    Is Trashbox the Chinese version of  Trash Panic? I'd much rather get that free than any of the US Welcome Back games.

    For those interested, the Japanese offering is actually a bit different: 
     
    PS3

    • The Last Guy 
    • LocoRoco Cocoreccho! 
    • Echochrome
    • WipEout HD 
    • Hustle Kings
     
    PSP
    • What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? 2 
    • Everybody's Stress Buster
    • Patapon 2
    • LittleBigPlanet
    • LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival 

    Yes, Japan gets to choose from 5 PSP games -- it's the nation's most beloved gaming platform, after all. 
     
    Anyway, here's hoping I get to cash in 4 games on all 4 of my accounts.

    I personally find the Asian offerings to be much better than the Western ones. The only game I have no interest in whatsoever is Hustle Kings (billiards). But hey, different folks different strokes.

    @Axersia: 
     
    I'm actually looking forward to getting Hustle King, it looks terrific, especially for a pool/billiards game. 
      

    So now that the maintenance is finally over in Asia, what games is everyone getting? I'm trying to figure out which games I should get from Japan and which ones in English (Hong Kong account). Isn't Locoroco Cocoreccho really short? If I remember correctly it's one of those smaller games that's really cheap.
     
    I'm definitely getting Echochrome, since there's no language requirements to play the game, plus it's a unique offering. I wanted to get The Last Guy, but I'm having second thoughts after reading Jeff's review. But that would mean I'd miss out on Trash Box...argh, confusing.
