Separated by a common language are we?

It's not them we mind, but think of their children.

We were alerted to the UK PlayStation weekly update by our dear, close friends at SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe). Jolly spiffing it is too, really top-hole.
Then we saw what our dear, close friends in the New World are getting in their PlayStation Store Update. "Crikey!" we said, we'll have to share this comparison with our chums. From where we're sitting it might appear that our post-colonial cousins could possibly be getting a slightly better deal... this week.
Your opinions to the Forum - please refrain from "My country is better than yours!" fanboyism though.
So, here it is using the descriptions provided by SCEA and SCEE.

I am sooooo pee'd off with the lack of decent content on the UK store that I'm thinking about getting rid of my PS3 - and I am a hard core Sony-phile. I'm getting sick of every other nation in the world getting preferential treatment over us that I'm going to blow them all off... Let's face it, if you're English, you're a second class citizen, so vote with your money - don't buy into the oligopoly that is the games industry - ditch them all and go open source...

Why does the "hard core sony-phile" no have a US account like everybody else?. JOKER. Sony practicaly endorse having multiple accounts.
