care about those graphics, but it seems that when people talk about the differences about these two games, they talk about the graphics a lot, which for me don't really matter. I also like to support Konami which is a smaller company than EA.
@neoraul20: Well PAL got the Fifa demo last week. Mostly because well football/soccer is religiously popular in Europe than in the US. PES demo should hit NA next week I'm guessing.
Is anyone with me on this, premium themes arent worth the risk! all the themes i've ever downloaded have immediately switched back to the classic theme with my own wallpaper.
unless i can preview these themes i wont spend money on somthing that could be god awful
@Blore07: Just go to google on your PS3's browser and search PS3 themes. You can find pretty much any and every theme on there. No need to pay, in my mind.
I'm interested in Trine, but that is expensive for a downloadable game and I'm kinda skint..
However, if I have a spare £20.00 that I'm not putting towards other purchases (WET and the last two Fallout packs that I need) then sure thing. I paid around that for The Lost and Damned and will be doing it again for Ballard of Gay Tony, and that's an expansion!
@MyBigToe: I'm a huge supporter of downloading small companies games, fat princess is one the best games i've played in a long time, but yes, without a demo Trine is a no go for me as well.
@MyBigToe: It's £15.99 so well that's £1. But here's at tip. Get one of those PSN cards from zavvi. They won't be out till around October but it goes for £15.95.
So you're getting £20 for £15.95 which is always saving you money. In this case £4.
@Blore07: There is a pc demo available though, but after playing it I'm pretty convinced that it isn't really worth that much. I'll probably grab it if it ever hits $10 anywhere.
If Trine was £8-10 I'd snap it up. But as it is it's £2 less than MGS4 so....
Theres various games on sale too, but it's an icon right at the top of the store, so no one should miss it.
Very very sucky week for themes/wallpapers, I think there the first 'premium' themes to grace the PAL store that aren't dynamic.
@ThursdayNext: i was trying last night and had the same thing happen. i've just been home for lunch and gave it another try and they have been removed both videos from the store so something must be up.
Also had a brief go on Trine which looks like it could be very good fun even if i do feel slightly robbed by the price.
@Trumpet: Hmmm, I think it's a reasonable price given the replayability that the 2 player local coop lends it. Wouldn't complain if it was £5 less though. ;)
Glad it's not just me with the videos. I thought I might be clicking it wrong or something. :D
@ThursdayNext: I'll be getting Trine tonight since well to be honest I can play it with my wife on the weekend and she's looking forward to it. But for a game that's roughly 8-10 hours long. It's a fair price.
Ooh, does the US store have a fat princess demo? I haven't seen it, but if not I'll be getting it off the UK store. Also, does it have Katamari... I guess I just didn't check my PS3 yesterday. I should do that.

And 3 PSP games. JUST THREE. Dear god.
11/06/09
Suspiciously enough it's only a 100kb update...was there a sizeable patch that could conceal the extra data or is it unlocking disc based stuff?
Also, did anyone else notice that the description on the Nier trailer referred to the 360? It said:
"Nier will truly be Square Enix's arrival on the 360"

@thecrisisfromthesky: Hmmm, most suspicious...oh, and a pic of the PSN store screen showing the 360 mention (d'oh) #ps3

So can I download it now, even though I don't have the game yet? Also, will it work if I'll get, say... the US version of the game? #ps3

1: Hardly any demos.
2: Hardly any screens or trailers
3: We don't get any games until we've almost forgot about them

Is the €40 Need for Speed: shift the PSP version?
If they're going to charge that for every PSP release I definitely won't be buying a PSP GO either.

I'm also fairly peeved that the store updated so very late yesterday. I don't get why the content wasn't pushed live at lunch time.
One more thing, I assume that NFS: SHIFT is the PSP version. Anyone confirm that?
