Some people are never happy

According to EA's devs Sony has had the final skate demo code for almost a month.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Nice Update 2 months in a row!!!

fixed

 

[Nightz]

Wow, after reading about the Eliminator mode, I think I'm gonna have to play some Motorstorm again.

It's pretty fun actually, but u gotta play with guys as skilled as you cos teh fun comes when everyone manages to be close to eachother. If the pack gets spread along the track too much, than you dont feel the pressure. I strongly suggest setting the catch-up to ON while playing this mode.

 

[M3wThr33]

Probably saving it for a boring week. Go play Motarrrstorm.

Its not like it come out this week.

 

[Plinko]

Can somebody give me a logical explanation as to why Sony isn't putting any more PSX games on the PSN in America? Is it licensing issues? A problem with emulation?

 

[mackaveli]

how the hell is NBA 08 demo on but not NHL 08?

nhl 08 comes out next week and Sony doesnt release the demo. yah the updates are better but it doesnt make sense on why they dont put demos on the store that they have.

why is NBA 08 demo day and date with when the 360 went up basically but for NHL 08 its not.

RE 5 trailer? new trailer??

I'm curious myself about this.

RE 5 trailer? new trailer??

It's a new RE: Extinction trailer (the new movie coming out this month, if I'm not mistaken) and not a RE5 one.

I think it may be a problem with the emulation.

They put Spyro 2, Medievil and Crash 2 on the Euro PSN a month or so ago but they've been taken off because of technical issues, and everyone was given a refund. They havent re-emerged since.

The Japanese consoles have the same firmware we do (except the output is in a different language)... and they get the PS1 games regularly.

This feels like an empty bullet point for the PSN and there are a lot of PSone games i'd like to download. Other territories are getting game updates, why not the U.S.?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

this thread is too confusing....is the FIFA demo out in the US store?

 

[GeoramA]

Nice update once again for the US store.

They got the demo situation fixed, now we just need some PS1 games put up on a regular basis. RE: Director's Cut or Dino Crisis would be nice.

I thought it was only Europe that had this crappy emulation software in the PS3's?

No,no demo this week for that game

If I had to bet: licensing.

Publishers probably want more $$$ than Sony are willing to give them out of the $6 they want to charge. The only reason why I think SotN came out at $10 is because that's what it is on LIVE, so I think that's an exception. Also, to compare, Nintendo is licensing 3rd party SNES, Genesis and N64 games and such and charging $8 and $10 for them.

To a lesser extent, I think emulation might have an effect. They did have some problems in Europe, so that may be part of the reason as well.

I thought we were talking about the lack of PS1 titles on the US PS Store?

 

[captive]

Ok, maybe im blind but where is Heavenly Sword Anime #1? I dont see it. I had it on my dads PS3, but i didnt on mine and i cant seem to find it in the store.

Can't be the emulation. Japan, has over a 100 titles with no hitch.

[kaching]

Isn't there a better way to do this every week if you're going to do this every week?

A better way to do what? This thread's format or Sony's updates? However this thread gets structured, it's still going to be a magnet for the likes of therapist and crew who just want to complain about what isn't in the update that they wanted.

 

[Erebus]

If the PSP uses the same emulator (which I'm sure it does), then all homebrewers should know that only PAL PS1 games had issues running properly.

 

[tribal24]

is us content up?

 

[Greg]

My PSP is about dead - someone let me know when the content goes up in the store because I can't keep checking. :lol

 

[Ceb]

Wow, either the US gets a great deal on the Motorstorm pack or EU gets raped. $5.99 = €5.99, heh.
