"Many people are dieing in Africa and we want to learn how to make Japanese account?"

I really, really don't see what this has to do with anything.

The point is simple: access to exclusive content on the Japanese PSN. (FolksSoul, PSone games, etc...)

that's why it's recycling all the old materials.

neogeo6152d ago

I myself am very happy with this. I'm downloading folklore right now.
If only I knew how to add money so I can buy some of the great games on the Japan store:(

DarkJedi6152d ago

first of all you need a credit card that's registered in japan. If you've got one of those chances are you'd be able to read japanese anyway so it wouldn't be a problem.

Yoshiki Okamoto: Japan's Game Maverick Speaks

Yoshiki Okamoto is a luminary of the Japanese gaming industry. He got his start in the '80s at Konami, producing arcade classics Gyruss and Time Pilot, before moving to Capcom to work on such hits as 1942, Street Fighter II and Resident Evil.

In 2004, Okamoto left Capcom and founded his own development studio, Game Republic, which has since produced a number of games, principally on behalf of Sony -- the Genji series for PS2 and PS3, Brave Story: New Traveler for PSP and Folklore for PS3 comprising the lion's share of the company's output.

Now, as the company moves forward into the mature next-gen market with a contract with Brash Entertainment on a Hollywood movie licensed title, Okamoto discusses his dissatisfaction with Game Republic's output up till now.

Sony Japan is set to continue a PlayStation tradition with the PlayStation 3: an official budget lineup. A Japanese online retailer has posted listings for the first set of PS3 titles to fall under the new "PlayStation 3 the Best" lineup.

According to the retailer, PS3 owners in Japan will soon be able to pick up PlayStation 3 the Best versions of Resistance, FolksSoul, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Gundam: Target in Sight, and Ridge Racer 7 for 3,800 yen ($35 USD) each. All five will arrive on 3/19.

i cnt wait for them to get greatest hits collection

hazeblaze5935d ago

This is great news... hopefully, this means the U.S. will get it's own greatest hits line-up soon!

MaximusPrime5935d ago

35 bucks is 18 quids here. very cheap.

I hope they call it platinum. That is a cool name.

Regret5935d ago

I guess it got to be platinum to name it so :/

TheHater5935d ago

I think that Folksoul, Ridge Racers, Gundam, and Ninja Gaiden will sell a lot more now. I really don't know about Resistance.

FamilyGuy5935d ago

I wonder how long before they're released in other countries (U.S. namely) $35 is not bad, it aint no $20 greatest hits but its better than selling a year old game for $60.

I hope they expand the list of games too, so far Ninja Gaidan is the only one im interested in since Resistance 2 might be out by the time this hits U.S. retailers.

rofldings5935d ago

I'm guessing the pricing in the US will be different, most likely $25-30

mrpotter5935d ago

I'd exepct the announcement for greatest hits in the U.s sometime in April after the start of the new fiscal year thats how they always do it..... Expect some more psp greatest hits and playstation cards to drop around th esame time too E3 is just to far off.
