Support NeoGAF

It's all the stores fault. The solution is clearly to bring the old store back.

 

[Azull]

Damage control. I bet something is seriously screwed up at Sony today

Only logical reason at this point.

This. Please. God I hate the new store. The search function is horrid. Plus it feels like my PS3 is going to just crash and burn when I load PS Store up.

Is it entitled to say that I really think they need to clean house at SCEA? Between Grace Chen's inability to get anything out on time, the lackluster support for US Plus, and things like this, it is abundantly clear that a restructuring is in order.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I think that the likelihood of those appearing on Plus is diminished a bit by the fact that they're on sale now. I don't recall anything that's been on sale the month before appearing on Plus as free a month later.

Infamous 2.

 

[BHK3]

I don't get it, the game's obviously have already been planned out for this month right? So what does it matter if they fix the store first or not? I can't imagine if they end up not being able to fix the problem that they will change the game last minute.

lolno. Nothing is set in stone until *after* the psn store updates.

Infamous 2.

Just cause 2 and a bunch of other games that ended up being free not even a month later.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

They still haven't posted the ps+ update for this month? It's not hard to post a blog update. >_>

No, they do. I wish they would get the EU team and make them the US/EU team. I want good PS+ games too dammit.

 

[netguy503]

If it is on sale right now, the likelihood that it will be a freebie is very, very low. The last time something on sale went free the next month was when IGC was announced, and they caught a lot of flak. I believe they mentioned they would avoid doing that in the future.

Personally, if a game is on sale I have no qualms buying it.

What about those "Ultimate Editions"? I think at least one of them was on sale and then went on ps plus for free a week after.

 

[Wario64]

Funny thing is, I can access the store just fine on Vita.

 

[etrain911]

That was before the IGC was announced. It hasn't happened since AFAIK.

I would say it's essential before the PS4 is released. If the people that are in charge now are allowed to handle anything with the PS4...God have mercy on our souls.

I have question for you, sometimes do deals just not wanna show up on the Vita store? It runs fine thankfully but the prices and availability of the games are all over the place I find.

Vita has the best PS Store experience.

Had no problem logging into the website store as well

 

[androvsky]

Fuck. I don't think I can hold out much longer? How likely do you think the AM2 collection will be a free game(s) for plus this month? Even so, if I lost $10 over 3 games that's not too bad...is it?

Are you talking about this? The SEGA fight pack is the only AM2 collection I can find, but it doesn't seem like it's on sale. $10 looks like the normal price for that bundle, or am I missing something?

As for likelihood... it's very likely that'll be free or ultra cheap in a relatively short time frame. I don't call it Sega+ for nothing.

 

[ZeroAKA]

It's too late to get in on the March "spend $50, get $10 back" offer, right? I'm having second thoughts about not going for Atelier Totori Plus and Sonic Racing Transformed.

I think your still good till tomorrow. I was pretty sure it said through April 1st.

Yeah you're definitely good till tomorrow.

Awesome, that should take my mind off of April's update.

The deal runs from Feb 26, 12:01 am (PST) through Mar 1, 11:59pm (PST). So you should be good to go if your purchase was today after 12:01am (PST).

I completely misread that comment, wow. Don't know if he meant March 31 or April 1.

 

[AlexBasch]

Again, here's hoping it's not fucking Sleeping Dogs or Deus Ex, or else I'll throw a fucking fit.

EDIT: Hold on, I spent the last set of dollars to complete the $50 a few hours ago, am I screwed on this?

 

[Bulk_Rate]

I'd like to see Castlevania LoS but realize that's a long shot

I read here its fine until April 2nd

And damn it I need my PS+

Spoiler

Sleeping Dogs Borderlands 2

announcement

 

[brandonh83]

Doesn't it need to be available digitally? I've seen this and MGS4 on personal requests but those only have physical releases (until LOS1 hits PC)

Yes, that's it. I think this is the first time these are sold as a bundle. I'm pretty sure these were all sold separately for at least $5 each so you're saving $5 at least. Not too bad. And the trophies are reeeeeaaaaaaaallllyyyyyy easy.

 

[BHK3]

You think somewhere down the line they'll have the capcom cabinet for free on +? I wanna play ghouls and ghosts but not pay $3 for a key :/. They did it like 3 times for all those sega games, why not capcom games?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Wait I have spent over $50, how do I get the $10 back?

