With the library of PS1 games in the thousands (Best guess)what is holding them up in releasing more games there? The day FFVII comes out, I guarentee I'll buy it.

hopefully the US will get something worth waiting for this week, if we dont get demos, at least some new videos for KZ2, LBP, FFXIII, or some other game we're waiting for in 2008.

Are PS1 games playable on any region PS3?

At least they stepped up the PS1 content this week which some wanted, kind of like how we steadily got more and more demos. But no demos this week(DMC4!?). Nice add on content though.

Not very pleasing... I'm also waiting for some decent games and living in the Benelux doesn't even get you the two PSone games that UK got. Extremely gay!

i've been waiting a long time for the motorstorm tracks, so i am very happy.

bubbles to the psn.

Poor UK...US DLC better be more acceptable than this.

WTF Sony?
You've got stock piles of PSOne games, where the hell are they? PSN has been up for over a year now and we can count the PSOne titles on one hand.

I'm downloading Yakuza 3 right now. I hope it's good.

I really regret buying PAIN (I bought the hype like a fool). I was hoping for some new modes or levels by now - but every week I am disappointed. All we get are stupid characters for SALE (lame). I swear, that piece o' crap is one of the most shallow games available for download. I got bored with it after one night.

Note: The 2 new motorstorm tracks are tracks only - they are for use on TIME TRIAL or ONLINE modes only.

I'd await for the ticket events that will make use of the new tracks - if/when they ever decide to...

The smaller games like Q-Bert and the vision camera games ALL having free TRIAL downloads with limited levels just to see if you actually like it.

That is one thing I like about XBL arcade. YOu can download a trial version of EVERYTHING. That way you know for sure if you are going to be happy with what you buy. I think this same approach would for sure help out Sony sell more on PSN Store

Still waiting old games can't find come oon psn we need something cool and always staying on the minds :D

yeah the demo is a good size with a multiplayer function on it so yah gonna need to get a united kingdom account its a alright demo

Everyweek is just a bunch of crap putting on PSN store, they running out of ideas what to add, tHERE IS NO EXCITEMENT!!! Do something, it's 2008 and supose to be better than 2007.

Give us some f***ing good games dammit! How hard is it to put some decent games on the UK PSN???

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
