The present invention relates generally to high-speed DRAM architectures, and specifically to timing of read, write and refresh operations.
Traditionally, the design of commodity Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) devices has been more focused on achieving low cost-per-bit through high aggregate bit density than on achieving higher memory performance. The reason for this is the cell capacity of a two dimensional memory array increases quadratically with scaling, while the overhead area of bit line sense amplifiers, word line drivers, and row address (or x-address) and column address (or y-address) decoders increase linearly with scaling. Therefore, the design emphasis on memory density has resulted in commodity DRAMs being designed having sub-arrays as large as practically possible, despite its strongly deleterious effect on the time needed to perform cell readout, bit line sensing, cell restoration and bit line equalization and precharge. As a result, the relatively low performance of traditional DRAM architectures as compared to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) has generally limited its use to large capacity, high density, cost sensitive applications where performance is secondary.
Furthermore, traditional DRAM architectures minimize the number of signal pins on memory devices by multiplexing address lines located between the row and column components of the address. As a result, the two dimensional nature of DRAM array organization has always been an inherent part of the interface between memory control or logic and DRAM memory devices.
The advent of synchronous interface DRAM technologies such as SDRAM, direct RAMBUS, and double data rate (DDR) SDRAM has replaced the separate row and column control signals of asynchronous interface DRAM technologies, such as fast page mode (FPM) and extended data output (EDO), with encoded commands. However, the traditional two-dimensional logical addressing organization of previous architectures has been retained.
An early attempt at increasing DRAM performance by minimizing the latency and cycle time impact of slow row access operations due to the use of large cell arrays led to the creation of two different classes of memory operations, both of which are well-known in the industry. A first class comprises bank accesses. A bank access consists of a row open command followed by a column access. Referring to
A further refinement of such a dual memory access class scheme is the creation of DRAM architectures that explicitly divide each memory device into two or more equal size regions referred to as banks. The intention of this architectural enhancement is to partially reduce the overhead of row accesses by allowing the overlap of memory accesses to one bank, while the other bank is engaged in a row open or close operation. A system implementing a multi-bank architecture is well-known in the industry and is illustrated generally in
A fundamental problem with all of these schemes is the retention of the system of two classes of memory accesses to partially compensate for the slow row access associated with large DRAM arrays. Many real time applications, such as digital signal processors, are limited by worst-case memory performance. These systems cannot tolerate differences in memory access timing as a function of the particular address patterns of consecutive accesses. Even performance optimized embedded DRAM macro block designs strongly tend to retain the dual access class paradigm of commodity DRAM architectures.
Referring to
By alternating back and forth between the two access transistors and their respective bit lines, this architecture can completely hide the overhead associated with closing rows and precharging and equalizing the bit lines. However, the main drawback of this scheme is the greatly reduced bit density within the DRAM array due to the doubling of the number of access transistors and bit lines per memory cell as compared to conventional DRAM designs. Furthermore, such a system also uses an open bit line architecture which is undesirable due to its susceptibility to unmatched noise coupling to bit line pairs.
It is an object of the present invention to obviate and mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for accessing a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) having a plurality of memory storage elements located in rows and columns. A first memory access is initiated by providing a first address signal indicative of the location of at least one memory storage element to be accessed. The first address signal is decoded to select a row and at least one column corresponding to the location of the at least one memory storage element. A word line corresponding to the selected row is enabled and a sense amplifier activated to latch data to or from the at least one selected column. The word line corresponding to the selected row is then disabled and the at least one selected column is precharged. A second memory access is initiated by providing a second address signal indicative of the location of at least one memory storage element to be accessed The second address signal is decoded to select a row and at least one column corresponding to the location of the at least one memory storage element, the second memory access commencing before the step of precharging the selected column has completed.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the following drawing in which:
A DRAM architecture is optimized for high speed performance regardless of the address pattern of consecutive memory access operations. Every read, write or refresh operation has the same timing. This differs from traditional DRAM architectures in which operation timing depends on the value of the target address as well as the history of previous memory operations.
Achieving the same access timing for all memory commands is accomplished by performing a complete row access operation for every read, write and refresh command received. The complete row access operation includes word line assertion, memory cell readout, bit line sensing, cell content restoration, word line deassertion, and bit line equalization and precharge. The following description illustrates the implementation details that permit memory devices or memory macro blocks fabricated using conventional DRAM process technology to perform data accesses with latency and cycle times similar to page accesses performed by conventionally architected DRAMs. However, the present architecture is not dependent on the pattern in which the memory is accessed.
The key implementation details of the present embodiment of the invention include, but are not limited to, physical organization, operation sequencing and overlap, signal levels, clocking, and timing generation techniques. The present embodiment describes an implementation that performs an entire DRAM array access within one period of a synchronous interface clock signal and can accept a new command every clock period. However, a person skilled in the art will appreciate that other relationships between memory operations and interface clock timing are possible. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, other timing relationships may even be desirable, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Referring to
Additionally, in the present embodiment the subarray 504 is organized with approximately one quarter the number of physical memory cells per bit line than would conventionally be designed for a DRAM in the same process technology. The use of fewer physical memory cells per bit line reduces bit line capacitance, which, in turn, reduces the ratio of bit line capacitance to memory cell capacitance. The voltage differential on a bit line is given by the expression:
Therefore, if the bit line capacitance CBL is decreased, then VCELL can also be attenuated while still achieving the same bit line voltage differential ΔVBL. This ratio reduction permits memory cells storing attenuated charge levels to more rapidly achieve bit line voltage differentials similar to those of conventionally designed DRAMS, as will be described in detail below. This further permits memory cell restoration or a write portion of a row access to be terminated prior to the cell reaching a full voltage level of VDD or VSS under slow conditions (high temperature, low voltage, slow process) while achieving robust read sensing with standard sense amplifier circuit designs.
Referring to
The number of bit line pairs per array is limited in order to achieve very rapid signal propagation across the sub-array for a given word line, thereby limiting timing skew. In order to compensate for this relatively small number of bit lines per array, the architecture can use relatively wide sub-arrays if the word lines are appropriately strapped with metal interconnect at sufficiently close intervals. This limits the word line propagation delay introduced by RC parasitics. Although not specifically shown in

