Thank you to Goldrusher and Reminder for their help in posting lists for the foreign stores and Chubigans for the custom banner.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-Japanese content is up now.
-Europe content is up now.
-North America content is up now.

-FYI: Some people's credit cards DO work on foreign stores with an incorrect address.
-Currency exchange fees (usually a standard and relatively small amount) may be applicable to your credit card. Check with your CC agreement for details.
-The Gran Turismo 5: Prologue demo on the Japanese Store is GONE.
-Motor Storm 3.1 in-game update has been released.

To get GT5: Prologue off the Japan Store:
Note that I have not done this but I have tried to go through as much of the buying process as possible without having my own PSN Card. You're on your own after step 6.
This is not an all-inclusive guide and I am not responsible for any mistakes you make in the buying process.
1) Set up a Japan Store account. Alternate guide here.
2) Try your credit card on the Japanese Store or buy a Japanese PSN card HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or
HERE or HERE. (see additional notes about this step below)
3) Select GT5: Prologue and Add it to your cart.
4) Go to check out and start by clicking the option on the right.
5) Continue clicking until you get to a page with 3 options.
6) Pick the third option and enter your PSN Card code.
7) Finish the checkout process and download the game when you see the list with GT5: Prologue in it.

NCSX importers email you the code and don't charge shipping. When ordering, the freight charges that show initially will only disappear shortly before you get to the final checkout page. NCSX also currently appears to be out of stock of 3000 yen cards.

Playasia DOES charge for shipping and you have to wait a few days to get your card. However, they have more options for the denominations.

You can also purchase the game from any import store.

THIS WEEK ON PSP:

Setting some expectations for my listing of PSP Store content. I will only post the PSP list after it gets posted on the PS blog. I'm not going to track content outside of the U.S. nor am I going to track upcoming releases. It's simply way beyond what I have time for. If somebody else wants to start keeping track of that, feel free.

The last update was on December 6th.

There was in Japan but it was taken down November 30th. I hope there is an American one some time in January or February before it is released here.

How much is GT5 Prologue? Not familiar with Yen, can someone who understands what that is translate it into £ British Pound if it's not to much trouble. Thanks. :D

These banners never get old :lol

So, if I were to get the MP Burnout demo, would it include an SP mode? I know it sounds stupid and I would never suggest it normally, but I recently dl'ed the Timeshift MP demo (horrible POS demo) and it contained an SP mode as well.

No one knows. There's no set rulebook on it.

I would approximate that there is about 100 yen to a dollar and 200 yen to a pound, give or take 5 dollars or pounds.

There is only one demo. According to the trailer, it has both single and multi-player.

On NCSX's site they have it for $45.90. So going by that it's £22.42 for people in the UK.

Sweet! I hope those European themes will come to the American PSN.

Come on Bust-A-Groove! This is totally your week!

edit: Tanod are ya gonna do something like a PSN year in review thread at the end of the month or something? With that wall of links you keep putting in the OP it'd be really easy to look back and vote on best/worst week/release/etc!

Can't wait for the Burnout demo, it should look pretty amazing.

Trying to decide if it's worth getting the Japanese version of Prologue or not :/

I thought about doing a comprehensive list type of post that I could periodically update. Maybe a thread that lists all the demos that are on the Store but I didn't think of anything like about what you're saying. GAF does have an official GOTY vote so if you feel like it, make sure you throw in your favorite PSN games.

You have access to the links too. Feel free to do whatever you'd like with them. I don't own the IP on the OP. :p

Unless I'm mistaken, it said so in the demo trailer that went up today.

This is possibly my most anticipated demo this year. I was just playing burnout 3 a couple days ago!

Bust a Groove is coming to PSN? I'm buying that day one if or when it comes out! I love that game :D

Why remove the demo of Prologue before the game comes out? Surely that defeats the whole purpose of having a demo...

Okay, I'll try to use my CC with my Japanese account then, if not then it's time to email my friend over there. XD

If last week is any indication, just because we know 1 thing going up on the store, we don't have any clue about everything. Always surprises! :)

Hmm i didn't notice until now but it seems that PS1 games(PSN) that are multidisc(Arc the Lad II) do not work with the PS3 and only the PSP.

Kinda shitty.

Guess that means we can say forget it to LOD
