Street Fighter and Resi 5 are Home-bound
Costumes, game launching, Africa.
Capcom Japan has announced plans to support PlayStation Home with Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5 content, including costumes and a themed game space.
Famitsu (interpreted by Joystiq) has the news and some shots, showing some striking authentic Street Fighter costumes and an impressive recreation of Resident Evil 5's African village setting for Home avatars to explore.
Street Fighter IV will also get a post-release patch adding support for Home's game launcher, so players will be able to jump straight into SFIV bouts from the virtual world.
As with the recent SF outfits for LittleBigPlanet, the costumes will be for sale from the PSN store - along with, we assume, the decorative Street Fighter and Resident Evil figurines shown in the shots. The Resident Evil 5 zone, meanwhile, will host themed events.
Whether this content will be coming to the US and European version of Home is unconfirmed, but we'd be very surprised if it didn't.

Unlike, say, Uncharted (US only) or Siren (JP only) game areas.
I could understand this kind of segregation if a game was only released in that region, but where they are released everywhere why limit the content for the fans of those games?

How can gamers be happy. What you are seeing is a major backlash against overhyped games. Gamers have bought so many hyped up pieces of crap that they genuinely don't believe or trust anything coming out of a reviewer or developers mouth anymore.
Look on any forum for any games website and you'll see people cursing and rubbishing every new game out there. Developer says game A has X, Y and Z and the now cynical gamers think "So that means it has neither feature X, Y or Z but, instead has a half arsed attempt at those features"
The Japanese seem to be the first to be turning away from hyped up games and sales over there are falling steadily. I'm guessing the americans will be next, lastly followed by the british. Don't get me wrong though. Good games will sell through word of mouth as they always have. It's just that so called AAA titles (baring a new gears or Halo) will find that there isn't that automatic rush out and buy that used to exist.

Ultimately the idea of promotional sub-areas can only be justifiable if people are enouraged to use the service, and right now it seems like there's a lack of impetus to try it out. The sad part is that like Sony's whole online system, if you added all the bits from the different territorial zones together it'd be a lot more impressive than what any individual zone has on offer.
To tell the truth I'm at a loss as to why Sony have taken such a fractured approach when surely the most significant advantage of net-based promotion/commerce is its internationalism by default.
