Ive been waiting for fl0w since before I bought my PS3 (brochures from Tokyo Game Show last year...)  Then I waited impaitently for its release in 07
Then I hit the web site and played the PC version...but I wanna play it on my very-paid-for-PS3.

I cant seem to find any links at ALL on Playstation Store.  I tried muscling in by just typing direct URLs but cant seem to get Flash working on this unsupported browser...

Is anyone here in Japan able to get fl0w?

Am I just doing something wrong here?


Kudos!

I Suppose flOw Will Come To Japan Eventually, i mean, It's Not Too Much To Localize That Title There, Is It?

If You Really Want It Now, Try Going Directly To The US PS Store..

Localize flow? Hahaha...it's one single screen when you first start it that has text, there is nothing else to read anywhere.

This game could be localized for every language on the planet in an hour.

Never been a fan of Tekken.  Any of them.  As far as Im concerened Ill trade you Tekken for Flow.
All I know is the game was advertised as being on the to-be-available list for the PS3... so where is it?

I tried switching my network settings so as to get into the US side, but that seems sufficiently blocked from JP access.

Anyone with a JP PS3, or from this region able to get fl0w yet?

Howd you do it?
Kudos!

You shouldn't need to switch your network settings. 

You should be able to create a new psn network ID...  For location, you'd chose a US city and state.  Then you should be able to log into the US PSN Store...  If you don't have a us credit card though... i'm not sure how you'd pay for it.

I'm not sure how to do it either. I was hoping someone might have a way. There is an easy way now for Americans to buy off the Asian stores. Flow still isn't out in the Hong Kong store, and I'm not sure it will. Remember that the content is geared towards different markets.

See thats just it!!  If I had learned about Fl0w through gamespot.com, or some other web resource aimed at the US or EU markets... I wouldnt post up about it.  The game isnt available here, and thats that... though for that matter Tiger Woods PGA Tour isnt sold here either... but a little double shipping takes care of that nonsense! Likewise some arrangement could be made to acquire the game abroad and simply import it...

But the PRE RELEASE JAPANESE DOCUMENTATION listed this game Specifically.  It was where I first developed an interest in the game!  Anyone familiar with JP magazines know that like to photograph everything as though it were pr0n!  You get big juicy closeups of gundams, or wristwatches or whatever consumer good they are hawking.

In this case it was Fl0w!

Except Fl0w aint flowing!!!