A first segment 612 a of the memory address 612 comprises the N least significant bits for addressing an individual word within a row. Therefore, there are 2N words contained in each word line. The length of a word is denoted as W. Therefore, each word line controls access to W*2N bits in each row. For a refresh operation an entire row is selected, so the N least significant bits are essentially ignored or treated as "don't cares" for this command.
A second segment 612 b of the memory address 612 comprises the next M more significant bits for addressing a word line within a sub-array. The number of word lines per sub-array is 2M. According to one embodiment of the invention, M=7 and therefore each sub-array has 128 word lines, not including redundant row elements (not shown).
A third segment 612 c of the memory address 612 comprises the LA most significant bits, which are used to address a particular sub-array within the memory. A complete memory device or macro block consists of A sub-arrays. LA is the smallest integer such that 2LA is greater than or equal to A. Therefore, the total capacity of the memory is (W*2N)*(2M)*A=A*W*2(M+N) bits. Furthermore, the memory interface uses an address size of LA+M+N bits. According to one embodiment of the invention, N=3, M=7, A=104, LA=7, and W=24. Therefore, 17 address bits are used for identifying one out of 106,496 24-bit words and the memory has a total capacity of 2,555,904 bits.
The default quiescent state for all DRAM sub-arrays is all word lines kept at logic low and all bit lines and data lines equalized and precharged at a predetermined precharge voltage level. Read, write and refresh operations affect only the sub-array addressed by the LA most significant bits 612 c within the memory address 612. The A sub-arrays within a memory device or macro block are addressed by the values 0, 1, . . . A−1. Only the addressed sub-array is accessed during an operation. All other sub-arrays remain in the default quiescent state. Read, write and refresh commands cause a row operation within the addressed sub-array using the word line selected by the value of the M bits in the middle segment 612 b of the memory address 612. Read and write operations access the word selected by the N least significant bits 612 a of the memory address 612.

As can be seen from
Each of the precharge and equalization operations are shown at the end of the operation for illustrating that it can overlap the setup for another command. The precharge and equalize operation is shown conceptually tacked on to the previous read operation because logically, the precharge and equalize function is the final operation of the previous command required to bring the subarray back into a stand-by state. However, in the actual implementation, the rising clock edge is synchronized with the appropriate precharge and equalize step for that particular command. For example in

