2010 seems to be a new slate for most video game companies, as upcoming blockbuster games such as Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain and Bayonetta won't make it out this year as planned. Now you can add one more title to the list, the heavily anticipated Crysis 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

Information's starting to trickle out for Electronic Arts and DICE's sequel to the blockbuster FPS hit in the Battlefield: Bad Company franchise. According to an EA Forums post, it's been revealed in the OXM UK issue #56 that 40 players have been confirmed for online play in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). Take out those beer kegs, this is sure to be a party.

Here's something in case you wanted to dash your hopes of a PS3 price cut. Wanting to get at the bottom of the current rumors floating around of a price cut, VGChartz contacted SCEA for comment, and got this reply: "SCEA has no immediate plans to drop the price of the PS3 system." Though of course, next week could also be interpreted as the not-immediate future.

Well looks like Sony finally caved in and introduced a price drop. Don't get all excited though, the price drop is only for the discontinued 40 GB model. A leaked Blockbusters' memo shows that Sony is permanently dropping its price tag down US$ 40 to US$ 360. More details after the read more link.

UPDATE: SCEA reports that the price cut wasn't mandated by them. Looks like the price cut is just from Blockbuster.

Well, finally. SCEA will further expand the availability of its PlayStation Network cards, which will soon be available at Walmart, Best Buy, and select Sam's Club outlets by October. It will also be available at Barnes & Noble College Bookstores starting November.

It's been a long time coming, and now we can breathe a sigh of relief. The PSN has landed at your nearest Blockbuster stores, and this time, it's for real. Video proof after the jump.

Yeah, it sucks when you see something you like on the PlayStation Network but you don't have a credit card to top up your online wallet. Don't worry too much, though. GameStop may not be getting its share of PSN cards until next year, but PS3 owners will be able to get the cards from three more retail outlets starting next month. More in the full article.

 Michael Pachter is at it again, analyzing and giving his thoughts on matters concerning the game industry. This time, he laments how much money could have been made if a timely game tie-in to the blockbuster The Dark Knight was released. He says Warner Bros. and EA may have missed out on US$ 100 million. More after the jump.

Things are certainly looking up for EA's Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). It's about to hit retail stores in a few hours, and so far, it looks like the reception of the people are good. This is if you look at the number of downloads the demo has gotten since its release. Read up after the jump.

It looks like everyone's dishing out there own version of "Gamer's Day." Sega's own rendition, however, may be the one to stand out from the rest, since its multi-genre, multi-platform, and multi-franchise collection is studded with highly-anticipated hopefuls. So aside from Iron Man and upcoming game adaptation of The Incredible Hulk, Sega laid out teasers for fans of Aliens, Total War and the stealthy action title, Alpha Protocol.
