Europe being left out of Home, users pissed |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Europe, Japan, Nippon Ichi, Playstation Home, SCEE
Ó
The US and Japan regions of PlayStation Home have been getting new
stuff and spaces left and right, while the European Home isn't getting
as much. Users at the European PlayStation.com have expressed their ire
over being left out and are now demanding answers as to why SCEE hasn't
been bringing new stuff in.Other than the basic features, Euro Home has yet to have spaces for Far Cry 2 and Uncharted that US users have been enjoying. Japan already has Siren, Everybody's Golf, and is even getting lounges for Namco Bandai and Nippon Ichi. None of these are in Europe, nor has there been word of these spaces coming soon.
User Dan-Camz at the Euro PlayStation.com forum airs his questions as to why and how Euro Home does not get the same quality service that the two other regions have been experiencing. "What's going on in SCEE? There is practically nothing to do in the Europe Home," he posted.
Other users have been more blunt about the situation. User chelski4life wrote, "I am absolutely outraged! £ 545 for nothin, Japan = exclusive content, America = movies, TV shows, EU = we get everything late and it's all crap!!!"
Users have resorted to logging into US and Japan Home, for obvious reasons, and that those Home regions actually work. Right now, they've set a petition in motion to get SCEE off its ass and start giving European users the same Home quality that's being enjoyed by the US and Japan.
We'll keep you posted on how this petition is answered by SCEE.
More news on stuff that Euro Home isn't getting:
- Namco Bandai and Nippon Ichi lounges coming to Home in Japan
- PlayStation Home: unlock the doors of Sully's Bar
- Take a much-needed vacaion on Home - Red Bull Island coming to Home

Anyways, exclusivity is just stupid, especially when it's on the same console.

But, because there are better things in different regions, Sony should just merge all spaces together and make separate regions in one server.
People who speak japanese could go to that region but yet be visited by US and Europe. It will be like Orlando's Disney with different cultural regions in one space.
It would cause less problems and to a point be the reason and purpose to have home - "Meet New People".
I know there are siren fanatics that would love that space in the us or europe server. To me keep the ideas of creating spaces to each cultures taste yet merge them together.
I agree with you're statement - exclusivity is stupid on one console.
It would have less problems and less attention to other servers.

We're ALWAYS behind with hardware releases, game releases and PSN Store content, and now this custom has spread over to HOME content too.
It's not just about Unchartered and Far Cry spaces in HOME, it's the SCEE in general!!!

When it's so easy to set up American / Hong Kong / Japan account why not, I have, I even had a go at creating a Korean account, but I think that one needs your Social Security number or something.
If every European spent all their time on the other servers SCEE might get the idea.

Yes I can import. Hell, I can even bring games back with me when I go to NY, but we're talking of 'principle' people!
And like it's also mentioned above, is importing a Christmas tree into Home Square that difficult? And no, I'm not bothered about a bloomin' tree - again, it's just principle!
So waaaaaaaaaaaa to you too lol!

And for what it's worth, it's a load of poo anyway. We can't even connect it to our Sky receivers and view all the channels available. It only receives the 'free' channels.
I'd trade it for a Home Christmas tree any day lol!

Another option would be to import PSN gift cards for their respective stores, but that process takes too long and shipping and handling will cost you more than the fee for loading funds on your virtual card.

Thanks for your support though fella.

Most people know that process, which could help for Home, etc - and you're right, but this article has been hijacked to moan about the European and SCEE situation in general.

Their advertising is also the worst kind of University graduate bull***** - I've worked in promotional strategy for Masterfoods and I know damn well when an advertising company is taking the piss.
HOME was supposed to be the great unveiling, and in no time at all it's proven to be greatly lacking. I couldn't find anything worth doing when I was using the BETA, and I've not loaded it up again since my first go.
I have no problems with the product, I love my PS3, but the service from SCEE is verging on the incompetent. Someone needs to get in there and start adding to the unemployment figures by sacking every last useless peon in the place, and hiring some talent - there's plenty out there hungry for a job.

young fella, people hoarding money is a byproduct of the current economic situation and not it's cause... if you don't understand the cause it's probably you haven't borrowed money ur whole life or undergone any financing... u know.. being that ur a kid and all that.

I said multiple times before and I'll say it again If Sony release Home in the state it is then it will fail. After 2 weeks of open beta and its still in this state I can see it failing very quickly. And after finding out they are charging you for stuff I see it failing right now. There is NO WAY I will EVER pay cash for a shirt in a BETA crap thing like home. This is way to stupid of an idea. When EVERYTHING is in there and its final then yea, charge all you want but while its in the beta and empty stage you are just shooting yourself in the head with that thought.
$ony, you f'ed up bigtime and Home has failed. You wont be seeing me in there for a long while. After having to redownload every place again and thats for every region I go to there is no way I will even bother with the next update. You can count be out. I was a beta tester for home but as its gone crap I quit.

The world of Ignorant Noobcakes who forgot what Beta meant has just been served your PWN papers.
