ANY idea when Deus Ex PS2 finally drops for US? =(

[Black Republican]

I like how they faked us out with all the early updates prior to E3. Now that the pressure is off ... back to good ol' GCT!

will they fire her?

[Takao]

will they fire her?

lol no

She and presumably her team have been working with SCEA for like what, 6 years now?

[nexen]

I forget. Is it Pinball Arcade DLC day?

[Jucksalbe]

I forget. Is it Pinball Arcade DLC day?

Only for Vita. I'm quoting myself from the Pinball Arcade thread:

For US PSN: - Medival Madness + Bride of Pinbot are coming today for Vita and June 26th for PS3 - Cirqus Voltaire + Funhouse are coming July 3rd for Vita and June 26th for PS3 No date for 360.

[inner-G]

Nice. Is the Pinball Arcade DLC free?

[nexen]

Weird...but ok.

YES NEW TABLES!! WOOO

[parathod]

Nice. Is the Pinball Arcade DLC free?

Would kind of go against their new philosophy of using kickstarter for everything.

[Triz]

pinball arcade dlc should be 4.99 for both sets of tables. I think you can buy them seperate at a higher price point.

[K2Valor]

Will the Metal Gear Solid collection for Vita be released on PSN?

[Toki767]

Will the Metal Gear Solid collection for Vita be released on PSN?

Yes. All retail Vita games are on PSN.

Is there any chance for new free PS Plus stuff this week, or do they give us all the free stuff up front at the beginning of the month?

I'd be super happy if they gave us Tomba free next month. even though I already own the disc, I'm greedy

[Eusis]

Ugh, I'd actually be annoyed. Give it free a month later, I'd like to buy it and keep it.

Actually, scratch that. All these freebies should have the option to actually BUY games even if they're offered for free, hopefully that gets overhauled eventually.

[boingball]

Walking Dead EPs 2?

I am also interested in this. Hope this comes out today.

And might get Gungnir for my PSP. Prefer a UMD version, but for some reason Amazon does not ship Atlus games internationally.

I was thinking about that with Virtua Fighter... but ya know what - there's absolutely no point. Just buy the game once your PSN Plus subscription is up, it'll probably be on sale by then.

If anything there's greater risk for dumbassery because you could accidentally click "Purchase" instead of "Download" and be out because you clicked through too fast.

[Takao]

9PM EDT update confirmed.

[Mrbob]

Grace Chen Time is the best time. No one wants to play Gravity Rush anyway. Not like we would want the store updated for one of the bigger recent Vita releases.

At the very least I hope SCEA offers Vita sales like SCEE is doing. I'll pick up Escape Plan if it goes half off.

[Izick]

Now I want to play Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.

[Takao]

It's amazing. These guys got Mass Effect 3 up on midnight but can't bother to do the same for their own games.

[UberTag]

Dude, Gravity Rush is SO not a Sony game. Clearly it would have gotten loads of coverage in last week's press conference if it did.
Now that Assassin's Creed III? THAT's a Sony game. Showed up not once but TWICE in that hour.

[segarr]

I guess the E3 show floor demos are ok for game journalists but they're not polished enough for the general populace. I still expect more demos released during this time each year but it never happens. Imagine a Last of Us demo put up right now :o

[Mutagenic]

Now I want to play Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.

First thing I thought of.

[The Grim Heaper]

I was about to mention how half of Sony's releases this year(GR, Starhawk, Twisted Metal, Resistance, to name a few) haven't gotten much coverage or marketing, but then I sensed the sarcasm.

Good show.

Point, to a degree at least. There's times when a game is on sale though, but you CAN'T get it because you already have it for free through PlayStation Plus, or worse it directly coincides with offering it for free.

I love how the US team have consistently updated quite early for the last few weeks...

Until today, when at least 2 games (MGS, Gravity Rush) that people are looking forward to, are being released.

It's hilarious to watch. SCEE may be terrible at some things, but at least they can pick an update window and keep to it 90% of weeks.

[Snuggler]

double post, I fucked up

[Snuggler]

It's amazing. These guys got Mass Effect 3 up on midnight but can't bother to do the same for their own games.

T'is a shame. Midnight would be ideal, but even 1PM sharp like Steam would be great. Sony should be encouraging people to buy digitally, and having your customers wait upwards of several hours after retail stores open isn't gonna help with that. Remote downloading and preloading would be sweet too, but I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

we are having technical difficulties.

[krumble]

F*****g Grace Chen time... Been checking every hour the past 5 hours
I give up (uk) will goto bed and buy in morning (GR)

[outunderthestars]

Loved last week's sale on the individual Sly games. I wonder if we'll see something like that for the Jak games as well....

[DiscoJer]

Well, when the PSPGo came out, they did the midnight thing for high profile PSP releases for about a month, then didn't bother with it anymore.

[jvm]

will they fire her?

This is just adorable. So young, so innocent.

[Mutagenic]

Hah.

I have $100 in PSN credit burning a hole in my e-wallet, let's go Gracie.

Apologies for the delay in today's Store Update. The publish is still coming, but may be as many as a few hours away.

Thanks for lettings us know at least. I guess that squashes any chance of me playing Gravity Rush tonight, but now I can stop refreshing this thread every two minutes lol.

[Seraphis Cain]

I'm still completely mystified as to why this only happens in the US.

[outunderthestars]

Thanks for posting the updated info. :)

At some point we'd love to hear more about the publishing process and why it isn't just done at a set time every week.

[Takao]

Thanks for the update, but are you guys still using 56k modems? Why does it take so long to update?

Gravity Rush coming up.

i think it's all a conspiracy by the team to squeeze overtime pay out of Sony.

[AleeN634]

Thanks for the update mochuuu. The updates have been on time for the last few weeks which I hope this kind of situation becomes a rarity.

[Impeccable]

The delay is to put up M:DotP:2013 and Rainbow Moon today. I can sense it.

[eznark]

Uploading Using Sprint Network.

[Snuggler]

So, technically Gravity Rush could be getting a midnight release. Well played Sony.

[outunderthestars]

Retailers

Why would it be delayed due to retailers?

[VanWinkle]

Apologies for the delay in today's Store Update. The publish is still coming, but may be as many as a few hours away.

I would honestly love to know why this only happens in the US, although I never expect to hear the reasoning there. I mean, Sony can't get their own games out at midnight, or at least in the morning? The whole thing is just bizarre.
