Looking around it seems the game recently went down in price permanently on the American PSN to $20 USD and it seems ridiculous that the Australian store users still have to pay more than twice that even though our dollar is pretty much worth the same as the USD. I'm used to buying physical copies of games at 20-30 bucks more at release but this is just silly.<br /><br /> And the XB Indies section isn't even an option in Australia. Literally, it's not there, because apparently Indie games have to be submitted for rating in Australia, which costs a whole lot of money so they don't even bother.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-74324993258380998092010-12-10T03:34:07.411-05:002010-12-10T03:34:07.411-05:00As much as I am an unashamed fan of the PS3 hardwa...As much as I am an unashamed fan of the PS3 hardware (I love both it being region free and the controller - two things which bother me with the 360), I agree completely that Sony has no idea what it's doing with PSN.<br /><br />The Hong Kong store used to allow any credit card, and it was great. It I can use my UK credit card online for foreign stores like Himeya, then I should be able to for PSN. But then the HK store changed and stopped accepting foreign cards.<br /><br />Also, Sony has nothing equivalent to XB Indies. Which is a bit sad, since they were the company which created the Yaroze.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-56928176408782550092010-12-09T22:14:06.546-05:002010-12-09T22:14:06.546-05:00To be honest, I find the entire PSN store to be so...To be honest, I find the entire PSN store to be somewhat of a clusterf***.<br /><br />First off, they stuff it everywhere on the XMB and make it the default selection in half the menus.<br /><br />Then, half the stuff in the store has no demos. Even things that have demos on XBL (which mandated demos...a wonderful idea).<br /><br />Atop that you have the horrible segregation between regions and inability to buy the same damn stuff in every territory. Why?<br /><br />The PSN is really just a mess. Which honestly kind of sums up a lot of the PS3 experience: A mess. It functions, barely.<br /><br />Case in point: I wanted to watch something on Netflix yesterday, so I was forced to update my PS3 firmware. Did the Netflix software update? No.<br /><br />So began the lengthy, lengthy PS3 update process. At which point it was too late to catch much of a film before bed.<br /><br />Really can't stand a lot of the issues surrounding the PS3, honestly...Dragoonkinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-47100744217913423912010-12-09T18:43:40.799-05:002010-12-09T18:43:40.799-05:00Also worth mentioning that Victor Ireland was heav...Also worth mentioning that Victor Ireland was heavily involved in the re-releases of the Working Designs games, which I'm sure helped.cj_iwakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015379443713889163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-88617031512830015132010-12-09T16:26:51.014-05:002010-12-09T16:26:51.014-05:00Yeah the UK PSN store is terrible.

Do not understand why Japanese companys do not just bring out the American versions of their games that never reached Europe on UK psn store it not like they would play funny on a European PSP or need any extra work done to them.<br /><br />Some think it is to do with it costing to put games onto it. But if that is the case why are both Super Fruit Fall and Impossible Mission on it for Just PSP and a serperate Mini version that works for Both PSP/PS3. Even weirder is both the Mini versions are cheaper too.<br /><br />You can no longer buy some Konami ps1 games on PSN store either Track and Field and Bishi Bashi Special got removed. For some reason as well you can not get Crash Banicoot 2 on UK PSN store but 1 and 3 are on it.<br /><br />Sony need to get there act together with the PSN store badly. They could'nt even get Castle Crashers out on same day worldwide and the game had been Localised two years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
