It’s been a big issue in Europe and many say it’s hurting the image of Sony/PlayStation but a developer has spoken out on this ‘issue’. Were games like Socom: Confrontations and Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix don’t even have a date in Europe yet, we know from past games how they got released days later if not weeks. And it’s all because of Sony’s “varying regional processing”.

Capcom was not eager to comment on the issue, which they felt was best to be done by the console manufacturers according to them. But Joel De Young, COO Hothead Games did know where to point to finger.

And this is not the only issue there is. The talk of PSN cards keeps going but it seems there is no activity from SCEE’s side. Many PS3 owners in the PAL region don’t own credit cards. Why? They are either under-aged and don’t have permission from their parents. Or they simply don’t want to take a risk with a credit card. A missed opportunity according to many.

Though it might not be as bad as it looks out of the 78 PSN Originals on the North American Store, 65 also appeared on the European store. Disregarding obvious American exclusives, such as NFL Score Charts and games based on American TV Shows, only nine games are still exclusive to the US PSN.

A Sony PSN rep did however comment to Britishgaming.co.uk saying

This has been an ongoing issue and were doing our best to resolve it

Do you feel as a European resident that things will change? We believe it won’t atleast in the next two years.
