Let’s face it, Paradise City is a pretty lawless town.
From April 30th however, Paradise City citizens can breathe a sign of relief and be able to safely walk the streets again, the threat of some fool in a beat-up Carson GT tearing over the horizon and into their children a distant and unhappy memory. The law is coming.

The chain is broken! After the slim Japanese update and the anorexic Hong Kong update, we are pleased to announce the hefty European update to you. The Europeans. Living in Europe.

Following the not a lot going on here trend, Hong Kong skimps on new Store content today. They even kick it down a notch. We hope this is not contagious like last week’s infection/outbreak/whatever-the-hell-that-was. We’ll call it the “PS Store Incident”.