The output of the address register 902 is sent to a plurality of address decoders 904. A first decoder 904 a decodes the N least significant bits of the input address for generating a global column select signal or Y-address. A second decoder 904 b decodes the M next significant bits for generating a predecoded X-address. A third decoder 904 c decodes the LA most significant bits of the memory address for generating a sub-array select signal. The sub-array select signal enables one of the plurality of sub-arrays in the memory device or macro block. A fourth decoder 904 d decodes a sub-array group. Within the memory there are groups of sub-arrays. A sub-array group shares the same data lines, read data register/multiplexer and write buffer, which will be discussed in more detail below. The LA most significant bits of the address select a group of sub-arrays and a sub-array within that group.
The read, write, and refresh signals are combined by OR-gate 906. The output of OR-gate 906 is input to a plurality of AND-gates 908 for generating the word line timing pulse WTPi. The word line timing pulse WTPi is generated locally for each sub-array. Therefore, the AND-gate 908 has the sub-array select signal as a further input and the output of the AND-gate 908 can only be asserted if the associated sub-array is selected by the sub-array select signal. Another input to the AND-gate 908 is the clock signal CLK delayed by delay D1.
The output of the AND-gate 908 is an S-input to an SR flip-flop 910. An R-input to the SR flip-flop 910 is generated by combining the clock signal CLK with the inverse of the clock signal CLK delayed by delay D1 via an AND-gate 912. The inverse of the signal provided at the R input of the SR flip-flop 910 is also used as an additional input to the AND-gate 908 for ensuring that the S and R inputs of the SR flip-flop are never both equal to one. The output of the SR flip-flop 910 is the word line timing pulse WTPi for the ith sub-array. The word line timing pulse WTP1 is logically combined with the predecoded X addresses from predecoder 904 b via a plurality of AND-gates 911. The output of AND-gates 911 is a word line enable signal WL for enabling the selected word line. The word line timing pulse WTPi is further coupled to a bit line equalization circuit 913 via an inverter 915 for equalizing and precharging the bit-line pairs to a bit line precharge voltage VBLP when the WTPi is low. The inverted signal is referred to as bit line equalization signal BLEQ.
The word line timing pulse WTPi is further combined with a delayed version of itself via AND-gale 914 for providing a sense amplifier power supply enable signal 916. The sense amplifier power supply enable signal 916 powers sense amplifiers SAP for providing power to the PMOS devices of bit-line sense amplifiers and SAN for providing power to the NMOS devices of bit-line sense amplifiers. The word line timing pulse WTPi is delayed by delay element D3. The sense amplifier enable signal 916 enables the sense amplifier power supply for powering the sense amplifiers across the bit line pairs for the selected sub-array.
The sense amplifier power supply enable signal 916 is further delayed by delay element D4 for generating a column select enable signal CSE. The column select enable signal CSE is combined with the global column select address signals from column decoder 904 a via an AND-gate 918 associated with that particular sub-array. The output of AND-gate 918 provides a local column select signal LCSL. The local column select signal LCSL enables the appropriate bit line pair via a column access device for either a read, write or refresh operation.
An AND-gate 920 combines the group select signal, the clock signal CLK, and the clock signal delayed by delay D2. The output of AND-gate 920 is a read-write active signal RWACTIVE. Signal RWACTIVE is inverted by inverter 922 for gating serially coupled data line precharge and equalize transistors 924 for precharging a pair of data lines 926 to a data line precharge voltage VDLP when the sub-array is not selected.
The RWACTIVE signal is also combined with the WRITE signal by AND-gate 928. The output of AND-gate 928 enables a write buffer 930 for driving received input data onto the pair of data lines 926. The input to the write buffer 930 is received from a D-type flip-flop 932, which receives external input data as its input and is clocked by the clock signal CLK. The RWACTIVE signal is further combined with the inverse of the read signal and the clock signal CLK via a NOR-gate 934. The output of NOR-gate 934 is a read sample clock signal RSAMPCLK for enabling a differential D type flip-flop 936 for reading data present on the pair of data lines 926. The output of the differential D type flip-flop 936 is coupled to a word-size multiplexer 938. The multiplexer 938 is shown in a conceptual format, but in a physical implementation, it is constructed using a distributed multiplexer configuration. An enable to the word-size multiplexer 938 is provided from the output of a D flip-flop 940. The input to the D flip-flop 940 is the group select signal, and the D flip-flop 940 is clocked by clock signal CLK.

It is important to note that each of the steps described above were initiated by self-timed signals derived from the master word line timing pulse WTPi thereby allowing fine-tuning precision of the timing of each signal. It should also be noted that although the above description referred generically to one selected column and associated data line pair, one skilled in the art would appreciate that in fact multiple columns can be selected by a column select signal, each having associated data lines.
For read operations, a delayed version
Write operations also make use of the self-timed circuitry for generating RWACTIVE, which is referenced to a delayed version of the input clock signal CLK as shown in
Precise control of the relative timing between bit line sensing and enabling of the column access devices is important for performing write operations. Typically, once a word line is selected, all memory cells associated with that particular word line will be accessed and the stored data will be transferred via word line access transistors to the respective bit lines. Subsequently, all sense amplifiers associated with the selected sub-array will begin to sense the data on all of their associated bit lines (for ensuring data integrity within unselected bit lines within the row). In conventional DRAMs, for a write operation, once a particular column has been selected, the write drivers will overwrite the bit line sense amplifier sensed data. In accordance with the invention, however, there is a short interval at the beginning of a write operation between when the sense amplifiers begin to increase the bit line voltage split in response to a word line being activated and the bit line split approaching full rail voltage levels. During this interval, a write operation can be performed through precise control of the timing between bit line sense amplifier activation and column access device activation. If the column devices are enabled too late, then a write operation intended to overwrite opposite phase data on the bit lines will take longer because the write drivers have to overcome a full voltage split of opposite phase. If the column access devices are enabled too early, there is a risk of data corruption occurring from noise coupling between the local data bus (which in this embodiment runs parallel to bit lines) and bit lines unselected for the write operation. The unselected lines are performing essentially a sense and restore operation only.
For this reason, the self-timed nature of the present invention allows for a very tight control between the timing of the word line activation, the bit line sense amplifier activation, the write driver activation and the column select activation. Specifically, the WTPi signal is self-timed from the clock signal CLK, through delay D1, gate 912 and flip/flop 910. The sense amplifiers are then activated based on the self-timed circuit comprising delay D3 and gate 914. The same self-timed signal 916 generated by gate 914 is then used to drive delay D4 and gates 918 which are therefore self-timed from the activation of the sense amplifiers and will be activated precisely at the same time after the bit line sense amplifiers have been activated. Meanwhile, the write drivers 930 are also activated through self-timed circuitry formed by delay D2 and gate 920 and 928. In this manner, write drivers can more rapidly reverse an opposite phase logic state on bit lines to which they are writing to than in conventional DRAM implementations. Referring to

