Only is US. thanks sony, as usual we get the shaft.

pwnsause5754d ago (Edited 5754d ago )

dude they confirmed it for a fall 2008 release, by the time that happens, you wont be sorry, there would be tons of video content to get there on launch day. not to mention you know they have to localize everything overthere since Europe is more than just one country and more than one language.

Fishy Fingers5754d ago

EU also gets PlayTV first. It's swings and roundabouts.

Skerj5754d ago

Wouldn't blame Sony for this one so much as the MPA.

BlackCountryBob5754d ago

Its not that Europe is getting the PlayTV first, its because Europe uses a common standard of digital aerial based TV which no other region has; the states does not have a common ground yet.

I sure hope there is no-one surprised about this not working in Europe, if you thought it would then you are obviously a little naive. You should instead be thanking your lucky stars (like me) that Sony have demonstrated how easy it is for them to region lock the PSN but have just locked the video store. They could have done the entire store and justified it but they didn't.

I'm happy because I haven't lost out on the US PSN store.

PLiPhaze5754d ago

BlackCountryBob pretty much nailed it

Mr_Bun5754d ago

Think Canadians will be getting it in the fall as well? I think I am gettin' screwed!

Tomdc5754d ago

it took microst a year to release their video service in europe after they did in america! a few months is good compared to that!

Mr_Bun5754d ago

Yeah, but there is nothing saying that it is even coming to Canada

Oh well, I'm sure it'll be up sooner or later. Moaning wont get it here any quicker though.

Start a petition people :P

PLiPhaze5754d ago

Oh no, please don't encourage them

Ben10545754d ago

complaining got us in game xmb ofter a year, so if we start now we should have it by Christmas 2009

Mc Fadge5754d ago

Even if you have a US account, it's based of IP address (I assume)

But I'm okay with that, it'll come when it comes <333

GVON5754d ago

I was about to ask that as I can't see it on my American account.

whoelse5754d ago

Aww... i wanted to test it.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 16h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 15h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 15h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 14h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 11h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing11d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
