European PSN releases for January 15th

Today's update isn't bad. Certainly not as bad as last week's, but there's something missing. Maybe it's the lack of LittleBigPlanet DLC (which is promised to start again next week), or maybe it's the lack of Street Fighter II HD, Penny Arcade and Lumines. What we do have are two demos, plenty of DLC and Creat Studio's fourth title, Magic Ball. It also appears that Europe is finally able to download all the High Velocity Bowling DLC that America has been hoarding for months now. Here's the full list:

Magic Ball full game (£7.99)

We get an excellent update as usual. :(
...........SF2.........yeah it's gonna be a while.

Does this mean that perhaps we can actually play online on High Velocity Bowling now? The patch has been in the states for a million years now.

The patch has been out for a couple of weeks... Guess ps3 fanboy missed it/decided not to print it.

no point in buying Street Fighter II HD now when SFIV is coming in a few months.....

Wow.. so dissapointing :(.. I might as well forget about SF2HD and just wait for SFIV or the next KOF.

Honestly Sony, WTF is the problem with Super Turbo HD?

It's bad enough that we're not thought worthy of either of the Castlevania games, but the Street Fighter situation is nothing short of rediculous.

Wasn't the Dead Space demo not already released?

Aaarrrgghhh.. double negatives... brain.. gonna.. explo*BANG*

im pretty darn sure it was

Is it a new demo?

this dead space demo is 83mb bigger than the old one im guna download it and test the difference. they both say dismemberment so its guna b the same chapter. maybe less compression and better quality sound and textures

The Savage Moon Theme isnt new and anyone who actually gives money to those guys at Team Ramrod by buying the DLC for High Velocity Bowling are just rewarding laziness and a general contempt for there non US customers. This update is a joke. The demo for Dead Space was already up so that isn't new. Basically another dud update for the european & oceania customers.

got the skate2 demo from asia earlier, so nothing here... as usual.

Why are we being asked to pay for HV Bowling content that is FREE on the US store ?!

Seems like all the Capcom released games on the PSN get held up "testing" for ever. Remember SSFII Puzzle game? It took months and months to arrive.

Whatever Sony EU are doing, they seriously need to get a clue, things take waaaay too long. If its localisation, then release it in english and add a patch later, most people can muddle through in english if they dont speak it and atleast they get to play the game in a relevant time period.

Could the delay be Trophy support ?.... didn't Sony state that it's mandatory from 1st Jan 2009 ?

i am guessing it's to do with either servers etc for online play, since it isn't peer to peer, or its translation and localization issues.

Either way, its things which are easily solvable within a few weeks, or solvable at the release date if your organized!

Hey what is the difference between the two Dead space Demo?

I can't wait for the RE5 demo and Killzone 2.. ahah.

Magic Ball is cool. The rest is meh........

Better than being kicked in the Noits by a fat girl !

Utter tripe as usual. I miss LBP DLC... :(

i can't seem to find the skate 2 demo
nor can i see the new dlc's for shaun white
the EU store is terrible when it comes to usability

I can't find the skate 2 demo either!

Indeed, the EU store is really crappy compared to other countries. I found the skate 2 demo in All Games > Sports > Skate 2 demo. It shouldnt be so hard to find.

Cant find skate2 either, dont think the store is upated yet..

i'm pretty sure it's not under sports, in the belgium/dutch store