Refreshing the memory contents of the device or macro block 502 is controlled by an external memory controller. The external memory controller organizes the refresh pattern and timing in an optimum manner for a particular application. However, each cell should be refreshed at least once in a predefined refresh interval. The refresh interval is dependent on the implementation and technology used.
In order to periodically refresh all the memory cells, the memory controller issues A*2M refresh commands, one to each row address, no less than once every maximum refresh interval. Refresh commands operate on an entire row of cells at one time within one sub-array and treat the N least significant bits 612 a of the memory address 612 as "don't cares".
When performing read and write operations, the contents of the entire row containing the addressed word are refreshed. Therefore, applications that can guarantee at least one word within every row will be the target of a read or write command at intervals less than or equal to the maximum refresh interval do not need to perform explicit refresh commands.
The DRAM architecture and circuits which embody the present invention described above are targeted for a plurality of high performance applications. The architecture and circuits of the present invention replace the dual access class model of traditional DRAM architectures. As a result, there is no longer an explicit division of memory addresses into row and column components and the memory interface does not include a concept of row state. Without a row state, there is no subdivision of memory capacity into banks, nor are there commands to explicitly open and close rows. The architecture supports and requires read, write, and refresh commands. The latency and cycle-time of these operations are therefore constant and do not depend on the value of the input address.
Because a visible row state is not supported, the state of all DRAM arrays appears the same at the start of every operation. The initial conditions for all operations are all word lines precharged low and all bit lines and data lines equalized and precharged to a precharge voltage. Each memory operation performs a complete row access operation and subsequent bit line and data line equalization and precharge. This greatly simplifies the design of the external memory controller since it no longer needs to track open banks.
Furthermore, the external memory controller does not need to check the address of each read or write operation to choose the appropriate DRAM command sequence to carry out the operation. By comparison, in conventional DRAM systems, the memory controller has to determine if the memory address it wants to access will hit an open page of a bank, a closed bank, or a bank open to a different page.
Although the above implementation has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, various modifications will be apparent to a person skilled in the art. For example, replacing the differential sampling flip-flop 936 with a differential amplifier can reduce the read latency from two to one clock cycles given sufficient reduction in the maximum operating clock rate. Conversely, a very large capacity DRAM implemented using the architecture described above may employ one or more extra pipeline register stages in the read data or write data internal paths within the memory. This may be done in order to increase the maximum clock of the memory or to increase the read data to clock set up time available to the external memory controller. The situation is similar for a DRAM with a very high degree of decimation into many sub-arrays.
The present embodiment of the invention provides extra row and column elements within each memory cell sub-array for redundancy-based repair of some types of manufacturing defects. Generally, this practice slightly increases the size of a sub-array and introduces small delays in memory access. This is due to slower sub-array operations and the need to compare an input address against a list of defective addresses before asserting a word line driver in the case of row redundancy or a column in the case of column redundancy. The timing sequences described in the present embodiment can remove some or all of the row address redundancy comparison delay component of the memory cycle time by overlapping it with the bit line equalization and pre-charge at the beginning of a row cycle. However, an alternate possibility is to exclude redundant elements from a sub-array altogether and instead equip the memory device or macro block with a surplus of sub-arrays for the purpose of repair by redundant substitution of defective sub-arrays.
Column redundancy is implemented by placing multiplexers (not shown in
The practice of performing bit line pre-charge and equalization in a first portion of a row cycle followed by a WTPi initiated timing sequence for accessing a selected row has several advantages over conventional embodiments. The delay element D1 used for delaying the assertion of the word line timing pulse (WTPi) after the rising edge of the input clock, is designed to generate the minimum necessary duration during which WTPi is low. This minimum necessary low duration of the WTPi is designed to ensure adequate bit line equalization and pre-charge under worst case conditions of process variation and supply voltage and device temperature. As a result, the word line timing pulse WTPi is as precise as possible.
Referring to
For operation at a slower clock rate, or under conditions better than the worst case logic delay, the fraction of the clock period during which WTPi is low between consecutive operations is reduced. This increases the time a selected word line is asserted during a sub-array row access. Thus, the quality of memory cell restoration for all operations and the split voltage on the data lines for read operations is increased. Referring to
The present embodiment also describes a system using a synchronous interface that accepts and performs commands at a rate of one command per period of the interface input clock. However, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art to implement the DRAM architecture described above using an asynchronous interface. A timing diagram for an asynchronous interface is illustrated in
In yet another alternate embodiment, a synchronous interface that stretches sub-array access across two or more periods of the interface clock is also possible. Referring to
In yet another alternate embodiment, a synchronous interface that performs operations at the rate of one per clock cycle with read data latency of one clock cycle is possible. Such an embodiment is illustrated in
In yet an another alternate embodiment, a synchronous interface that performs operations at the rate of one per clock cycle with read data latency of three or more clock cycles is implemented. Such an embodiment is illustrated in
Although the invention has been described with reference to certain specific embodiments, various modifications thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as outlined in the claims appended hereto. Furthermore, the invention is applicable to any type of electronic memory that utilizes redundant storage elements for increasing efficient yield. These include, but are not limited to SRAM and various non-volatile memories such EPROM, EEPROM, flash EPROM, and FRAM.

