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.

Europe always the last.
105
Doctor What | July 27th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
I’d definitely be interested in the top SingStar downloads. I check by here most days, so weekend updates are always welcome.
106
saiyan92 | July 27th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
yea you should definitely continue those top 10 lists, its pretty cool knowing what people enjoy most and helps when trying to figure out what to buy or play

HI JEFF!!! I think there must be a way for our posts not to be ignored…i red so many comments about what the 2.40&2.41 update not delivered to us…and in those lists i couldnt see the biggest negleting-mistake(in my opinion,and i think for a lot of users)caused by these updates,which is the music playback problem while on the internet browser or watching photos!You cant fast forward/rewind,u cant even pause ,the track u are listening anymore!!The mini control panel doesnt has these functions…and u cant no longer enter the main control panel(the one with the earth animation)to do it from there… You fixed and really update even tiny features&functions in this last update,so please fix it too in the next….its too bad one thing that worked well,to have problems now,caused by the updates!i hope you are aware of this problem!!i even hope to read this comment!
109
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 12:43 am
the problem appears only when u are in the browser or watching photos…just try it and u well see…cause i think most users havent realised it yet

skaterricky | July 28th, 2008 at 12:57 am
@100 im sorry about that… my comment was moderaded and it was a great sites around wanting all PS3 users to give me feedback on what they thought about upgrading our PS3 HDD’s..
@ everyone on the Blog…I think we need to throw in a Post for our Blog again but this time any user can put in a input of what game we want to see be put on the PS Store from old Classic games from PS1 for PSP and PS3 to play on… or just ideas of new things..
Like a Input of what Next Features we would love to see put in our Next or upcoming Firmware Update :D
That way SONY can get a Idea on what games and features they need to work on first in geting out to the public quicker.. Because like each Gamer we love games and the ones we love we would buy first more then the games that were not to intrested in.
—– I have a Idea! ——
What if each month we have a drawing for to win our comments posted in a specail color for the winner of the month in a random drawing of somekind or have a clicking link thats has a random number that is randomly selected and on that certain time of that special random # click that person could be the winner!:D just a great random tought :P

Thanks for Reading Ricky,

@to all in the blog you dont care about the problem that i mentioned?
112
Herby | July 28th, 2008 at 2:23 am
I am definitely interested in the Top Singstar downloads. Maybe that will get us better songs in the game. Please make sure the Top Download list is for US only because the download list of UK songs will not be a reflection at all of what is available in the US.

gantz85 | July 28th, 2008 at 3:22 am
Hi Jeff.
(1) Is the Xam’d download figure for the entire season or just for single episodes? Can you split them by episodes?
(2) Can you make the PS Blog compatible with Firefox and Opera? More than a quarter of the internet folk use non-IE browsers (40% use Firefox, in the latest surveys) so multi-browser compatibility would help alot.
114
CitizenErased | July 28th, 2008 at 4:39 am
I’m also interested in seeing the top 10 most played online games aswell as the top 10 downloads.
Also have you gotten any details on those Elefunk trophies? I know you’ve been busy but I’m dying to know.
Also is it possible to get official Metal Gear Solid 4 character profile themes? I love Solid Snake but I also love the rest of the cast.

116
Stephanie1 | July 28th, 2008 at 6:06 am
Jeff can u upload a list of the most played online games of the PSN?
Would be awesome to check if I could jump in on any of them =)
117
cabrito | July 28th, 2008 at 7:12 am
Hey Jeff!!
This is great, it’s always good to have this list of news and the video top ten is a great addition, even if you don’t have access to the video store. Like my self :(
Keep up the great work man!
118
Onna76_NL | July 28th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Rrrrr…. that Valkyria Chronicles hands on made me want the game even more. By the way Jeff, any luck on contacting the people about Disgaea 3? That game needs to be hyped as well :-)
119
scorpio | July 28th, 2008 at 8:15 am
When is the video store coming to CANADA?
Also stats on which games are played most would be cool.
Thanks…

Eternity_Viper_Snake | July 28th, 2008 at 8:19 am
i have a suggestion i downloaded a movie witch was assome seeing how that works and happy on the download time but my suggestion is the way we do movies we should do with games as of renting them as well…. instead of all people trying to get there hands on those blockbuster hits rentals and worried that there going to be out by the time they get there they can just rent them online as well as movies are done of course an expiration date is in need but you all can figure out those kind of things again a suggestion i think that would be cool and boost up sales maybe?…. you can count me in i like to rent before i buy… keep up the good work :)

hms84 | July 28th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I just want to congratulate you guys (PS3 team) BECAUSE THE PS3 HAS SOLD OUT IN SAUDI ARABIA
NICE WORK
KEEP IT UP!!
122
TerrifyerCW | July 28th, 2008 at 8:38 am
hms84, where in Saudi Arabia do you live?
123
michigander692002@msn.com | July 28th, 2008 at 8:48 am
If you decide to make the TOP 10 games played on PSN, you should have an overall list and then split up disc-based and downloaded, so that you end up with 3 lists total.
124
Abdulrhman | July 28th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Yep … The PS3 Is The Most have Next-Gen Console In Saudi Arabia … Thanx PS3 Team For Hard Work and we wish More

