I like the flags. :lol And the banner again is great, it took me a couple hard looks to find them!

This is actually the first week in a while I'm not getting anything Rock Band related...I want the Muse pack for GH3.

Do we get the GRID demo today too, like 360? Well, if it's coming to Europe it doesn't matter if we get it in the US or not.

Been waiting for this thread. :)

Downloaded Blast Factor: Advanced Research add-on from the Australian store on Tuesday. Noticed this as soon as I started the game:

It only appears during the loading screen, but nevertheless, how strange.

I wonder if that build date means the version I have was actually completed 21 July 2007? If so, what was the hold-up?

There's like 8-10 PlayStation.Day Conference videos up on EU store now.

They all link to Iron_Man.mp4 so wait a while for the Store guys to have all the content and links up correctly.

PS! Love the new layout.

Haha very clever! At first I thought it was them at one part and then I saw them! Beautiful. Yeah I like the new layout as well and I'll be checking out what's in the PSDay Euro store (already got the Haze demo).

i say Street Fighter Alpha will hit around the same time or early before SSF2THD hits. That's how sony rolls.

Posted by SolidSnakeX earlier in another thread, more appropriate here I guess (Home stuff):

EU press to join Beta said:
Speaking to Daniel Hill at PlayStation Day we managed to gather a few tidbits of info about Home and where it's headed. Hill reiterated that the open beta will be happening this Autumn. He also added that the closed beta will be "extended" in July to include more gamers as well as, for the first time, European press.
Click to expand...
Game spaces this month said:
Game spaces are slightly lower on the list of priorities, but not forgotten. Some are being shown off later this month to beta members and Hill stated that what he had seen of them is "really impressive." Game launching has extended beyond Warhawk to MotorStorm now, and this feature was demonstrated on the show floor at PlayStation Day. The feature allows you to select your option preferences, including track and number of laps, within Home. This allows you to almost immediately jump straight into the gameplay, rather than into another menu.

Bitmap Trophies within XMB said:
Hill also confirmed to us that trophies will be available in the XMB. "They have to be," he said. There's no word on when that will happen, but a 2D representation of your trophy list will be visible via the XMB at some point in the future.

Weird, weird, weird.

In the AUS/EURO store every time I try grab the Sony Gamer's day vids, I keep getting referred to the Iron Man SD trailer.

Either a conspiracy or they made a mistake and links point to the wrong content.
It's probably a conspiracy though.

The ESRB just updated their ratings list and Suikoden is listed for PSP and PS3 with SCEA publishing it. I wonder if it will be a surprise release today. :D
Click to expand...

On that note the ESRB has had this fairly recent rating:

Red Baron Arcade Vivendi Games Teen Violence Windows PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

From what I understand this is going to be the first PSN game from Sierra Online, not the most impressive start.

Nice.

Looks like each game will have a different set of options to make it easier to game launch. hope they patch it where when you exit the game it goes back to the area you are in rather than the beginning of the HOME Beta. ;o

Really like the new format. Great work as always Tanod and Goldrusher. As for the banner I think I see it but may just be looking too hard
top of the column on the right

As for the the JP and HK stores:

HK:
Dark Mist themes - not free just like the the ones on the Japanese store
Blue Breaker Burst (PS1)
Wai Wai Kart (PS1)
Wai Wai Kusakayakyu (PS1)
Block Kuzushi (PS1)
DBZ Burst Limit promo video

JP:
Haze demo
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 promo video

Looks like NA will be seeing the best update today especially if Suikoden goes up.

Hopefully the trophy things will be visible in the XMB before Home reaches its full release (perhaps at the same time as the open beta). I think the infrastructure should all be in place as early as possible; Sony should absolutely not hold trophies, accomplishments, cross-game invites, etc. back until the Home release.

Looks like SCEA gets its own hype train this week. Usually it only stops

in Europe.

That's where they are...
And what do you mean by "back" ? Last week, things were different, but one of the wrestlers was there.

I downloaded the EU Haze demo and actually like it. Going to download the US demo and see if there are any visible differences. Race Driver looks interesting but I have both Forza 2 and GT5 Prologue. Does it bring anything different to the table?