"I honestly don't believe a respected book like the Guinness Book of World Records has a category for pornography. If it does, however, I am SURE that having no nudity on my Web site would automatically disqualify me from competing with girls or Web sites of this nature."
"We were diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility,' which sounds good in one respect, but on the other hand you almost want something wrong so there is a problem so you can fix it."
"[Cindy went through the procedure four times before she finally became pregnant.] I can never forget the day I found out that I was pregnant because it was my birthday, ... Can you imagine a better gift than that?"
"You check the pregnancy test every month, and when it comes up negative it can start to wear on you."
"I don't care how many books you've read, Britney, or what you think you know, but you know nothing, girl, until you take that baby home and you're like, 'Why did they even let me take this child?' ... I'm just happy to be out wearing something that doesn't have throw-up all over it."
"Ever since my husband started playing home games with his buddies, I've been hooked on poker, especially No Limit Texas Hold 'Em."
"It is PG-13, but who knows what is going to happen. It is live TV. There could be an R moment in there."
"It doesn't matter how you get your baby, even if it's via FedEx as long as you get to hold your precious baby in your arms. You can have your miracle child."
"Yeah, baby! I didn't get to keep the pink baby doll outfit, but I wish I did because people are always telling me I should wear it.'
- on being a fem-bot in Austin Powers."

The Confederation of British Industry (CBI), British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and EEF have suggested ways for the Chancellor to tackle the deficit while creating jobs.
The CBI said George Osborne could shift £2.2bn from current spending to "high-growth areas" such as the housing market.
It said 75,000 jobs could be created by spending around £1.25bn on building 50,000 affordable homes.
The organisation also called for £950m to be spent on business tax measures like a 2% cap on business rate increases.
Its Director General said the Budget, on March 20, was an opportunity for the Government to "kick-start confidence" among businesses and consumers.
"Our measures will provide another boost for the housing market and will benefit first-time buyers, those trapped in negative equity and those looking to refurbish their homes," John Cridland said.
"With its relatively short lead-in times, house building offers the most bang-for-buck in growth terms - unleashing pent-up demand while creating jobs and growth."
The BCC also urged the Government to shift its spending from "unproductive areas" to measures that deliver growth more quickly.
It called for 100,000 additional new houses to be built by the Government or housing associations by 2015, and for more investment in road building and repair.
The organisation's Director General John Longworth said time is running out.
"Our own research shows that firms across Britain believe they can drive growth this year but they can't do it alone," he said.
"Bold action must be taken now to boost confidence so that businesses can create wealth and prosperity. That means both delivering existing promises and taking radical action today, not tomorrow."
But although the BCC said it supported deficit reduction, Mr Longworth warned that it could become impossible without sustained economic growth.
He said Mr Osborne may have to apply shock treatment to the economy - including the controversial option of new borrowing to fund investment - if growth is lacking.
"If within the next six months there is no prospect of growth ... you might have to consider actually borrowing more money but you should only do it to fund areas that the market would forgive," he said.
It comes despite Mr Osborne and the Prime Minister ruling out any shift from their plan to rein in Britain's budget deficit.
Last week, David Cameron said the country would plunge "into the abyss" if the Government changed course from so-called Plan A.
The EEF, which represents Britain's manufacturers, said investment was needed in infrastructure, as well as increased competition in banking.
Chief Executive Terry Scuoler said: "Having made it clear that it is sticking to its current economic course, the Government must also demonstrate that it has the strategy to deliver the stronger economy that will pay down the deficit.
"This means accelerating action that will deliver public investment in key areas and unlock investment by the private sector."

