I'm sure UK PlayStation gamers are more concerned by the current no show of Retro City Rampage and CS: GO.

Dude, some of us are still waiting for Dyad. That's been absent in EU for longer than either of those games.

I had a few problems with it at launch but it was the install that played up for me, no crashing mind. Try again now instaling it, as it was fine when I left it for a few hours.

You got that right but what's worse is the total silence on the matter.
