After viewing this, I started laughing about the EU update! We europeans are simply treated like trash. And yeah, SONY sells better in Europe! (its irony)

Well ya know EU stuff has a different system it has to go through and added languages so ya know it takes longer. EU got pain everyone has been asking for that for an extremely long time.

About the updates. People like EU who get the shaft should start a petition with whoever controls the content that comes into their country via these updates. That has already been said what takes the longest, approval for those areas. Complaining to Sony about a problem they already have to deal with isn't the answer, go to the source and thats the people who make Sony go through all these approval phases.

Well, this is a decent update for us NA user. After looking at the EU store update, I have to say I feel sorry for the EU people. Sony really needs to get a clue about what it's user base wants/needs. There is no reason whatsoever that the EU can't be getting the same releases, Like Neameto says, Sony sells better there. Sony is in serious need of staff restructuring.

Nice to see EA offer more courses.  I hope they bring Torrey out when the US Open starts!

Well, if it weren't for the trailers and RB/GH content we get every week, we'd be in the same boat as Europe.  I understand there is a language thing for EU but I thought most everybody spoke their native tongue and English, or at least English.

If only EA added more stadiums like white hart lane,Ibrox,Celtic park and a full manager mode for Fifa 08

Sony has a  better ratio of the amount of PS3s sold in EU over 360s, but there are still more sold in America. But anyways, why can't this say Home beta? Or Killzone 2 demo? Or maybe a MGS4, R2, GT5, GTAIV, you guys get the picture!

Sure ya could just create an US PSN account (I did) but it should'nt be neccesary in the first place. And there be items on the US PSN that you have to buy.

for the love of god! if you can't spare 3 minutes of your time to make an american account, how can you accuse sony for not putting enough effort in making the stores more ballanced?

psn id: gingo.... a rather good update this week for the US, two demos and a plethora of add on content if only the EU store could be half as good

oh come on now, this update even though there is a lot of stuff, it just sucks.  I am a PS3 fan just as much as the next person here but just because there is a lot of stuff put out on PSN doesn't mean it's all good.  I only see one demo that is really worth trying out and thats C2.  Only one video/trailer that is worth watching and thats Motorstorm 2.   The rest could be junked for all I care.

Sure the US gets more items in the updates compared to Europe, but we're all gettin' the shaft compared to the Japanese update a lot of the time. Have you seen how many dang PS1 games are on the Japanese store?