via Eurogamer.Do you have multiple PlayStation Network IDs so you can access the PlayStation Store in different countries?
Lots of PlayStation 3 owners do. And so does Sony worldwide studios boss and avid gamer Shuhei Yoshida.
One of the most long-standing complaint against Sony's PlayStation Store set up is that the content differs by region. Because Sony Computer Entertainment divisions operate independently, what's released on the US Store may not be released on the European Store, and vice versa.
Sometimes content that appears on the US Store fails to turn up on the European Store in a timely fashion or not at all. Recent high-profile examples include the disparity between release dates for the superb Walking Dead series, Retro City Rampage, and the mysterious case of the missing-in-action Valve FPS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
There are a number of reasons for these delays. Sony's regional approach means games must be submitted to SCEA and SCEE separately. Each has their own QA and certification process and each signs their own contracts with publishers and developers. It means games can pass certification in the US and fail in Europe, for whatever reason.
Localisation often causes delays, too. Europe suffers here, because of the sheer number of languages that must be dealt with. But Sony fans point to Microsoft and Xbox Live Arcade, which does not appear to suffer similar issues. Microsoft's global system means games almost always launch day and date in the US and Europe.
Yoshida, who has impressed PlayStation fans with his honest approach to interviews and willingness to engage fans on Twitter, took to the comments section of the PlayStation Blog to answer concern on this subject from gamers.
"In light of ever-increasing globalization of the (gaming) world, do you see a future for the current regionalized approach to digital distribution, or do you anticipate one global distribution network (including one PS Store, a global SEN account etc)?" asked chrisboers. "I understand there are (legal and contractual) regional restrictions right now, but in five years maybe? Is this something Sony actively pursues?"
"It's a great question!" Yoshida replied. "There are both positives and negatives in the current regional approach, and I admit I have 3 PSN IDs for Japan, US and Europe..."
Then, in response to Skookie30's questions on the subject (including "Why do you need to use the so called unfair muti-region system that 5 years EU haven't got the same love as SCEA & SCEJ when it comes to content?"), Yoshida suggested gamers be careful what they wish for.
"Managing multiple small countries with multiple languages is much more inefficient than managing a large single country," he said. "You should be careful what you wish for. If you want all regions managed by one perspective, one view of the largest country, then you are not in for a good ride.
"Having strong regional representation with regional operation is a great thing to be able to cater to the needs of the market."
Yoshida's comments will come as little consolation to those still wondering about the status of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on the European PlayStation Store. It launched on Xbox 360 globally and in the US PlayStation Store on 21st August - nearly two months ago.
Valve recently told Eurogamer the game will launch on PS3 on these shores, but Sony has so far declined to comment despite repeated requests.

Sounds pretty garbage, hopefully Kaz sees this as a problem since he's the new head of Sony. From everything I've heard though, Sony is a lot like Capcom in the sense that the Japan and US branches work independently of each other in most cases.
Still, would love to see most games come out day and date globally.Follow me on Twitter @AcesHigh291

We've already known about this with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo... it's the same for all of them. It's a good description explained on some of the reasons these things have bumps in the road. There are too many differences in regional qualifications for content. So when you see something in EUR and not in NA, and vice versa... it's not something a single division would do anything better with. All the licensing and restrictions, etc., will still be right were they were before.

Sometimes its just the publishers being arses.
Take Doom BFG for example, it was released on the 16th in USA but only today in Europe don't tell me they needed those extra days to translate the game.

Would it be safe to say that a region's gaming tastes and preferences play a small role in what content is delivered?..ie. what might sell like crazy in Japan might not do so well in the states..if so then seperate divisions for a worldwide studio might be more effective. Or does almost all the same content eventually wind up on each store? Just curious..
Never had a problem getting the games I want but I see how it can be really frustrating for others having to wait..

i hate that EU gets better instant collection games then the US does, dead space, red dead redemption, now crysis 2...wtf sony
11-07-2012 #18
I think it also has to do with region code like Japan and NA or region 1. EU, Aus and NZ region 2 etc. I think it has to do with controlling release, because they could region it to be by language but it goes back to VHS days when NTSC and PAL even though you can get away with it digitally.
My personal opinion why they don't do it universally is becuase if you wanted it in English everybody would be flocking to the NA store to buy it because it is cheaper so they lose profits on the product.4k mmmkay

Analysts estimated a 0.1 percent decline, the average of 15 projections from Consensus Metrix. Domestic same-store sales slid 1.4 percent, Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonaldâs said in a statement today, while analysts anticipated a drop of 0.6 percent in the U.S.
McDonaldâs, which has more than 14,200 U.S. locations, has been trying to attract Americans with coffee and breakfast foods. The fast-food industry also is struggling with shaky consumer confidence and a severe winter that McDonaldâs says hurt its U.S. sales last month. ...

