Still waiting for Alone in the Dark? Is a release date of autumn 2008 too vague for you? Not to worry, Eurogamer just got official word from Atari that Alone in the Dark for the PS3 will be arriving in November. Obviously, Eurogamer reports on European release dates, but since Alone in the Dark for the PS2/360/Wii launched in the US four days after the European release date, we are assuming the US will get the game in November as well.
Hopefully, we'll see some of that episodic content to make up for the time PS3 owners had to wait. Or did the five-month delay (coupled with hilariously bad reviews) cause any disinterest?

Reaching Episode 6 means you’re halfway through completing the game and tying up all the knots of the story. Episode 5 left us hanging when Sam and Melissa are in pursue of Bella while Howard and Miyako are facing trouble on their way to escaping the village. With Amana getting her memories back, what dangers does that entail, and how is she involved with what’s going on in the village?
Episode 6 will take you to first control Howard in the mining area where Sam was first found in Episode 2. The environment is set in daylight, but don’t think it will be scary at all. You’ll be exploring deep into the underground mine, and you’ll have to rely on Howard’s flashlight at all times when you’re down there. Follow the map if you want to complete this episode in less than 15 minutes.
After Howard’s mission, you’ll have to control Bella. This is the most disappointing mission because all you have to do is guide her to the church to meet her parents. I’ve finished this mission in less than three minutes. So If I were to combine the total play time of both Howard’s and Bella’s mission, Episode 6 will roughly take 10-15 minutes.
When it comes to a scare factor, the only time I get the feel of the game is when I am in the underground mine, chasing the pursuer. Bella’s mission didn’t make me feel scared. It’s mediocre because all I had to do is try to run into the church.
Episode 6’s plot is getting interesting, but the main disappointment is how short this episode is. Since we’re six episodes away to the finale of the game, the twists are becoming weirder and weirder. Hopefully in the next episode, the scare factor continues and the gameplay length for each episode is at least 30 minutes.
SCORING BREAKDOWN
Episode – 7.9/10
It’s becoming more complicated! Is this a dream or a reality? What is Amana’s purpose in the game?
Scare Factor – 7.5/10
Average. You’ll only get the scare factor feeling when you’re in the underground mine and that’s it.
Game Length – 6.9/10
One of the shortest episodes. It only took me 10-15 minutes to complete this episode.
Overall – 7.4/10
Episode 6 was not something I expected. It’s a mediocre episode. They’ve added some questions to the end that might either annoy you or confuse you.

A new PlayStation 3 console was approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission last week, according to the agency's online filings database.
No information on the new model, number CECHL01, is available at present from the filing because Sony was granted short-term confidentiality on the papers but it is likely the 80G-byte version announced earlier this month during the E3 games show in Los Angeles. The console is due on sale in the next couple of months and will replace the current 40G-byte model.
Sony's filing to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission was made because the FCC is the radio regulator in the U.S. and as such all new products that use radio must be submitted to the organization for approval before they can be sold.
The PlayStation 3 includes both 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

For those who doubt mind knowing the ending to this game or just don't intend on purchasing it and just want to know the ending well here it is.YouTube user zookeeper52591's channel has every single ending to Soul Calibur IV. I'm not quite sure how long these will last on the actual profile cause sooner or later they will eventually get reported and banned.
Note: This is the same person that brought you all those GTA gameplay videos days before the game was actually released to the public.
In a beneficial turn of events for the home entertainment industry, Blu-ray sales continue to rise drastically despite the staggering U.S. economy.
As DVD sales decline, Blu-ray has been filling in the gap, generating more than $200 million in the first half of 2008. This is in stark contrast to the same point last year, where Blu-ray earnings were less than 33% of current figures.
“We are trending 8% Blu-ray sales [per title], and at the end of the year, we will be between 10% and 12%," stated Mike Dunn of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Lori MacPherson, general manager for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, North America contributed her thoughts.
“I think people are becoming pickier on what they spend their money on, but home entertainment always represents a good value. Thirty dollars for a Blu-ray movie that you can watch over and over again is still a great value,” she commented.
As Blu-ray production costs begin to drop, savings will be passed on to consumers and, in return, Blu-ray will take an even more prominent place in people's homes. With HDTV penetration higher than ever, Blu-ray may very well overtake DVD prior to 2012, the previously accepted prediction.
