ANNOUNCEMENTS:
In lieu of making the thread last week for the UK and JPN content that went up, I did a comprehensive (minus DLC and trailers) list of everything that went up in the U.S. from launch up until the last update of 2007. I also included a detailed feature list of all of the PSN games, a Japanese PS1 game list and a list of all the demos available.
In case you missed it: PSN Content 2007 - "almost" Comprehensive List
-Japanese content is up now.
-Europe content is up now.
-North America content is up now.
-According to a post on Kotaku, United States PSN Cards are starting to appear in stores.
-In Europe only, at the moment: Super Stardust HD game was updated to v2.0. Includes rumble and custom soundtracks. Redownload the game from your download list if you already own it to install the patch. It will not update your US copy if you download this.
-There is also a SSD HD demo which can co-exist with the original US game on your machine and you can try out the new features that way too.

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 20th.
