The Store allows users to purchase full games as well as download demos and HD game videos.
Since the European launch last week, many PS3 owners have complained that they cannot access the Store at all. These users come from Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Slovenia.
Sony's director of corporate communications had this to say:
"There are more than 102 territories in the region, and each Store has to be made unique for each territory due to different currencies and languages," he explained. "Stores will reach some territories in due course."
The director did explain that some countries would not be able to access the store at all due to a myriad of factors including a lack of broadband penetration. "The PS Store may not be accessible in Azerbaijan, for example," he explained.
For those countries that have to wait, Sony has not announced how long you will be waiting.