 

[I'm an expert]

Wait I have spent over $50, how do I get the $10 back?

You have to send them a self addressed envelope with postage and wait 4-6 weeks.

 

[Lucent]

I heard that'll be getting sent out around the 12th this month. It'll just be sent to your PSN inbox.

I have this weird feeling Skullgirls will be free.

Thanks.
Glad I bought some of that DCUO DLC that was on sale the other day.

 

[EscapingJail]

damn they are taking their time.

 

[LuchaShaq]

No idea still mad I spent 100+ in October and never got my promotional credit.

 

[JStein0222]

Told myself the update would surely be posted and that I wouldn't check until the end of the 2nd inning of the Phillies game....Darn it all

 

[Strange in Stereo]

No update yet are you kidding me? It's not like they have to update the store today it's just a freaking blog post ffs.

 

[dark_prinny]

I'm already getting impatient and I'm not even a US folk. This shit is embarassing.

 

[Roto13]

This is really not worth getting impatient for.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Wow I just completed 2 worlds in Dokuro and still nothing

Now even the blog runs on Grace Chen Time, Amazing!

 

[Killthee]

No update yet are you kidding me? It's not like they have to update the store today it's just a freaking blog post ffs.

It's weird cause usually they have several blog post ready to go for Monday morning, but not a peep today.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Wow people complaining over a blog post not being posted yet. They said the post is ready, they're just waiting for the store issues to be fixed first.

 

[Iacobellis]

Is it entitled to say that I really think they need to clean house at SCEA? Between Grace Chen's inability to get anything out on time, the lackluster support for US Plus, and things like this, it is abundantly clear that a restructuring is in order.

Give it time, let Kaz work his magic.

 

[graywolf323]

Wow people complaining over a blog post not being posted yet. They said the post is ready, they're just waiting for the store issues to be fixed first.

but why should the store issues keep them from posting it?

 

[torontoml]

Why though? They don't update the store today anyway.

 

[Wario64]

The store has gone down in the past before, why stop blog posts today? Stuff doesn't add up. Not one blog story went up today. What does the store have to do with anything?

Not to mention the store is perfectly fine for me.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

This is really not worth getting impatient for.

Thats what makes the schadenfreude all the more delicious.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Give it time, let Kaz work his magic.

Well looks like they are overhauling SCEJ to SCEJ/A

Truncating 3 different branches into one, cover overhead, and streamline content for that region as a whole

Maybe SCEA is next lol

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

No update yet are you kidding me? It's not like they have to update the store today it's just a freaking blog post ffs.

They are probably ironing out some legal details with a publisher that will have their game on Plus this month. That or Morgan Haro keeps submit the post and getting it sent back with corrections to be made. I swear I haven't read an update once that didn't have an error in it. Europe posts? Fine no problems. US posts? It's like they don't know what system a game is on or how much the normal price is.

Or what the sale price is, no it isn't on sale, sorry it is, no wait it isn't on that sale, it's the other sale, wait correction it's on sale >_<

SCEA does not need huge restructuring, though, mainly just on the PSN front. SCEJ was a given to how barren Japanese development was this gen., not to mention the PS4 is looking more and more like an American console.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Lol, yep. I still remember that whole "yes it is, no it isn't" when Lumines dropped to $20.99 but didn't get a Plus discount, even though they said it would in the post.

didn't this just happen last month with Oddworld on Vita too? I missed the sale on it because I thought there was a plus discount coming but it never did

Well SCEJ became a PSP player in Japan, so that division stayed it's course and had only a handful of offerings for the PS3

Same for the Vita it looks

SCEA I seriously think loses money to MS and their clockwork like content release schedule

Hell SCEE does more for it's customers by doing ridiculous deals to combat used sales and is winning by pricing DD very strong
I mean the deals are ridiculous

I do get why SCEA is handcuffed due to retailers, but rather than try to push itself to be on time, they keep dropping the ball from making DD a viable option
If people got their Day 1 Digital titles @ Midnight on release day or allowed them to Pre-load (Is this even possible?), how much more money can Sony gain
You get users to buy into your eco-system, you locked them into your service, and no used title

Sometimes I really think SCEA is B Squad to all the doings and lose ground to MS in that area
