Here's some good news if you happen to live in the land of gaming goodness (that being Japan).

Sony has given one hundred customers of the Japanese PlayStation Network service a "PSN ticket" valued at 5,000 yen (roughly $44 USD), provided that said customers use those points toward the purchase of a new game or classic title from the PSN from 12/26/07-01/07/08.

If you're listening, Sony, I'd like some free points too...
