Since it seems a number of you do stop by on the weekends, we’d like to give you a bit more to read. Would you be interested in what other people are doing on the PSN; specifically, top 10 lists? For instance, here are the top 10 downloads this week from the PSN video download service:

Let me know – we can pull more stats like these if you’re interested in, say, the top SingStar downloads of the week.
The reading list is a bit short this time out, as we spent most of the week traveling/attending E3/Comic-Con, so we’ll definitely want your link suggestions in the comments area.

Stinkin Mushroom | July 27th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Sure, top downloads and stuff are always welcome.. :) Would be cool to have regular stats about how many new members you have each month on the PSN for example..

NickDude | July 27th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
when is it coming to the uk though?
5
NickDude | July 27th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
and if you could provide actual download numbers, ie: Hitman (Unrated) – 23,567 that would be excellent

nuck44 | July 27th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
More content is always great :)

Spartancloud | July 27th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
That’s some cool stats and all but i’m still wondering when this service will come to Canada, i really want to be able to rent HD movies.
Also is there movies that are 1080p?
And will we be able to buy HD movies in the future?

tezasaurus | July 27th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Meet the Spartans is #4? I’ve lost hope in humanity.

Morphine16 | July 27th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
10k BC leading the way, movie was not really that good, Xam`d anime is very good. Nice job with the stats, will love to see them on weekly basis :)

VenomX | July 27th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Awesome! It would be pretty awesome if you could tell us the following every 2 weeks.
-Most played PS3 PSN online game
-Top downloads for the PS game store
I think it’s pretty cool to know what everyone else is playing.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 27, 2008 at 11:54 pm
OK, I’ll see what kind of lists the Store team can generate for this post.
11
XxBigP123xX | July 27th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
10,000 BC, Hitman, and Meet the spartans in the top 10? Wow.
Also the DRM sucks. If I delete a T.V. show I payed for, wasted my bandwith and PS3 storage on I will never be able to download it again?
?
12
VenomX | July 27th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I gotta rent Cloverfield. I never seen it.
13
DarkGeneral88 | July 27th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
@11
Sony staff would have to correct me if I am wrong but from what I understand it says it can only be downloaded on one activated system meaning your main one and can’t be downloaded to other playstations like PSN games can. I can’t say for sure if that is correct as I never read the user agreement but if you can only download purchased material once that is horrible and I say let the video store portion crumble. I can understand not other systems as the movie industry would consider that casual piracy.

Money1 | July 27th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Xam’d is a good anime, already rented both episodes along with punisher, I love that movie. Guess I’ll rent Hitman now and check it out. will we ever be able to purchase HD movies?
15
yunier91 | July 27th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
yeah do it but also if you can include top game and number of download
16
XxBigP123xX | July 27th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
@DarkGeneral88
I’m not talking about sharing the videos. I’m talking about if for some reason my PS3 fails, how am I going to get my videos back? They’re not in the “Downloads List” in the video store so Sony obviously doesn’t want us downloading the videos 2 times.

Aaron | July 27th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Thanks for the stats Jeff keep’em coming!
I agree with #10’s suggestions! :)

KazeEternal | July 27th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Can’t believe they listed that lame Jane Wells article. Reading that article is like asking someone who has never seen a movie before what the best action flick ever is. Just because her kid happens to have a pension for supporting the losing side.
Anyway some interesting articles Jeff.
oh and GIVE US BACK BC!! have to throw that in for good measure.
19
PirateThom | July 27th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Yeah, Jeff, if possible I’d like to see the Singstar downloads!
You guys still don’t have enough Radiohead on there! :p
I love me some Singstar. I’ve lost count of how much I’ve spent on it!
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 27, 2008 at 11:56 pm
This we can do.

iceman | July 27th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
hey this week is gonna be awesome ………by the way I’m useing my iPhone to post this ……..
@jeff I heard a rumor that soon there will be a way that you could link your iPhone to your PSN account just wanted to know if this was true
21
Terminator | July 27th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Of course we would like that. Especially something like the most played games on the PSN, but let’s say the top 20 and not only the top 10 like major nelson does for xbox live.
I have been looking forward to you making this lists for a long time. Good job Sony.
22
ftwrthtx | July 27th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Thanks for the stats Jeff.
2 quick question:
Does Grace Chen ever read the comments when she posts the store update?
Do you know if we will see any more classic games for the PSP/PS3? (i.e. Rainbow Six, MGS)
23
NinjaZeroEight | July 27th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
When is the video store coming to Canada? Will Canada even be getting it?
24
Chaos_Bladez | July 27th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Family Guy should be number 1! :D
Does the video store update every Thursday like the game one? I think that’s true but I’m not %100 on it.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 27, 2008 at 11:57 pm
The updates are not tied to a particular day or time.
25
Chaos_Bladez | July 27th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Damn, I mean 100%.
I hate when I do that… :(
26
chopsuy | July 27th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I’m definitely interested in stats like these, please keep ‘em coming!

iceman | July 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I like stats 0_o :]
28
Fallen_Guardian | July 27th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Can you have a list where it shows about how many PSN games have been sold thus far for each game?
29
JamesL007 | July 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I can say I work at TripleTags.com and after you guys gave my boss a link like that he has not shut up about it, like his ego wasn’t big enough already ;)
But Serious I have to Thank Jeff who runs this blog a lot for that and say Thank you to him.

JDog09 | July 27th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I would like to see some PSN game sales numbers. Thanks for the post Jeff! :)
31
Delriach | July 27th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Defintely put the top information up for lots of stuff. Top downloaded games, movies. Top played games online would also be sweet.
Also, what ever happened to part 2 for the PJMs couples post?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 27, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Tomorrow.

Kamakazikenny | July 27th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Heavy rain? It guess its getting a huge blow out at Leipzig.
What part of SCE is working on HOME. From my impressions of Kaz and jack they dont expect HOME to hit this year. The longer it takes the less excited people are going to be about it. I wish Phil was still here. He was a true gamer and i salute his vision of GAME. 3.0.
33
PyroJack | July 27th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I think that if your going to show stats you should use LBP to do it. I mean once you see stats shown with LBP you can’t go back.
With that said I think its nice to see posts on the weekend.
p.s. you should consider showing things like percentage increases in sales with price drops of different games/movies.
34
Kazammm | July 27th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Sweet, I am looking into getting Xam’d. It looks good. But from a glance, it looked like I could only rent it. I wanna buy it and rewatch it. :(
35
Mana Knight | July 27th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I’d like to see top SingStar downloads please. :D

skaterricky | July 27th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I Like to see how many downloads it was per TOP DOWNLOAD…. example 100,000 downloads!

We can we expect the Canadian video store to go live? August? September? By the end of the year?

whatisdelicious | July 27th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
I’m absolutely interested in any stats you guys can pull. Keep them coming!

jazzagers | July 27th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Is Xam’d only available for purchase? All I see is a buy now option.

It would certainly be nice if you can provide more top 10 lists like this one Jeff. Keep them coming.
