Sony blocking SFII HD release on PSN

Capcom says title has failed certification twice, despite release in other territories

Japanese publisher Capcom has blamed Sony for the ongoing failure to release acclaimed title Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the European arm of the PlayStation Network.

Joystiq claims that a PR rep from Capcom’s UK office has stated that despite two submissions, SCEE has twice denied the title a release owing to “faults and other problems”.

Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix was released on both Xbox Live Arcade and the North American PSN last November, but has still yet to appear on Sony’s European digital downloads network.

I've heard the netcode for the PS3 version of the game is screwed but i'd rather be playing this offline if it was that buggy. It's doubtful Capcom will be improving the game for resubmission so it can see release on PSN Europe. If this game gets delayed beyond Street Fighter IV's release then no one (myself included) will be bothering with it. Regardless of it's flaws, I still want to get this game (coming from someone who owns virtually all console and arcade versions). Just a bit pissed off.

Until there is parity between the submission teams at SCEE/SCEA/SCEI then this will continue to happen.

There was similar issue with Microsoft once upon-a-time, although Microsoft of course resolved this, and now there are no real territory discrepancies anymore.
