Yeah, just saw this posted in the official thread;

Some douchebag at Capcom said:
It will arrive on 11/25 on PlayStation Network for $14.99. You will see standard international price adjustments for overseas PSN stores when it eventually arrives

Goddamnit.

edit: What makes it worse is that my mate will be picking it up for his 360 on day one so I'll be forced to play with that shitty fucking d-pad, I hate it. On HF it's a 50-50 toss up whether I'll do a hadouken or dragon punch at any given time. Plus I lost my copies of SF2 anthology and Guilty Gear so it's like the only 2D fighter I've got regular access to at the minute (he wouldn't buy Samurai Shodown 2).

Why are Capcom incapable of releasing their games at the same time across all regions? Bionic Comando was available in a timely manner, but Europe is still waiting for Age of Booty and it took fucking months for Puzzle Fighter to turn up in the EU store. Hopefully Street Fighter'll be this week, but i'm not getting my hopes up given Capcom & SCEE's track record.

I suspect SCEE are fully to blame here, not Capcom.

Just forget about the EU store and start using the US one, seems like the only opition. Sony have had two years now to make the EU store as good as the US, but for some reason they won't. They can do it on XBLA so what's the hold up Sony? Oh forgot, you just like to be stupid this gen.

I'd love to but I've had nothing but problems trying to credit the account. I could not get that virtual credit card to work for love nor money. So, I'm stuck making purchases of the Euro store and SCEE are continually dropping the ball. Goddamn, that monkey must have written the entire works of Shakespeare in the time it took for Puzzle Fighter to show up on the Euro store.

That's a pathetic update of patheticness.

SCEE monkeys managed to exceed themselves unless there's more to this update.

Yes I did... so what's going on then? Sony's updating the PSN store whenever they feel like it now?

And yes I know about the turkeys.

Well, from what I heard, it was both Capcom and SCEE's fault with Puzzle Fighter, but the rest were more current.

Capcom stated that it takes SCEA around 5 days to approve a game, while it takes SCEE almost 2 weeks, but while they approve games, they'll let you know of any problems and allow them to be fixed while approving. MS takes somewhere in the middle between SCEA and SCEE to approve games. Main reason it takes longer for SCEE to approve games just has to do with varying languages, more countries with various laws (SCEA is basically only approving for U.S. and Canada, while SCEE has like 16 or so countries, I forget the number). SCE is still heavily dependent on region, where each region has its own laws and own Q&A.

For some games, like some that come from SCEA, NovaStrike, Fatal Inertia, etc., it's not SCEE's fault at all for the slower release. Some just have to do with the developers only had it in English and Japanese first (well, for some Japanese), and have to translate it into multiple languages, and sometimes won't do it until they already get it released in the NA. SCE in general does not require games be multiple language from the get go, it's up to the developer to decide. PixelJunk games for an example are made multiple language from the get go, so that makes it easier to bring them to multiple regions in a short time.

Not everything is good with SCEA because since PS1 games are published by them to the PS Store, it makes it harder in a way for them to appear in the PS Store (compared to letting third parties do it in other regions).

The article was here about approval:
Ryu vs Ken - How long does the approval process usually take?

Sven - Depends on the territory and the time of year/how busy the submissions team is. It also depends on territories.

SCEA and MS can turn things around in 5-7 days most times. SCEE is closer to two weeks but they have a system where you can see the progress and bugs as they're testing (which means, you can anticipate your pass or fail and potentially be ready to have a resubmission ready to go when you fail). That said, you generally want to get reports from SCEA and SCEE, fix all issues and resubmit to both at the same time so it's not always such a benefit easy. SCAsia is a bit easier on the submission side as their evaluation focuses mostly on the material submisisons, not on code approval (provided you have code approval from SCEA or SCEE).

So when you fail out, it generally takes a few days to turn a new build. We tend to then put that new candidate back through our test groups for 48 hours and if it comes out clean/addressing the issues (without introducing new issues, which can and does happen) then it gets turned back in. In short, it's usually about five to six days after a fail report before you're resubmitted and the process begins again.

So to reiterate, if you don't pass, it's usually another two weeks minimum before you could possibly have approval (and that's assuming you don't bounce a second time). I've said it before and I'll say it again... digital submissions are even more difficult than physical submission. There's more TRCs/TCRs to worry about getting hung up on.

I can't be specific, but this paragraph contains at least one falsehood.

Anxiously awaiting the Dead Space demo. I planned on picking it up this week so it's nice to be able to try it a couple of days earlier.

The Aussie store got updated with only two items but at least one of them was Super Stardust Portable.... still, surely they could do better than that.

Picking up this or Mirrors Edge next week. Only annoyance so far with Dead Space is the DLC came out all at once. Like $15 of awkward content.

From anyone who owns it, how is the replayability?

I generally feel the same way but for some reason I am kind of stoked for this. If nothing else it'll let me know if there is any need for me to drop $60 on SF4 in a couple months.

I was, but apparently SCEE have other plans. I suppose it might hit on Thursday but I'm not hopeful.

It's Street Fighter. Sure the die-hards will pore over the balancing issues like, like... something being very analytical of something else. Surely the casual Street Fighter player already has an idea of what to expect, graphical upgrade notwithstanding.

My mate bought the GENE+MEME pack the other day but I don't think the actual content is available yet. Maybe it goes up today, but I could be wrong about that. For some reason I think it's either the 25th or 27th but I have no idea where I got that from so take it with a grain of salt.
