im a SCEE resident and signed up to the store the day the ps3 was realised in the UK

Ive been waiting to get something like this

I know about the “european administrative delay” and as i said, i can deal with it. And i’m conscious that in SouthAmerica the situation is even worst, not blaming Sony.

But, even suposing that i was american i would think that if they already have a demo build, why not publicly releasing it? It’s not a beta, a beta IS suposed to be limited and have a test proposal; we’re new at console Betas, but they have always been a “some very lucky people” thing on PC.

So, if what we’re talking about is a demo, why this differential treatment?… as i said i liked Sony’s PSN policy to be free and equal that they stated from the beginning, and right now i feel a little disappointed. I just hope it doesn’t become usual.

Remember : It can be worse.

One of the points i like more ’bout my PS3 and the PSN (vs Xbox Live) is that it was equalitary. Now, we have a similar (not same) diferenciation between Quore subscribers (Gold members?), and the rest of the people (and also, here in Europe, we’re not even able to subscribe to it). I know we don’t pay for playing (and that’s the point why I haven’t still bought a X360, i don’t like feeling i’m robbed), but this segregation between “fisrt class” and “second class” people, who can try a demo fisrt or later is an error. It would make me feel i’m a second class user if I was American (my nephews are, God blees them, lol), and being European makes me feel i’m 3rd class user for Sony. I’ll be playing the demo about a month later, how would you feel in that situation? I mean, i can deal with the usual administrative delay of a week (yeah, there are exceptions, but not much) for any interesting content . But c’mon, if there’s a demo build, why acting microsoft-like, and giving preference to pay members, and not just release publicly to all the people? I think few people will subscribe to Quore just for a week-earlier demo, and in the other hand i.m.o. it can provoque a feeling like mine.

Also, i would just like to mention that Spain, for those who don’t know, its maybe one of the most Sonyer countries worldwide. We even have more PS3′s than Wii’s installed. So it doesnt make any sense treating your better customers like 3rd class users. I really love my PS3, and I still think Sony gives the best service through PSN right know, but I hope this doesn’t increase by time, and, that as Kutaragi said once “All PS3 users are Gold users” (more or less) and it remains like this.

Sorry for the boring comment, i just wanted to give voice to what lot of people thinks here.

And also, i’ll be buying Motorstorm 2 from day one, I really enjoy the first one.
