Happy Holidays! Let's get this rolling because I have a TONS of stuff to play and I'd rather be doing that right now. Sorry, but I've always been open about my priorities! So let's treat this like the speed round! To the links!

SALE
Jeopardy is the only package to get the sale treatment this week, and it's not a limited time offer! From here on our Jeopardy is going to float you $9.99 - nothing more, nothing less!
Add-Ons
BUZZ! Quiz TV National Geographic: Undersea ($7.99)
More fun to be had with more ball packs for High Velocity Bowling this week. Not sure how much content they're going to release for this game but they sure have been releasing a lot of stuff here lately.
- Patches Pack One - free
- Gutter Bird Ball - free
I don't think there's been any free DLC for Hot Shots Golf up to this point, but I guess they're in a giving mood! For the awesomely festive price of free a new character has been introduced to Hot Shots Golf. Welcome Toro as we all wish they would also add Trophies to the game. MOAR TROPHIES PLEASE!!
Speaking of Trophies, if you own LittleBigPlanet there's no reason for you not to spend at least $5.99 today. There's a ton of new content and some of it even comes with Trophies. For the first time we recieve premium level packs that actually come with new levels and TROPHIES!!! For $5.99 the Metal Gear Solid Level kit comes with new stickers, new levels, new Trophies, and the PAINTINATOR! I'm going to spend the $5.99 for the Level Kit as well as the $5.99 for the MGS Costume kit and be extremely happy about it. I know some people have been vocal about the costumes being over priced, but I've enjoyed the little $2~5 I've spent on the game so far, and I think this whole set is going to be absolutely worth it. Check out the article for the video on the new levels. Trust me you won't be disappointed with this $6.
- Solid Snake Costume - $1.99
- Meryl Silverburgh Costume - $1.99
- Screaming Mantis Costume - $1.99
- Raiden Costume - $1.99
- Metal Gear Solid Costume Kit - $5.99
- Metal Gear Solid Level Kit - $5.99
It's been a while since I've put some serious time in to PAIN, but I did play for like 10 minutes the other night. I still have to unlock a lot of stuff, but I'm still tempted to get the new character just to have them all. I bet he'd be fun for some of the combos due to his sheer.... girth. For $.99 grab sumo character Ao No Kutsu.
Disgaea 3 Adell DLC - $1.99
Disgaea 3 Disgaea 2 Character Pack - $4.99
Disgaea 3 Nekomata DLC - $0.99
Disgaea 3 Rozalin DLC - $1.99
Nothing like releasing a game with DLC goodiness. Almost as good as Dead Space releasing DLC the week before game release. But LUMINES Supernova flies in a little higher priced than I had hoped, but I'm still going to get it and the free Holiday Pack to go along with it. Not sure if it's Christmas songs or what, but I'm sure I'll play like crazy!
Demos
Demos... which I have absolutely no time for, but I did manage to play NBA Live 09 demo last night and I was actually impressed with it. I haven't been impressed with a basketball game in a really long time, but I was actually enjoying it. I still absolutely suck at them - just like I have since Double Dribble for the NES - but it was fun. After a few 2 quarter games I was able to not get crushed and only lose by 2 or 3 points, but check out the demo and/or the game if you were worried like I was.
As for this week, we just have 1 lonely demo amongst all the other awesome game and DLC that I won't likely play for another month or two.
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Demo
Games
Finally the time as come! LUMINES Supernova flies in for $14.99 - which as I already was higher than anticipated - and has me very excited. Trophies, make and add your own music, game modes, and let's not forget awesome game play on my wide screen HDTV! Those last two would have been good enough for me honestly.
For the rest of the people who have cried for PSone Classic games, today we can enjoy the old skool RPG of Suikoden. For $5.99 you can go through the process of regaining all the 108 characters from the game on your PS3 or PSP. For those that embark on this epic journey - again - I will pray for your souls.
Videos
I'm really surprised at this, but there's only one video this week. Now I'm glad it's this video, as I always forget to check out the webpage - since it's not on the PlayStation.Blog, and it gets annoying watching it inside of Home because of all the text chat popping up. But here's our lone video for download today.

Well that's it for me, time to go work on my new Trophies I've just gained access to. I have to get up early tomorrow and I'm not going to bed early tonight. Tomorrow's going to be a rough day!
