Heavy Rain had a good advertising campaign over here in the UK. I'd say probably Sony's best advertising since the launch of the PS3. There were like 4-5 adverts in one break sometimes. COngratz to it anyway.!!

Forza! Wow, continues to impress big time!! Uncharted 2, brilliant, should see some sales pickup for it if it wins GOTY at the BAFTA Game Awards aswell. Expect Eyepet to be in the top 40 next week....

Heavy Rain is doing really well.
Forza 3 is back in the top 10, eh.
AvP's drop is quite unexpectedly small, might be a sleeper hit.

Heavy Rain had articles in the mainstream press. It was the cover story to the Times saturday supplement. I wonder how well it will hold.

White Knight Chronicles and Silent Hill Shattered Memories are in the bomba department.

If Heavy Rain is at 100k in the UK, it would have the same opening as Mass Effect 2. Very impressive.
