Why is it that Sony thinks that the only people who have Sony Playstation 3 are Americans,when the fact is Europe has a far bigger data base and Americans own more 360 consoles than P3.

Whenever there is a new game on the network Europe normally gets shafted and when we get our update its really bland to say the least.

Never get the same content as the Usa and Jap Stores and Sony tend to treat us with contempt time and time again.

Should be 1 store for all and all content and firmware updates and the stuff you listed in the thread should be standard across the board.

Or is it because the Senate want explanations regarding the private data possible theft and the Uk government as usual have said and done nothing.

May be our Country and others should stand up against the likes of Sony and take a leaf out of the Americans book and take a similar view.

So basically we login eventually and are prompted with a firmware update and all we get as credit card holders stored online [me and millions of others] is a password change.

And the Americans get the other option.........Seems really fair Sony........NOT.

Sony seem content to keep shooting themself in the foot and the people that actually run Sony and the Gaming division need throwing out.

Never get the same content as the Usa and Jap Stores and Sony tend to treat us with contempt time and time again.

I didn't realise that. Do you know what sort of things?

If there is a bias towards SCEE, the cop out will be it is due to regulation differences across the multiple territories of Europe. That's the one that's normally wheeled out in this type of situation.

Might be worth stimulating some debate on the PSN forums while they are on the back foot I think.

I'll wait and see some more reviews for rage. Hopefully it is a better game than that version.
I looked at Skyrim but it hasn't rang my bell as of yet. Wasn't impressed visually, but I might be wrong.

Your lack of response probably hints to your feelings about Resistance, lol!

Here is my honest take on Resistance and Resistance 2.........You are not going to like what i have to say mate...........I was totally hyped up for the first game and when i actually got it i thought it was the biggest load of **** i had ever had the misfortune of buying.

I felt cheated as the game play and look of the game fell well short of the videos and previews of the game,what gets me to this day is many people including yourself think its a great game and that's all fine and dandy and we all have different likes and dislikes.

But after saying that i really like the look of the new Resistance 3 due this year sometime but i am more hyped up and looking forward to Infamous 2 in a few weeks ,now the first game was great and the second looks AWESOME

There were different divisions of SCEE for different regions and the content is quite different depending on where you live.

I done what the majority did do and that was create different accounts for different regions so i could login to the Jap and Us stores.

But you could only download demos of games from those regions because the credit card had to be from that country.

There was a way around it at some point using something called Entropay but i think that stopped ,it was like a pre/paid visa card and you could add funds and hey presto download whatever you wanted.

I got bored with the Jap store as reading Japanese is not my thing and at times it got quite complicated working out what link to click on for the right content.

There are plenty of videos on Utube on making different PSN accounts for different regions.

There stores have far more content than the European equivalent and there are many occasions when a game released over there takes weeks/months for it to appear on our store,they have far more game demo so you can decide if the game is worth your money where our store you don't get a demo version just the game.

They get at least double the content each week and only a couple of times a year do we actually get something before them.

Also, look out for more information on the rest of our Welcome Back programme, including which free content you will be eligible for. We will be offering PSN users the opportunity to select two PS3 games from a list of five, as well as offering PSP users the opportunity to choose two games from a list of four. We will let you know exactly what games are available very soon.

And i bet these games are Ancient or they know that the Majority of us will already have them..

Was just reading about the delay and what to expect when apparently it comes on early next week............PLAYSTATION UPDATE

Tell me more about your service provider mrnelster as i am intrigued,i clicked on your link and saw the name Aquiss and then went to there website to check it out.

Downloaded there shedule for there rollout of there FFTP service but seems its not coming to my exchange in Gloucestershire district.

Its Fibre optic service i think isn't it.

Check your telephone number here if you haven't already.

It should tell you when FTTC is due in your area (if at all). If not then email an enquiry to Aquiss and they should point you to an open reach list of areas to be enabled.

It is fibre to cabinet with 40 down and 10 up max, and at the moment is only available from BT Wholesale, but you can buy it from re-sellers as I have. It's more expensive that way, but I don't ever want to deal with BT again as long as I live.

Check out the Fibre Broadband forum for the detail. RobertoS and Orly have compiled lists of providers and prices etc. Very useful mate.

I don't really seem to be getting a much improved latency (not in game anyway), and I'm not sure why yet, router perhaps. But the download speeds are a revelation for me at 4.25MB ish.
