It seems that people in Japan are getting every thing.

Konami has brought the Classic Metal Gear Solid originally released on PS1 to life again in Japan only. While US store seems unlikely to have one soon, since Konami of America has just released MGS the essential bundle.

They always get everything first, it's been like that forever!

Aren't we getting some sort of Essentials pack at all?

It's a Japanese company, what do you expect?

Absolutely agree. Whilst it is difficult to justify the relatively empty EU playstation store, you cant blame a Japanese company looking after its own customers first, especially given some of the issues they had with low penetration in their own market.

Don't forget japan is a small country ideally sized for testing the gaming market for a final wider market of usa & eu

Major security vulnerability discovered for PlayStation Network, lock up your PS3s

Details are still sparse (and primarily in Japanese), but our Tokyo bureau just let us know that Sony's announced a fairly severe security vulnerability on the PlayStation Network, which would actually allow an attacker to access your account, personal information, and Wallet -- but not your credit card on file -- as well as change your password. Damn. More on this as it develops; in the mean time, keep a close eye on that account.

Update: More information is on the US PS3 site. Apparently the issue has been resolved and "security is restored." Thanks, luckydude76.

Maybe its time for a british made console, stuff the Asian/American products, we got some really good UK/European game developers so games wouldn't be a problem.

Reality is it probably never happen.
