PSN Thursday: Qore and some free LBP garbs

Sony has been REALLY dropping the ball on the PSP Store so far. I was very excited that Sony finally created a direct-on-PSP version of the Store and it's great looking and easy to use, but their lack of support so far is VERY disappointing. If they don't start ramping up SOME kind of content for it I think I may abandon my love for the PSP altogether.

disagreed. The last MGS I liked was... MGS. This one looks like more fun, but it's a game I definitely won't buy before I try, so, yay demo. I'm sure plenty of other people agree with me.

Plus, a late demo is better than no demo, just in general.

Whattaya mean? I had Xenogears back in the day on my PS1. Was there some newer one I missed out on or something?

Played the hell outta that game, then somewhere on the last disc, I hate a a game killing glitch and all was lost. So pissed...

He is talking about the PS1 version. Japan has it, along with other great PS1 games, available for download in their PSN store. I really don't understand why they won't give us more PS1 games to download. Japan seems to get new ones every week. We get one like once every month or two.

Ah gotcha. Y'know, now that I think about it, the combat in that game was real dull, and the sheer amount of text and dialogue was beyond excessive. I think my childhood love of Robotech had me really sipping the koolaid on xenogears back in the day.

I seem to remember the reason Europe/US/Japan do not get the same games is because of the ratings systems that they have to go through.

I know that Sony is working on a way to implement a simultaneous world wide releases for a lot of the PSN content. I have no idea as to when that will go into effect though.

Also, anybody can sign up for different regions on the PSN. For instance, I have a US and Japanese account. Someone living in the UK can have a Japanese and US account. If you want to buy stuff, you have to have point cards from the region, but those can be bought online.

The Japanese store is a little difficult to navigate, as everything is in Japanese but you get used to it after a while, and its pretty easy to figure out whats free, and how much other things cost. I got a bonsai-gardening game a few weeks ago. Its kind of fun to tinker around with.

Oh yea, and everything you download will be in Japanese

I've actually purchased content from the Japanese PSN store. I bought a Guilty Gear game not too long after the PS3 launched. This was before the PSN cards so I used a virtual Master Card from a bank based in Germany. I just wanted to see if it would work... and it did.

And, yeah, the language can be a problem. Not so much for Guilty Gear since it has a lot of English in the menus, but I image it would be a problem in an RPG.

HUH?

all the paid themes suck

well, the Mega Man ones are ok... but I don't really like Mega Man

Thanks for sharing?

lol demi I agree.. We should comment on a post about the 360...

"I don't really care for the 360 if I had one I'd just play Braid I'm really more of a PS3 guy how many sentances can I string together in one run-on..."

You know it was just my sense of opionion thank you very much Levi!

opionions rok.

yeah, we were promised before Christmas and thats only a little over a month away.

lets hope they keep to their word.

So is HOME included here for subscribers or not?!?!

playststion forums say wait for email confirmation... I've been waiting forever

I don't want to start any flamewar or anything and people know that I'm not a flamer, but doesn't the 360 charge you for themes? At least that's what I had thought.

Hashbrown Hunter: Not sure if you're being sarcastic or asking an honest question. The honest answer is that some themes are premium and others free on the 360 (it's up to the publisher). However, there isn't an easy way to import homebrew themes like you can on the PS3

yay! more people need to play MGS4

Yes more people need to play that game...and buy the expansion packs so I can play ranked matches and earn points to buy myself some Otacon glasses. I can go 10 minutes searching for a Ranked match and I'll never find enough people to play with.
