A European release might be wise, rather than priortising extra content.

I won't be buying this off Euro PSN out of protest, due to unacceptable release delays...

I'm so glad that Sony is looking out for my best interest by ensuring that the quantity of items is limited on the Playstation Store. If I had too many things to choose from, it may be difficult to locate all of the quality software they put up every week.

Who likes looking for a needle in a haystack?

I see what you did there!

Seriously dude... I'd be floored if you actually owned a PS3. Your post history shows you to be a huge Sony troll that rivals the old Fernando Rocker.
If you do have one, is it still in one piece? I would guess not at the amount of time you waste talking about how big a piece of shit it is. So please stop refreshing your browser to keep giving yourself pluses and GTFO.

I do have a PS3. It is a 20 gig launch unit that I feel was a waste of money. Other than renting 3 games on it, it has become a DVD player while I play on my Wii and 360.

Just because I own one does not make me feel like it was a good decision.

Sony is the one that said they wanted to ensure quality over quantity. I'm agreeing with them. My entire post here isn't slamming Sony in any way, but agreeing with John Hight, director of product development at SCEA’s Santa Monica Studios

“We’re very careful about the stuff we add to our catalog. Early on as a company we decided it’s not going to be about giant numbers and ‘Hey, come to PlayStation Network and you’ll have 5000 games, maybe three of which you actually want. Go ahead and find that needle in the haystack’.

“It’s more about each one of these experiences is something special,” he added, noting that Sony’s decision to operate in this manner would help it to unearth visionary designers like Will Wright and David Jaffe.

Hight went on to say that PSN would see plenty more original titles, as well as a bigger budget, and larger sized games this year, while titles that include cooperative multiplayer games would be made a priority. “It’s not a must-have, but we feel the competitive universe is mostly covered.”
