Again, we’ll update you here as soon as the Store goes live.
And there it is….Jeff is usually on answering questions…..since he only answered like 2 before 5 something must be wrong
uuuummmmm….!! looks like a great update but you should not post this until you actually have it available on the PSN store – i just looked and it is still not there (7:00pm mountain time)
wow 10:15pm and still no store update.
Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
;)
Grief, I am not that gamesblow. I have no idea why everyone still doesn’t understand this. Me and him are 2 different people and we’ve never met in real life… We do talk often but again, I’ve never once said I was him. He’s a legend and should always be remembered as one.
Theres so much controversy going on that I just had to post (my first) so heres my view on things that can improve. First of all i’d like to see more consistency as far as when exactly the PS Store gets updated (i’m refering to time.) As far as QORE, not really interested. “Exclusive videos” and so forth, not buying it. Sony is so damn SECRETIVE on everything that they do that i can’t justify pating for this “content” that I can get free off other websites. DEMOS should not be a part of this they should remain to be free. I dont understand why everything is such a damn secret. Firmware for example. Theres so many rumors floating around the internet about firmware 2.4 being released on the 10th or 18th of this month for a few weeks now. WHY CANT SOMEONE ON THIS BLOG EITHER CONFIRM OR DENY THESE DAMN RUMORS..? SIMPLE AS THAT.
10:20pm Eastern Time and still NO update…thats just TERRIBLE!!!
“uuuummmmm….!! looks like a great update but you should not post this until you actually have it available on the PSN store – i just looked and it is still not there (7:00pm mountain time)”
….unless of course you are waiting on CAPCOM to finally submit wipeout HD….:)
You know…I have barely heard any thank-you’s on this site from anyone who owns a PS3 these days. A few people do it but others don’t. The best thing they can do is complain, complain, complain, AND complain. How about saying thank-you once in a while? You guys don’t even know how hard it is to get this stuff up. It’s not like tying a shoelace. I’m sure that Sony is working as hard as they can to get this stuff up.
We have an amazing game coming out next week. Home is coming this year. We’re getting in-game XMB. We’re getting an online magazine, where we can learn about games are going/downloadable stuff for a small fee. Tell me, has XBL been as innovative as this?
I think not.
My God, be freakin’ grateful for once. The guys at Sony must be shaking their heads right now seeing the way you’re getting on here. From the name calling to the yelling at people just because they’re voicing their own opinion. I tried to refrain myself from cussing someone out but seriously…it was rather hard.
I’m sure some of you are young adults. Act like one, instead of acting like children.
Be civilized.
And please, for the love of God READ first before you criticize. They’re not finished with the content update yet.
RELAX. Take a deep breath. Apocalypse isn’t around the corner.
? gamesblow wth well i hope sony is going to surprise us probably not
@habib
i’m sure if you stepped back and looked at what was written instead of making inferments as to context you’ll find the error in your ways.
one question, how many accounts do you have? is this going to be your new thing. harrass me from multiple accounts? where does the word gay appear in my comment and where does it “supposedly” refer to anyone? read whats written and nothing more, otherwise you look the part of the fool. my disgust grows.
I just got word that the PSN team is having group ass plugging session and can not fix the issue. Word is that the lead teach is waiting to take his head out of his ass then they can address the issue.
If these are actually read by anyone who has some say at Sony, listen up because i’m gonna be straight and not be a tool while doing it….
I understand that PS3 had a stagered start compared to the 360, but I understand that many new things are coming down the pipe this year. I love the fact that your online srvc is free and I dont have to pay a subscription just to play my games. Additionally, I find it quite disturbing that I know have to pay to have access to betas! I am a very active person in the beta community and enjoy giving feedback and shaping a game and would like to think I have helped on more than one occassion. NOW you want me to pay to be part of that feedback for something I’m going to pay for anyway. BETAS are ment for people to test the game and work out any problems before it reaches the consumer, NOT INTENDED to charge someone a price to play an unfinished copy first. That is ridiculous and is a move that will surely be followed by more marketing blunders that are doing nothing but destroying a great industry. Right now PS3 feels like a presidential race, promises, promises, promises, and now that you have my money, you can take as long as you want to deliver, if it even comes at all. Please take my words seriously as I am an avide gamer for the past 25 years and the road you are starting to travel down is a dark one.
Did you guys take into consideration that the PSN office might be under siege from a pack of Microsoft-trained wolves (with the alpha wolf being powered by Vista, the horror!). Some of the employees might not even come out of this alive.
