I'm honestly interested in knowing the reasoning behind these late updates because they never really seem to happen on other platforms, and SCEA never actually says why. I saw Dark Souls up late last night, so why not just put the rest of the stuff up at the same time? Why is this still a thing?
When the Soul Sacrifice demo came out the store didn't update till around the same time
Unlike Atlus which is a running joke at this with their discount, Tecmo-Koei games rarely went on sales. So whenever you see their games on discount, grab it fast.
You and me both. Grace was on the Blogcast a while back, and all that came out of it was, "Shit's hard. Be nice." I'd love to hear an honest answer. If there's something tricky or difficult, there's gotta be a solution to improving it.

I just don't understand how it's not automated at this point. There shouldn't be a switch to pull, it should already be on the servers ready to go and unlock at like 3:01AM PST Tuesday.

This is one of the strangest things I really am mind-boggled switching from Asia PSN. Yes, the games releases late here but when they release on PSN, They are always on time. On the dot. Sometimes it won't even show up on a PSBlog post but it is already there.
grace chen is just frustrated with death screen on dark souls 2

bad gameplay lol
I can't even sign in to PSN at all now.
they are pulling the plug off so they can blame it on service going out

Gotta love GCT. I wonder what got screwed up for it to be this late.
Rather than setting the clocks forward an hour for Daylight Savings Time, Grace prefers to set her calendars a day back.
Injustice was the last Wed update if I recall. Thank god I have Titanfall as a distraction.
I really want to know this too! (I dont really care about the Japanese voices, I just want a physical version of X-2
)

A new trick was discovered with the webstore and the Vita store app, probably related to the maintenance done on Monday.
Previously, if you tried to view a link to a listing on the webstore in the Vita internet browser, you would get an error message saying that the browser was not supported.
Now, any link to the webstore in the Vita browser will automatically open the Vita PS Store app and display the listing through there.
What is funny is that it will show any listing, even those that aren't available through the Vita store:

It will even show listings from other regions:

Woo! Got everything sorted out with SuperUFO. Engrish customer service but very helpful.
I debated against selling my 1000 vita buuut my buddy who's am avid pc gamer seemed interested in it so I sold it to him. I think the idea of playing spelunky on lunch breaks made him cave haha. May the old girl rest in gentle hands.
Plus now I have another person to play with, mwahahahahaha.

At least this late store update made me reexamine something I overlooked last week.
I heard NFS: Most Wanted was on sale for $5.00 so I got that yesterday. But I just found out that EVERY NFS game was on sale last week for $5. So I got the Run, etc. just now which I probably wouldn't have gotten if the store updated as normal. I saved alot of money. Thank you Grace Chen for your incompetence.
Now I can still get awesomenauts for $7.00 if I want to but....nah. Looks like plus fodder soon enough with PS4's limited library.

I love Yoshida.
Seriously, how does this keep happening? and how does Grace Chen and the US PSN store team still have a job? I'm not trying to be mean, but if fucking Nintendo has a normalized store update time (Thu 9am) how doesn't Sony US? I'd like to pre-order infamous/ MGS but nooo, you don't want my money.

bad gameplay lol
I have the feeling that we're never going to find out what the reason is. Likely because it makes someone high up at SCEA/SEN look incompetent.
He's going to fly out and drop the hammer on the store publishing team.
Do you want a racing game that uses cars on your Vita?
>Yes
>No
If Yes. Get it
If No. Avoid
Better be quick about buying it. You have until Grace Chen updates the store
What certain demo do you want?
I think it's well worth it especially since apart from Wipeout the Vita is devoid of quality racing and car games in general.
;o
maybe this means i can buy japanese game on my us account

I caught Gravity Rush at $13.49 in the Vita store. It also doesn't have its PS+ free offer. :|
inFamous 2 for $10, I think this is a sale as well. I don't remember hearing this as a price drop.
Nope. Unless there is a glitch out there, this can't be done.
Might be a glitch. I think thats with one of the yearly titles before. It disappeared for a week only to come back the next one.
Curious. Has PSM updated? I know that normally updates at a different time but I'm not sure if its the same team that handles the update
My thoughts exactly. It's past 2:30 on the East coast
why am I still awake and waiting for the Store update?
They never made a blog post about the spend $60 get $10 promotion either. Wonder if they were waiting for the store post to live first lol
