PS Vita: World of Pool – Availability varies between European Stores!
- PT
- EN
While we have told you that the NA-Version is Pool Hall Pro and the EU-Version is World of Pool, we did not consider that those are not 2 big stores that cover the whole continents, but just share a similarity, at best.
Depending on your (european) country, the game may or may not exist in your regional PSN store.
World of Pool DOES exist in the following countries:
It is available in:
The germanic countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
The Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg)
The nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland)
Some western european countries (France, Ireland, the UK)
Various southern european countries (Spain, Italy, Greece)
Some central european countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia)
A few eastern european countries (Croatia, Russia)
And Australia/New Zealand.
World of Pool DOESN’T exist in the following countries:
It is not available in:
Some southern european countries (Portugal, Malta, Cyprus)
Various eastern countries (Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine)
And also not in Iceland.
European countries that were not listed (the baltic ones, some ex-yugoslavian ones & the micro-countries) either share a PSN store with their neighbour countries (e.g. Liechtenstein shares one with its germanic neighbours), or simply don’t have one.
I did not check the PSN stores for the Americas (those have Pool Hall Pro anyaways), Africa (should have PAL-content) or Asia (mixed content).
I may or may not have made a mistake while checking the foreign stores, so you might want to check your regional store yourself, just to be 100% sure.
Australia & New Zealand usually count as part of the ‘PAL-Region’, therefore I’ve included those as ‘european ones’.
If the game does not exist in your regional Store, then you either have to use a foreign store, or wait for yet another exploit game (none are planned so far).
Note from Wololo: as a reminder, If you really need this exploit and are in a region where the exploit is not available, you can create a US account, and purchase US PSN credits at no extra cost from Amazon with the technique described here.
Nope. Not in Sgpore, Mlysia, Thai & HK. Sorry Asians you are out of luck.
Is the game pulled yet? Seems like Sony isn’t as pro-active when it comes to removing exploits. We can’t get any useful feature, or AAA titles, but their budget covers the heck out of us petty exploiters.
We intentionally make the announcements on weekends, to buy some time
Also holiday weekend! Great timing!
Please make the title less noticable, like Wololo choose “This is not a drill” as a title in the previous article
im from indonesia and using US store account. have tried bought psn credit from amazon using the technic described. it works like a charm… thanks a lot
Slovakia isnt east,Slovakia is central
Yup, Also neither Croatia or Hungary are eastern. . Funny though that Z is author of this article. I would have thought that person with supposedly German background would know EU geographic divisions at better level :P. I would be curious however as to which other countries beside Czech Republic (and supposedly (western) Germany) would he add to central European list :P.
I had to draw the line somewhere.
Hmm, was just sarcastic, no offense meant though :P. This might be helpful http://mapsof.net/uploads/static-maps/Central_Europe_Regions.png. It’s also true that this is hacking/tech site and not geographic one and sadly I suck at hacking 😀
pool hall pro will work for exploit?
Yes the entire exploit is about the pool game.
thanks, i buy it now 😀
Its not available in some american countries like mine, Argentina.
Sorry for my bad english.
So, is this crappy distribution of EU stores Sony’s fault or specific countries having their head up their *ss with several weird laws?
Censorship would be my best guess. Its hard to ban a game when its available on an online store
Seems like it, and its weird, being an Aussie, I was pleasantly surprised to locate a copy on my Aust PSN store (which is actually one of the EU ones). Normally, it would be an Aussie law that would have its head relocated somewhere.
Haha, funny how it detected Norway as NORway (the flasher program).
I intentionally changed that in the article, but it seems that Wololo removed that change.
Interesting!
Hi, I assume this is the exploit to get homebrew running on 3.50/3.36? And also I assume you need a second hacked PSP/Vita to run the exploit? Correct me if I’m wrong just need a heads up before I get this!
That is correct.
If possible, stay on 3.36. 3.36 allows you to create a custom bubble to launch ARK, meaning that you only need the second device once.
On 3.50 you need the second device every time you want to run ARK after switching to Vita mode.
It is in the Mexican Store, just for the record ;D