When the PSN update starts coming with the clap, then I think we’ll have reason to complain.
I agree with 317, if the updates not ready don’t post it on here. Post a blog about how the update may be delayed due to ‘insert reason’ or just say “stuff not working right” and then come back and let us know when it’s actually up.
Right now your just a big high school tease…and nobody likes a tease…nobody
and everyone wonders why Xbox Live is superior.
Get your stuff together sony, This makes absolutely no sense.
TEST THINGS FIRST. Jesus Christ.
#330, if we’re talking about a high school tease, than anything but a tease could mean months in the big house.
For me, at least.
Okay for ppl stupid like me look at the top of this page they have given us an update on their situation. Not a very good one but its a start for making us sit around for hours with nothing but our keyboards and imaginations.
@CHRISRHODE2004
I have to disagree with you. With more communication the better. That’s the why I’m a little upset now because I don’t know what’s going on with the update beyond that “it’s not ready”.
BTW… everyone can hate or whatever you feel for him. But a lot what he said it’s the truth. What I don’t like is the way he say it but he rarely said something that isn’t true.
They already do test things first, apparently, because they found a problem serious enough to justify a last minute delay. I’m happy not having to find out what that problem was the hard way.
jeff could you give us a update a time table something? please!!!!
Pretty content-heavy update, a nice contrast to the past two week’s complete lack of anything.
I’ll make sure to download Novastrike, as that looks fun.
I’ll probably get Commando 3 on the 360, just because I’ll want to do some MP with old buddies.
CONT FROM 320…..
This is the reason people get their hopes up then curses sony out for not making good on these “rumors.” Also if you confirm the rumor to be true, be open on what exactly will be in the firmware instead of allowing people to buy into these rumors and since you cannot deny them they believe IG XMB will be included when theres a possibility it may not. We know its coming so WHY cant you, if not a specific date, then atleast the MOnth its coming in? People ask for PS Cards to BUY stuff and they get nothing.. People request PS1 games.. and nothing. Yes theres a cost to getting these things out there but the profit should be even greater. SONY is obviously still in the business to make money… right? Obviously because they introduce things like QORE at a premium price. But guess what..? NOBODY asked for anything remotely close to what QORE is. Why not give people what they actually WANT and have been asking for. Believe me, youll see a greater profit in PS1 games and PS cards then you will ever see in QORE. Sometimes SONYs decisions are mind boggling…
Yes #331, it’s a superior service with a crapload of menus to flip through just to get to ONE thing. Plus, it’s a ripoff (50 a year), and it’s coming from a system that has serious hardware problems.
Wow, you people…you make it sound as if the world is going to blow up in seconds.
Update where are you?
Sony needs to get more exclusive psn store content up. They need to get games like Pixle Junk, Novastrike and Flow and Everyday shooter to diversify their service. They need a broad range of PSN games, man. Ps1 games were like 500 and 700 mb a pop, a lot of them weren’t even that.
Why can’t we have like a PSN exclusive RPG or a wrestling or boxing game made for the PSN exclusivly? Sony’s internal departments need to get on the ball and give us more hardcore games on the network.
Reguardless of when they go up or not. they need content!!!
7:32 pm West coast. No Update.
Maybe Sony can concentrate on actual working features like XMB? Instead of useless stuff that doesn’t work.
I mean.. Can we just start PAYING for good service?
Sony, you guys really need to get these updates out earlier (Like say…8am). And more than once a week. I mean, unless your uncapable of doing so. Microsoft seems to be fine updating more than once a week.
wow its only 732 @ califas
@295 rbanke:
The reason why people like me are still angry even after reading that is because they’re keeping us in the dark about why it’s not ready and a general time frame of when we should be okay to check back. I’d like to start downloading this stuff before I go to bed, but I have no idea if I’ll even be able to anymore because they aren’t responding at all to over 300 comments of people all wondering where the hell the update is.
It took them forever to even post it and it’s taking them longer to update the Store and the best explanation they can give us is that “it’s not ready yet.” That’s lame, dude.
I mean, in the time it’s taken for them to post and update and stuff, I’ve downloaded and played the Battlefield demo (both the single and multiplayer) from the EU PSN Store, played a little CoD4 multiplayer, listened to an episode of 1UP Yours, studied for my Physics and Calculus exams tomorrow, and eaten dinner.