ABBA-Greatest Hits (30th anniversary edition) April 2006 Sweden and some other territories CD

Bjorn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson -LYCKA May 2006 reissue Swedish CD (May have also been released in Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland)
The original 1970 album plus 14 bonus tracks including one never before
released track-"To Live With You" which is the English language version of "Lycka":...
In some ways this is the birth of ABBA.This album features the first track to have
all future members of ABBA on it and this is the very first album to have all the music written by Björn and Benny. Björn and Benny wrote the music to all of the songs and some of the lyrics. The whole album is sung in Swedish . Björn doing most of the lead vocals, with Benny providing some backing vocals. Benny actually sings lead on one of the songs here-"Kara Gamla Sol", but's it's hard to tell it's Benny. The original album featured eleven songs. The title translates into Happiness. This album was released in the fall of 1970 on Polar Records. As a whole, this album features some of Björn's best work.
Acoustic and Electric Guitar feature more prominently here than they would on ABBA records. The electric guitar, in particular dominates on "Kalles Visa" and "Nagonting Ar Pa Vag". This album is a bit more serious in tone than some of the later B&B songs and early ABBA songs that would follow in the early and mid-Seventies. None of the songs here (even in translation) have a bubble gum lyrics or sound.
"Hej Gamle Man" (Hello Old Man) was released as the single from this album and proved to be successful, though the album was not overly successful. "Hej Gamle Man" features Agnetha and Frida on backing vocals. It was the first song to feature all four members of ABBA. "Hej Gamle Man" actually shows up on the ABBA box set -THANK YOU FOR YOU THE MUSIC.
My favorite song on this album is the great acoustic guitar workout "Liselotte" (it features lyrics by Agnetha and Björn). I also love the anthemic "Ge Oss En Chans"(Give Us A Chance) . "Ge Oss En Chans "has some soulful singing and some great organ. A nice little touch can be found at the beginning of "Lilla Du, Lilla Van' which starts with Benny's piano sneaking in at a low volume.
The stark brown cover is telling. It's clear that their is seriousness of purpose and intent in these two young man. Benny's (age 23) trademark beard puts in it's first appearance on a album cover (Benny (never had a beard on the Hep Stars album covers). Björn (then age 25) looks a little smug but the trademark smile is there. The Swedish flag on the Guitar seems to say ,"We represent Sweden to the world". The LYCKA album was recorded at Metronome in the Summer of 1970 .
LYCKA was produced by Björn and Benny with Bengt Bernhag and engineered by Michael B.Tretow. Benny and Björn played on the tracks with two Swiss musicians, drummer John Counz -drums and bassist -Gus Horn. S.O.Walldoff was responsible for the orchestral arrangements. I have never confirmed whether another guitarist plays guitar along with Bjorn on this album? Anybody know for sure?
Agnetha and Frida had joined up with Björn and Benny to change the group from a duo to a quartet.before a planned followup B&B album was anywhere near completion. Björn and Benny continued to release singles through till 1972. Agnetha and Frida had joined up with Björn and Benny to change the group from a duo to a quartet soon to be named ABBA.
I like this album a lot -but some people just can't stomach Bjorn's singing enough to go out buy this...

ABBA Ringtones April 17, 2006 (not an album or CD)
Snippets from16 ABBA hits (if I counted correctly) were made available as ringtones by Universal Music Mobile and its telecom partners, including Vodafone, SFR, Orange, T-Mobile, DoCoMo, KDDI and other telecom operators..
The Universal press release says that "Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus were personally involved in the selection of the realtones"-well that's reassuring, I would guess were not going to see any "Just Like that' ringtones sneaking out.
The newly available ABBA mobile phone ringtones, chosen mostly from the ABBA GOLD songbook include "Waterloo," "Super Trouper," "Money, Money, Money," "Fernando," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Voulez-Vous," "Does Your Mother Know," "Honey Honey," "Take A Chance On Me," "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do," and "Thank You For The Music." "Ring Ring," "Mamma Mia," "SOS," "Dancing Queen" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).". These ringtones are lifted from the actual masters and thus are "realtones" not synthesized ringtones! If i had a cellphone-I think I would go with The Hep Stars-"Wedding" as a ringtone... I hate cellphones -I hate cellphone bills.
ABBA - Music Box Biographical Collection July 2006 UK DVD
Released by Plastichead in the Uk...Another unofficial ABBA DVD biography of questionable quality... This one features ABBA publicist John Tobler...and little else of value...
Abba: Gold - The World's Greatest Albums DVD June 6, 2006
Quoted verbatim from the jacket-"The story behind Abba's Gold, one of the greatest pop albums ever made. Drawing on rare Abba performances from TV and film archives around the world, this is the first ever independent film review of Abba Gold. The film draws on the reflections of a team of leading critics, musicologists and working musicians to produce the most authoritative and comprehensive review of a landmark in popular music." OK I like, ABBA too, but the ABBA Gold album just annoys me.
Annie Sofie Von Otter-I Let The Music Speak, Deutsche Grammophone DG
477 9701 , International CD August 20, 2006
Sofie's new CD covers the full spectrum of the Benny Andersson/Bjorn
Ulvaeus songbook from early ABBA through Chess, Kristina and finally to
the BAO. This album includes three new English lyrics of songs
originally recorded in Swedish. Two of these songs ("Walk with You
Mama, and Butterfly Wings " )are Bjorn's first new released English
language lyrics in a long time.
The third new English translation is a translation of "Efter Regnet"
called as one would expect "After the Rain" ,the new lyric is by the
original lyricist Mats Norklit.
Benny Andersson is pictured in the liner notes and he looks like a old
man, and he manages to plays piano on two tracks -"Walk With You,
Mama"and " After the Rain". Benny's friends -Anders Eljas (piano,
arrangements) and Kalle Moreaus (banjo) also play on the CD. The
recordings were actually made in September 2004 at the the Atlantis
Studios (the studio often used by ABBA that was formerly known as
Metronome studios) The album was produced by George Wadenius , who
also plays on most of the tracks. The release was delayed partly
because Anne's busy schedule as operatic singer did not allow proper
time to promote the album in 2005.
As fascinating as the selection of songs is. I am not sure that Anne's
voice is ideal for some of these songs.... Still "Walk With You, Mama"
works as do a few other tracks. Benny is pictured in the liner notes
and he looks like a old man....
ABBA fans are starting to call Anne "Sofie The otter" .They named a
new otter pup at the Stockholm aquarium after her, the other one they
called Bjorn!

