For Japan and america we have hardware and software charts. For the pal territory, we have only hardware charts, and no software charts.
But software charts exist, by gfk and chart track, so if vgchartz is really vg charts, we must post seriously these charts if they are available.
For this week, i think, we have all the thread, and i think we must respect the territory defined by ioi:
UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, Australia, Other europe.
For this week, all the thread exist, and it will be good, if every week, we make all the thread seriously.
I give hier the complete list of the thread, and the better link i find do do these thread:
1) UK thread:
http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=7464
the links:
http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110015
http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110032
But we could post the charts for each console if we want, they are available on the website of chart track, with full price and budget price (it's a long work obiously, but if one person do the job, just this job, it's possible)
2) French thread :
http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=7728&start=0#end
the links:
http://www.sell.fr/spip.php?article57
http://www.gamekult.com/blog/marchiavel/
Note that, we have only this week the charts for the week ending 9 september, because in france, it's very hard to obtain the charts, and there is only one television channel (mcm) which give the charts with a big delay.
I 'm agree to post these charts every week.

Note that for these charts (the sixth last link except the link at consolewars, which are official link), this is the same link for every week, and so the old charts are replace by the new charts, so we must copy them when they are available.

5) Italy thread:
http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=5729
It's prosugno360 which give the charts every week with the numbers, these charts come from gfk, and he give rounded numbers.
Link for gfk charts with different sku of a game not together (so it's not really the top we want, but it's posted every week by lo statistico):
http://www.forumeye.it/invision/index.php?s=16adcb0ac3636828049ef52a3753c504&showtopic=394628&st=10
Link for gfk charts with different sku of a game together (it's the top we want, posted by gorla5 in the begin of the thread if it's him which begin the thread):

6) Scandinavia thread:
http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=7612&start=0#end
the links
For sweden charts:
http://www.mdts.se/ (official link)
http://loading.se/news.php?pub_id=885 (a link where it is easy to make a copy)
For finnish charts :
http://www.figma.fi/lista.htm (official link, but not always updated)
http://plaza.fi/edome/suomen-top-10/
For norway :
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp20konsoll.hbs
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp10handholdt.hbs
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp10pc.hbs
But those links are not very good because they only give the lastest charts available. To obtain the charts we want:
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp20konsoll.hbs?liste=2&uke=25&aar=2008
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp10handholdt.hbs?liste=3&uke=25&aar=2008
http://www.vg.no/spill/topp10pc.hbs?liste=1&uke=25&aar=2008
The links posted above give the charts for the week 23 of 2008, and have been published during the week 25, so it is easy to understand what change to obtain for example the charts for the week 30 posted during the week 32.
7) Australia thread:

the link:

But neos, give image which is more pretty, but the dates change. I think, he will solve the problem.
At this link, we have the images of neos which dates change every week, it's interesting because we can copy them every week and have the charts:

For the other country in other europe, if it exist more charts, it's intersting, but i have no idea of what we can found.
Conclusion:
If vgchartz is really vg charts, i think we must post these charts every week, the most seriously as possible. But, it's a long work, and i have search all the info i can find, to present you this thread, and the famous 8 thread (which are already do, for certain, by other vgchartz user).
There is 8 thread to do.
It will be good if 8 or more for the last thread vgchartz user help to make these 8 thread every week. I give all the official link i know in this thread, so it's not as hard as that. Certain link miss. I expect, we will find all the link to do this job greatly, and also, the vgchartz website will really be the vg charts website, we dream, and i'm sure, this is this website ioi want, and i expect all we want.
I 'm agree, to post you the french charts every week.
We need your help for all the other charts.
