I don't understand why playstation store in Australia is getting games after other countries.
e.g. Journey comes out on the 13th, a week earlier for PS+, it's the 7th and it's not there yet. I thought it was because of time zones but I checked twitter and people are playing Journey.
So if anyone can answer I'd like to know why this is. Why does Australia get games after other countries?

Australia and New Zealand get Store updates on Thursday morning, same as last week, and the week before that, and the week before that...

Other countries (read USA) get their updates on Tuesdays. That's SCEA's decision. SCEE isn't SCEA.

Patience is a virtue.

Thanks for responding but it came across as kind of insulting. Like how could I be so stupid as to not know it will come out Thursday. Sony doesn't make that obvious, it doesn't say anywhere on the store that games come out Thursday. The blog doesn't say America gets it Tuesday and other countries get it later. Also, these forums aren't exactly easy to find information on. If there was any other way to find out I wouldn't have come near the forum.

Renze is insulting. He does that to everybody: Don't take it personally. (Well you could but it doesn't help at all.). He's alright once you get to know him (no more polite, just alright).

MiketheHutt is a good PSN Id. It's funny. Well done.

The information isn't really posted anywhere. They had announcements when it switched from Friday to Thursday, but other than that it is just something you notice over time through repetition.

And I'm sorry that I came across as insulting. It was not intended, but comes from people asking the same questions over and over again. It gets tiresome. I've lost track of the number of times I've had to tell people when the Store updates.

@RandAPIe4: I consider myself 'blunt' and 'dryly ironic' more than 'insulting'.

Harsh but informative

I'm going to make this post easier to find when googling. When does the Australian PlayStation Store update? March 2012 PS Store Update. When does it update? The PlayStation Store updates on Thursday morning for Australia and New Zealand. Also, we don't even get the same content, and if we do, not really the same time. So, it's not like we wait 2 hours longer than the US anyway

follow this for the latest store update.

I just want to know why we're still waiting on Corpse Party for PSP when it was (apparently) supposed to be released at the end of December.

Australia + Being a gamer... Just sucks, really.
