Sony I am fed up of you not releasing updates to the PSN store in the UK! You give us a late PS3 system launch,you don't give us the 80GB system,you took out the PS2 "EMOTION ENGINE",you priced the system well over the rest of the world,you have discontinued the 60GB and left us only the 40GB and now we don't get the GT5 demo,only prologue. We know you are a japanese company and are looking after the japanese market but stop screwing the European market as you always have done in the past,we have given you our money and our patience but we won't do it forever!
Sony have so far treated their European users like crap. They seriously need to come out of the dark ages and start treating Europe as a region equal to the rest of the world before they start losing customers.

I disagree with you. Sony is probably the only company that gives a crap about smaller European countries.
What people don't realise some times is that thereare some legal implications in the release of some games or demos that prevent them from releasing at the same timeof Japan or US releases.

I'd buy that explanation if it was about 3rd part games, but when it comes to games like GT5 and Ratchet & Clank, it's BS. There's not reason to not give it to all regions.
If localization is a problem, skip it. The germans and frenchs need to improve their english anyway.
Because it's very likely GT5: Prologue will only be released in Japan, as the same as GT4P. So it's not any surprise they won't release the demo anywhere outside Japan.
Game demo is for promotional purpose. It specifically target the retail market. So the demo is always released not long before the final product hit the shelf. Since SCEE and SCEA have no plan putting GT5P on EU and NA very soon, it's just natural that European and American PSN don't get the demo. So just take it. It's life.

Did that news even have an exact release date? I guess not.
But GT5P has an official releasedate in Japan, that's the difference.

Just down the demo off the Japanese store like everyone else in the world.

These aren't first party games either. And besides that I don't know what 1st 2nd or 3rd party games have to do with your argument...actually I don't know what the point of your post was at all...pretend I didn't reply.
The Gran Turismo Prologue games always make their way to the UK and I'm pretty sure mainland Europe, GT is huge here so I'll be suprised if it doesn't surface at some point.
What people need to remember is that Europe hase been getting games/demos/hardware last for what seems an eternity, Japan will get it first followed by the US then europe (sometimes almost a year between JPN to EU launches)