TheVesra | July 28th, 2008 at 9:12 am
OFF TOPIC~~
for the video store as far as rentals are concerned, i would like to see actual “now playing in theaters” movies for download. i hate going to theaters, to many idiots and morons to enjoy the films these days. with there cell phones and talking back to the screen and just general stupidity. talk about boosting the power of the ps3.
ON TOPIC~~
how about a top ten list of most requested features to be added to the XMB. top ten online BRD Games played per week. top ten blog whiners. top ten monthly blog posts (judged by comments)
@minas, doesn’t bother me in the slightest. i only have music i actually want to hear on my hdd anyway. and why would you want to rewind/fast forward a song while photo or browser viewing anyway?
126
willskate4free | July 28th, 2008 at 9:15 am
lists are great…. good job. would love to see top psn game downloads and top online games played (hard disk and download). keep up the great job.
127
kenji | July 28th, 2008 at 9:37 am
will Playstation Life be coming out this month as mentioned or has it been cancelled?

Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 9:48 am
@100

@109&@110
you can rewind/FF during browsing with the mini player
131
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:23 am
@TheVesra Im complaining about 2 reasons about this problem…1) i believe that the updates must fix and update the current features of my console,and shouldnt <> something that worked well before them… 2) are u believe that all those tiny little new features(except the big new features in-game xmb ect..)are more important than that problem?ok, i talk about user’s menu ‘turn off the system’,the settings menu ‘reassign the controllers’,the mini control panel(that its minus functions cause the problem)?ect?tell me what do u think of that?i m glad about these small touches,but i think its more important to protect this which worked just fine…
132
Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 10:24 am
@36
about the ps3 hard disk
Any 2.5 inch 7200RPM sata will work
133
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:26 am
@Thetruefiziks OOOOHHH YEAH??? how???? i think you are mistaken!!i have try it all!!
134
Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 10:28 am
@minas
access the xmb during playback while you’re browsing, go to the music menu and the player’s located there with all playback options available
135
Neil | July 28th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Yeah all types of stats are interesting to read. How about listing the order of “Summer Sale” games downloaded this past week.
136
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:31 am
@thetruefiziks you are mistaken…!if access the xmb,as u say,i find in the top of music column, a mini panel…ok?look closelly…do u see these functions?no…
137
Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 10:36 am
@minas
ok maybe no fast forward or rewind. but stopping and playing is practically the same thing as pausing it.
138
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:36 am
@thetruefiziks u might confuse it with the older way to play music…the 2.40&2.41 caused the problem i mention!
139
Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 10:38 am
@minas
yeah in the mini player I see R1 and L1 control tracking, they should implement seek with R2/L2
140
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:41 am
@thetruefiziks no it isnt the same…!when u pause it the track stays exactly where it is…when u stop it all your progress with the music just disappeared! this worked just fine before the latest update…
141
Ghostm | July 28th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Ummmm, whatever happened to Playstation Life? Jack had said at the end of the month.
142
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 10:45 am
we must do something about it!!for them to mention it,and to fix it,
i mean…
143
Thetruefiziks | July 28th, 2008 at 10:53 am
you gotta catch ‘em on a new, relevant thread
144
WretchedBass | July 28th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Who with Singstar could I talk to? I want some hard rock/metal songs. From like Guns & Roses, Alice n Chains to like Mudvayne or something.
145
gardea | July 28th, 2008 at 10:58 am
I love the video rental thing. My dad was excited about the new video store, but said it was lacking some classics (I don’t know what that means, probably some old movies from his time lol).
I would like to see some Grounded for Life episodes and more movie rentals (some movies you can only buy, not rent…)
146
minas | July 28th, 2008 at 11:15 am
SOMEONE FROM SONY!!!ANWSER ME…JUST THAT U ARE AWARE OF THIS!NOTHING MORE!!!!!!

corrale | July 28th, 2008 at 11:19 am
@10 & 50
Most played PS3 online games…Smart statistics, not only big new games the have a lot of players who just got the game but they never return because it’s a bad game.
I want to know if a game has good online replay value !!! What can I buy and get months of online battles with a bunch of people.
i.e. COD4, I would stop playing it when the new and hopefully better COD5 arrives. Maybe….
This would be the best buying guide !!!

Good to know the top download/favorite. But please give out an estimated time for releasing in Canada, or other countries so everyone can enjoy the video service. Thanks.
