Every End Must First Begin!
we want more then just GOW. sony… this is pathetic. its 12 AM on the east coast. is this ps+ week???
Cool, got it :) Search for it manually guys, it’s there.
PSN is LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
the issue is they got to drunk an forgot to hit the enter key to upload the update lol
Seriously this update is really absurd, someone should Apoligize.
Okay given that even though CHEN puts up a consistently LATE UPDATE track record.
No one really ever thought it would go well into past 12 Midnight EST (Wednesday.) Or at least tell us its going be late!!
Hit a new low… we should get confirmation from higher up that it wont happen again. (without notice)
It is now Wednesday and no update was given.
@1278 – lolwut?
The game is up if you search for it, but since I bought the game from Amazon I’ve had it sitting in my PSP since 4 this afternoon. I just want my damn downloadable extras >=(
@1280 – Well, there was the time that FF8 was released and it was really close to or right at midnight here if I recall correctly.
The game is up if you search for it, but since I bought the game from Amazon I’ve had it sitting in my PSP since 4 this afternoon. I just want my downloadable extras >=(
I guess were updating a day late. Thanks for making me wait for nothing! :)
let me repeat myself:
I bought GOW:GOS just now. 4.25 Gb required, lol
Just open the game list and search under G for God Of War: Ghost of Sparta
ok so we know ur here! u just left a comment! can u atleast describe the issue ur having? give an explanation… example: servers aren’t working right, won’t let us update blog, don’t have all the information together… etc…
Wow,the Party of waiting for our weekly PSN store update still continues. :/
Posted around 600, Just came back from eating some food, and now it jumped to another 600 comments. Amazing. Ken, can you tell us whats the hold up?
I refuse to start “searching up” the games I want to download or check out, I will not leave my computer until the blog main page reflects the update.
Ken, saying sorry about the delay is meaningless because this isn’t the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc time this has happened. Your customers demand answers. Why was there a delay? Who is held accountable? How can you rectify this toward your fanbase to compensate them for this display of unprofessional behavior. You’re giving us an update after 12 AM on the status that there is a delay?
Do better for your customers Sony.
Maybe Kevin Butler should run the PSN store updates?
@seraphssavior
The giant clock that makes the playstation store work, has giant gears and cogs, someone dropped a salami sandwich into it and it got a bit stuck.
THERE IS NO SPOON
just go to the search tab and put in “God”. Its the first one that shows up
@Nahela
only availble for “collector pack” GOW 1 & 2 bundle
no way to download separetly
@1258 – no, the game is not available. If you do a search for God of War Ghost of Sparta: the only things that show up are the (i) demo; (ii) E3 trailer; and (iii) origins trailer.
keep the torches and pitchforks lit.
lol you demand answers
I don’t understand how pushing the “publish” button takes a whole night.
This is Grace Chen’s department. No surprise that she is responsible for yet another Playstation related flub. HOW IS SHE NOT FIRED YET?!
This is not the latest update they’ve ever had. There was one that I believe, didn’t update until like 2am. But it’s rare. I’ll just check the store when I wake up in the morning. Anyone calling for a boycott over a late update is just an idiot.
Apology. Explanation. Do better.
Simple concepts that companies can’t figure out.
@1285 not everyone wants to buy it of psn quite a few of us are still waiting for the dlc codes from pre-orders to finally work
i wonder if they get paid over time when they cant get the store up?
May be thats why its taken this long? they want the over time.
this is really making me mad the onlt reason i pre-order this game was for all the extras and my pre order code is still not working
Give up those who are trying to explain that the game is out they won’t listen…
@1285: Not sure how you see GoW:GoS when all I see is the demo, and 2 trailers. The GoW HD Collection is up if anybody wants that.
Wow, 1300 comments. This must be a PS Blog record. Can anyone confirm this?
Maybe they should officially change it to Mondays so then we can get our timely update on Tuesday. In all seriousness, the updates should be happening on Tuesday mornings
no if you look pass there over 6000 posted hehe.
WEDNESDAY UPDATES NOW!!!!!!!!
sony simply do this= right in notepad the updated items, upload them to the server, change prices, take a screenshot of the list in notepad, upload to imageshack, and post the link here if u can’t help the blog
Still having error codes on th GameStop pre-order code entry, and I know it’s correct. Any idea when this will be fixed? I’m quitting smoking cold turkey starting today, GoW: GoS was supposed to HELP me through it, not make it worse.
wow its almost wenesday
The game? 9.5/10
Punctuality of game availability on PSN? 0/10
There was an update one time that was REALLY late. The store updated on Thursdays then and the update went live at like 5:00 or 6:00AM on Friday.
Not gonna throw blame at anyone or complain to the extent of 90% of the other commentators. But maybe schedule the updates at a specific time each week? Would that be that hard to set up?
@1294
I have it. It is presently installing. I would post a picture here if I could. Many people have searched and found it. I found it by searching “god of war” and it was on the list. It says 4.25 GB but you only need 1114 MB to download the game itself. This is my experience.
1. Click search
2. Enter “Ghost of Sparta”
3. It’s the third choice.
Yes it’s the full game, not the trailer or the demo. This is the US store by the way.
@1293/Cyb3rfr34k-iso
That’s BS if it’s the case, they definitely mentioned previously they would be available separately :\
Content on the PS Store is being worked on. These issues will be resolved shortly