Rajaton with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra: Rajaton Sings ABBA November 2006 CD
This very fab Finnish acapella vocal group performs ABBA covers on this album.
Rajaton consists of Essi Wuorela (soprano), Virpi Moskari (soprano), Soila Sariola (alto), Jussi Chydenius (bass), Hannu Lepola (tenor), and Ahti Paunu (baritone).
So that would be - three woman and three men singers sort of like an adult Finnish Brady Bunch.....This CD is released by the amazing Plastinka label. Originally, Plastinka was just a plastics company, but in recent times Plastinka has branched out into music and fine stemware. Visit their lovely factory in Turku and you will get a autographed CD from Rajaton.
Ah Finland- I kind would like to be in Finland now, somewhere up in Lapland in a small cottage with a reindeer. (Review by Edsel Felpin)

ABBA-Number Ones November 2006- 2 CD
Yes. like the Beatles, Elvis and the Bee Gees, ABBA's compilers have attempted to compile all their number one hits on one CD...Of course, ABBA did not have enough number one hits in any one country to fill an entire 74 minute CD,only the Beatles can make that claim..So instead this CD must compiled on the idea that all or most of the songs on the first CD were a #1 chart hit somewhere on some kind of chart....This package also includes a bonus audio CD.
A slightly different version of the album was released in the UK standard version (this version includes Ring Ring and the extended version Summer Night City extended version)

SNL - 1975 - 1976 -The Complete First Season -December 2006 8 DVD box set
Includes every episode of the first season that featured Chevy Chase, John Belushi and others. Thus this set includes ABBA's appearance on NBC's Saturday Night on 15 November 1975, in a show hosted by Robert Klein. Their performances of "SOS" and "Waterloo" are notorius for being lip-synched, but are still entertaining. Still, this DVD box set is probably not worth buying unless your a Saturday Night Live fan...
SNL shows and performances have been released and rerunned before, but usually not in their entirety, so this first time that the complete show that ABBA performed on has been widely available. on video or DVD.

Hershey Kisses: New York Cheesecake
When I got the toffee Kisses I also found a bag of Limited Edition New York Cheesecake Kisses! Of course they found their way into my cart as well. The 38.5oz bag was also around the $5 mark.
Their foil wrappers were a little more sophisticated with a pinstripe pattern, and of the course the paper flag indicates you are about to eat a cheesecake kiss.
The milk chocolate on these was much smoother and glossier than the toffee kisses, which looked a little beat up.
The tangy center had a pretty good portion of creamy cheesecake compared to the amount of chocolate, but I think it might have been too much. Though pleasant and tasty, they're a little too sweet for me. I think a bigger cheesecake fan would appreciate these more than I did, but I'm not complaining!

Defying international disapproval from western donor nations, Uganda's president has signed a controversial law allowing those convicted of homosexuality to be imprisoned for life.
At a public ceremony in a packed room at the State House in Entebbe, Yoweri Museveni formally initialled the anti-homosexuality act, which also outlaws the promotion of homosexuality and requires citizens to denounce to the police anyone suspected of being gay.
"Outsiders cannot dictate to us. This is our country. I advise friends from the west not to make this an issue, because if they make it an issue the more they will lose. If the west does not want to work with us because of homosexuals, then we have enough space to ourselves here."
Supporters clapped and laughed during the press conference. One MP sitting at a white table in the front row, said: "I hope the Obamas are receiving it live, Desmond Tutu, Cameron … [Museveni] has resisted them."
The ethics and integrity minister, Simon Lokodo, said: "I feel very fulfilled, very elated, because at last my head of state has pronounced it on behalf of the entire nation, Uganda, that this is a bill that was worth putting in place."
Pity Uganda. Religion and patriotism working together to make bad people feel good about themselves.
