Yes I read the EU update yesterday and was really hoping that we would get the same psp games on sale here, but I got my hopes up. Really hope SCEA takes note of there update this week.
Is the Echochrome discount only for PS3 users?
That doesn’t make much sense to me.
@151. Brother I share your pain. I want a response thats why im going to keep reposting this message till our voices are heard.
PLEASE RESPOND PSN TEAM
PLEASE RESPOND PSN TEAM
Hey guys I have a quick question. My friend told me the European Store has 50% off all popular psp games such as LBP, Tekken 6, Need for Speed etc etc…. How come we cant get that here. Also I tried to switch my address to a European address and I could not do so. Why?
I really want to spend about 100 bucks on psn getting those psp games for 50% off. Please assist me. I dont want to create a sepearate account. I am no pirate, and I just want to buy some games at great discounts like that. What can I do and if I cant do anything will you please give us the same deal next week?
I also would like to add to the psn team. I kept my word. I bought section 8 and the anarchy rush plus a few more games this week from the psn update. Please keep the updates as consistant as they are. However I kind of feel betrayed in a way cause europe is having huge psp sale. Please give us the same deal. Again I will spend another 100 bucks on psn or close to it. Thats my word.
I know I give you guys an extremely hard time. Its not for me just to be a [DELETED] or complain. Its simply becuase I know sony is the best company and platform. I know that you guys can do way better. So thats why I am always on your [DELETED] about the store updates.
Please Respond to those of us that want the psp sale here in the states. Even if its only for one week. Give it to us next week and I will buy. Make sure its the same games, I want LBP, TEkken 6, and Soul Calibur the most. Give those 50% off please.
I thankyou for your time and am looking forward to a response from the psn team.
Yeah, I saw this earlier and was looking forward to grabbing some deals. Is it coming to the U.S.?
http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/news/articles/detail/item269130/PSP-Favourites-%E2%80%93-Up-to-50-off/
How about fixing the other os! I am leaving my linx partition on for now, Yes it was slow, but was a selling point. On another note, what about Crisis Core for my psp go? Also did the update fix the internal battery date error? I understand you dont control the publishers releasing content, but where is my Grand theft auto DLC?
It’s not like I’m gonna get a response to this but:
How come the Dragon Age Origins DLC is free on the UK PSN and we have to pay for it? What’s this crap about?
For everybody complaining about the UK marking certain games down by 50%: Aren’t these the games that were put on the PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits list? If so, then the prices should be changed or getting changed next week…
it seems like sony is working hard on hardware when they should be correcting software issues and making the playstation a better console. We need a new browser. We need crossgame chat. We need more exclusives. Are they even thinking about these things. cause all i hear about is store up date. who wants to buy for a system that pushes lacking software. come on playstation, ive been a fan since the beginning.
I think its time we start an online petition or protest to get equal opportunity in the gaming market.
So Once again I post….

Also It would be nice to see an entire thread dedicated to letting us know if we will get the same discounts that the UK have. No I dont want to wait till next week to find out. We long term sony supporters that have been with you since Jan. 1995 when the ps1 first launched deserve better then this. Sure there are more important things to complain about. However saving 20 or 30 bucks off games is a big deal when you buy in lump sum like I do. This is America and we are supposed to lead by example. Come on now…..
I want to see Crash Team Racing on the PStore.
I REALLY want to see Crash team racing!!I want to play that on my PSP!
I just want what I paid for….my linx back.
When are the emails going out for for people who already bought all of the Uncharted motion comics?
where are the GTA 4 episodes? or they only in disc form at retailers
Hey thanks for another great update. I bought Everyday Shooter last week and Echochrome this week for a really good price. I can’t wait to see what you got for me next week. Keep up the good work.
@165
They were pushed back from march 31st to around april 15th. Dont worry, they are coming both on psn and or on disc for 20 dollars a piece.
Please give us psp discounts the same as uk store.
There is definitely a problem with the install of the latest Core episode.
I have tried DL-ing 5 different times, and it still wont install, stops at 14% and gives the famous error.
It is not the “XD-RAM” rumor, that is just a scam to get people to purchase repair guides, if there was a fault in the solder of the RAM and the contacts not working, games would not work, and the system would not function properly, it is still a computer.
And the Heavy Rain Taxidermist would not install, as well as other games and demos, they all install fine.
The April episode of CORE will not install for me. No matter how I do it, Background DL or not.
April Fools indeed. :-/
pretty good update here
why is it that xbox has the modern warefare 2 stimulis already, and we loyal ps3 players are left out? are we at least gonna get something better than they have on the 360? i am fortunate to have both systems,so i have played the map pack…was’nt too impressed,..hoping ps3 has something better so my xbox buddies can see tat ps3 is where it’s at.
@171 Because the people who are doing the programming are used to the 360’s programs so they normally do those first. Kind of pays to be on the market longer in that respect. Most companies are still sluggish when it comes to programing PS3 games. Look at Fallout GotY edition, the PS3 one has tons of glitches in “The Pitt,” whereas the 360 one doesn’t-from what I’ve seen.
Echochrome showing 9.99 on the psp store front? I was going to download it 4.99 on sale but I don’t see it can you help? is it the PS3 version only?
No new demos well i guess next week
I dont understand why you have to update your system all the time. I use OS and it says to go to Settings, then to System Settings, then to Format utility to back up everything to the hard drive. Then when you do all of that. It says on Format Utility that it will delete everything on the hard drive. What can I do so it doesnt and so I can update to use the PlayStation Store.
Thanks
hi Grace,
I got a PSP Go some mths back and I think PSN is doing a pretty poor job of supporting this device. There are so many AAA PSP games that isn’t available for download.
– FF Tactics
– FF7 Crisis Core
– Pro Evo 10
– Phantasy Star
When is the entire PSP catalog going to be available?
Dear PSN!
We want FF13’s demo and more Kevin Butler’s ads!! Plz!!!
:D
When is Castle Crashers coming out?
Playstation is getting their asses kicked. They need to give the majority of people what they want, not the others. Who the heck likes baseball games anymore? They need to learn how to run a company. They need to dtep it up. Nintendo is catching up! Nintendo!
when is the mw2 map pack gana be out ? please msg and tell me
Re. Mikaa1701 & AlabamaRollTide8
The map pack for MW2 is comin out April 20th, 2010. That is leaked information dude.

@Juben
