Well anyone in the SCEE region could hardly have failed to notice that there is/has always been a clear lack of content in our region, not just for Home but for things like content in the Playstation Store too (DLC packs for Guitar Hero etc), well as far as Home is concerned…. Things are about to change, BIG TIME!

SCEE’s Home community manager TedTheDog yesterday announced that it was quite clear that Home in the SCEE region was along way behind all the other regions in the number of spaces that are offered to its users, although he did like to point out that there was plenty of nice bits and bobs available in the Shopping Centre and that they had some great Home Partners in there as well. SCEE home users (in the forums) do quite often like to point out the fact that SCEE does seem to care more about keeping their partners happy and keeping their wallets brimming rather than actually keeping their players happy, and that even though the SCEE community is one of the biggest earners they do always seem to be pushed to the back of the line.

TedTheDog has now said that starting immediately that Home in the SCEE region is to undertake some major changes that will help keep Home up-to-date and in the same playing field as the other regions, keep players better informed and keep players much more happy.

Here are some of the key points mentioned in his post:

• Red Bull has another trick up its sleeve (free to interpretation), and that the Xi has still got some way to run and has some more surprises in store for us.
• Priority will now be given to the production of new Home spaces and support will still be given to the Partners in the Shopping Center.
• A new production assistant has been hired to meet the demand of more workload brought on by these changes.
• The first task will be to get up to date on all the old content that has been missed (Uncharted, Warhawk, Resident Evil).
• The second task will then be to start work on some of the more recent spaces like Guitar Hero, and then to finally keep up to date with other regions and ensure releases of spaces at the same time as them.
• Over the next 2 to 4 months the SCEE Home Producer will be investigating 17 spaces for deployment.
• Communication is to improve, and from now on we can expect information about content and updates to be published a week in advance rather than just before, during, or after the updates have taken place and the content has been updated.

It seems that SCEE is finally getting up to scratch and improving the PS3 experience for European users, hopefully we will soon start to see some of the other content from other regions start to appear in the Playstation Store.

Everybody, things are looking up at last!
