Have any plans getting some FF on with your Wii? If you're planning on getting Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, then you might as well pick the right crystal you want to bear. I'm talking about the differet pre-order bonuses that you can catch from different retailers. Just like with Gran Turismo PSP back then, each retailer is offering a different kind of swag, so read up and see what they've got.

"Consumers are back out spending again." That's what Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn said as he described his anticipation for the forthcoming holidays. Even with the economy going the way it is, the industry seems to have won them over, getting them to spend on their toys again. More after the jump.

I guess we should have been more specific. When we said we're waiting for a confirmation on the Nintendo Wii price cut, we meant (and we thought it should have been obvious) that we were waiting for it from Nintendo. Well, it doesn't look like Ninty's up to the plate anytime soon, so in the meantime, this confirmation will have to do -- from Sony.

"Price cut" seems like the console mantra for months now, putting the pressure on major players in the industry to take a bit off their hardware price to stay competitive. Nintendo, so it seems, remains adamant about not lowering the Wii price, despite five months of sales decline, possibly going six. If Nintendo won't, then the retailers may be taking matters into their own hands, with rumors of price cuts surfacing anew.

Okay, Nintendo. Just spill it out already. Ads for the Wii price cut are "leaking" out one by one on every major retail store, all tagging the same price, and you're still saying nary a thing about it. Here, Best Buy joins in on the fray this time.

Wow. The PSP's on a bit of a roll today. Here's another announcement for the Sony handheld, and while it's not exactly for a new game, it's just as good. We're talking about SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3's official release date. The date and pre-order details after the jump.

This is just a rumor folks, but we've come across word that Sony's pricing scheme for the PSP Go, currently set at a pretty high US$ 249, could still change prior to the handheld's October 1 launch. Get your saltshakers out and hit the jump for more.

The release was supposed to be for early September, but now that the PS3 Slim is available, retailer supplies aren't even gonna last until then . The newly-announced, slimmed-down model of the PlayStation 3 is apparently selling so hot that retailers' first shipments have already been sold out.

While the whole world eagerly awaits the September launch of the PS3 Slim, Best Buy must've gone, "Why wait? Get it here now." Readers out in Florida, better check your local retail shops right now, this one's for real. The PS3 Slim is now up for sale.

When the economy is the way it is and cash is a little hard to come by, sometimes you gotta cut down on the gaming splurge. For that, Best Buy will soon be stocking ten-dollar PSN Cards in addition to the US$ 20 and US$ 50 that they've already got.