I’m bored. I want to download everything or at least start downloading this stuff before I go to bed, so a little more communication on their part would be nice so I won’t be coming back every five or ten minutes to check.
@292 i have all 21 ps1 games and 28 psn games and 22 ps3 games with all the downloadable content for anyone that has any. for someone who is a sony fan u bash sony cunstantly.youd think you would shut up a little demos r still free so gamesblow send me a friend request so i can beat u down in any game my name on playstation is bigfnrabbit if your not scared lets do it any game u have i have
This just a comment as i am reading these posts – but would it be possible for these BLOGS to be TOP-POSTED so we can see new posts right away instead of searching thru the pages (a suggestion).
Man…Can you give us some kind of time frame on when this is going to be released ??? :(
@gameblow
A PSN boxing game? i will buy it in the first day :P
But yes… that’s what I like the PSN games, originals and fun. That’s why quality is better than quantity but it’s been a while. I guess we are waiting for wipout hd
Is there a complication with Qore or something related, as the other stores have been updated just not ours, and were the only ones getting Qore.
This is one of the best updates with the rock band content the pilot of that new video thing and also the Bad Company Demo
They are keeping us in the dark about what is going. I really want this update!
I rarely post here, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
It’s 4-5 hours past the normal update time, and we haven’t gotten any sort of update on this website. Will this, in fact, be up at all tonight? I think I, and many people, would like to at least set up some things to download overnight.
Can we at least get some sort of update on this? This really shouldn’t be that difficult.
no can’t download anything waht is going?
@THE VESRA
you are a world class tool why don’t you shut up and realize people are calling you out you should go back to your mommy and get somemilk
:facepalmed:
@GAMMESBLOW
YOU SHOULD SELL OYUR PS# IF DON’T LIKE IT, NOONE IS MAKING YOU PLAYING!
power is being by tehvesra! lolz
PSN is like Public School. Sure, we don’t “pay” for it but it sure does suck. I’d rather pay for it then to have a less than average service.
WHAT THE FISH
Once again SOny,
YOU SHOOT YOUR MOUTH OFF ABOUT FEATURES AND CRAP, then when it comes time to show..
NOTHING
Just like 4d
Just like Killzone2
Just Like Home
Just Like INgamexmb
Just liket the ENTIRE launch of the ps3.
Shut up until you have something to show and workign
Everyone is completely irritated that you once again fail, and neglect to inform anyone whats going on.
we bought your game system. Hell throw us a bone for ONCE.
Free stuff is worthless when it doesn’t work, and its lacking. Im sure everyoen would ratherpay to have a XBL like service for psn with ingame xmb, movies, videos…Demos first.
Its a constant disaster
MGO again, another ‘woops we’ve never used computers’ mistake.
I am convinced that the pS2’s success was a fluke.
There is no way that this team of complete morons could have planed anything so well.
You guys cant even get an Update working, yet you think HOME is going to work?
Now wonder its vaporware.
Hey, Sony I’m about to call it 10 n’ go on in. We’ve had craptacular updates for the last 3 weeks now anyways, what’s 1 more? Keep your awesome videos to yourslef, I’ll get ’em off youtube or Gametrailers.
10:43 no update
There is only one explanation for why we have not received the update yet. When Itagaki left Tecmo he realized that he had no more friends. But ONE. His old friend Ken Kutaragi. Itagaki discovered his plan to build up a secret army and force Sony to reinstate his authority as dictator. Kutaragi allowed Itagaki to join him in his conquest, and now they have taken the staff of PSN as hostages. The fate of the world rests in one man’s hands. Spider-Man.
@salsaman69
lol what do you mean? I’m just theorizing here.
Yea so, i might die before this update comes out.
just give it 12 ppl please come on were not in school anymore lets just wait till 12 if it isn’t out be then then we snap
@willacuz
LOL…and thats just the SONY way…and your not used to that already?
i got used to that when the 2006 games were pushed back to 2007 and subsequently to 2008 and possibly beyond to 2009 and Killzone 2 has already…followed VERY closely by Home
Wow. I can’t believe how ridiculous everyone gets when you don’t get a freaking update with demo’s. Cool Down.
AND SPEAK FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU SAY YOU RATHER PAY. Best part of PSN is its free!
Well, look on the bright side guys… It’s almost Friday. If we get the update tomorrow that’ll be 1 day closer to the next one. Maybe Sony will catch up sometime.
