In case you guys are still not aware, PSP Firmware 3.03 is already out. We have already settled before that despite its issues with homebrew games and applications, the updates allow for more PlayStation games to be played on our dear, lovely handhelds. True enough, just hours after the release, Sony Japan has announced a new batch of titles that can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.

The following titles will go live beginning December 21 for the Japanese market only. They can be purchased for the usual price of 525 Yen or roughly around US$ 4.45. Also, we're pretty sure you're quite familiar with some of these titles as they've been ported before for the U.S. market.

• R-Types (Irem, shooter)
• Taiyo no Shippo (aka Tail of the Sun, Artdink, action)
• U-SA (Artdink, puzzle)
• Dino Crisis (Capcom, action-adventure)
• Global Force (SCE, sim)
• Gekisou Tomaranna (SCE, racing)
• Maru Oukoku no Ningyou Hime (Nippon Ichi, RPG)
• The Convenie Ano Machi wo Dokusen se yo (Hamster, sim)
• Mr. Driller (Bandai Namco Games, action)

As of this writing, Sony Japan is yet to make any statements about the said titles being available in other territories. In the meanwhile, why don't you try your luck with Santa's PS3-for-one-dollar offer...
