Eidos France and Amazon.de reveal limited collector's edition, exclusively for Europe.
Set to be released on September 10th, most Kingdom Hearts fans have no doubt already pre-ordered their copy of Birth By Sleep. Depending on where those pre-orders are placed, however, some may want to do their business elsewhere. While the pickings for North American fans are slim, pre-orders placed through either GameStop or Amazon will score customers PSP stickers modeled after the Japan-exclusive, Birth By Sleep edition of the console. Purchasing from Amazon also nets customers an e-voucher good for $10 off their next game related purchase, effectively reducing the price to $29.99.
For our friends across the Atlantic, or just for those willing to pay extra for region-specific goodies, there's the Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Special Edition. Packed with a copy of the game, a 48-page artbook, a set of art prints and a fancy box modeled after Japan's Birth By Sleep Ultimania, this should prove to be the definitive edition for fans. RRP for the Special Edition is 35 EUR, however Amazon UK is currently taking pre-orders for a little over 29 EUR with free super saver shipping.

While Dead Rising 2 isn't scheduled for release until October, Capcom has a quick fix for those wanting to start their zombie killing a little early. Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, currently an Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable game, has been announced for an August 31st release. Priced at 400 Microsoft Points ($5), Case Zero takes place two years after the original game and follows Dead Rising 2's protagonist, Chuck Greene, roughly three years before the start of that game.
Series producer Keiji Inafune spoke at this week's Comic-Con, saying: "With Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO we had two goals: provide newcomers with an easy point of entry to the Dead Rising universe, and give fans of the series an insight into what took place after Frank West survived the outbreak at the Willamette Mall." For players that purchase both Case Zero and Dead Rising 2 a number of goodies can be carried over. Five player levels, prestige points, skills and alternate outfits have been revealed so far.
As for PlayStation 3 owners, bear in mind that the original Dead Rising was also an Xbox 360 exclusive. There's no official word yet, but we expect this to be a timed exclusive as Dead Rising 2 is headed your way.

Bearing in mind this falls squarely into the realm of "what ifs" for now, an unnamed Sony producer -- likely someone from Sanzaru Games -- spoke with Kotaku's Stephen Totilo about the possibility of adding an effect slider to the upcoming compilation. While the PlayStation 3 requires both a 3DTV and a pair of 3D glasses to display games in 3D, the strength and direction of the effect are controlled through the game itself. Under normal circumstances, for the full 3D effect, players would need to be seated within a certain distance from the television while also having to face the screen from specific angles. By mapping control of the game's 3D effect to, for example, an analog stick, developers may be able to allow players to "pick their own spot, more or less, and then adjust the intensity of the 3D graphics to suit their position."
The Nintendo 3DS comes with a slider built into it, but the PlayStation 3 currently has no means of adjusting these effects; players have to adapt, not the games. Following a change in Sony's ToS regarding discomfort caused by prolonged exposure to the console's 3D effect, this seems like a good solution for everyone. The Sly Collection is due for release this holiday season with, or without, the effect slider. In the case of the latter, hopefully Sony doesn't let this concept go to waste.

Unlike its popular Madden NFL and Tiger Woods PGA Tour series, which receive annual installments, EA's Fight Night receives sporadic entries. The last we heard from the series was back in mid-2009 with the release of Fight Night Round 4, a game that refined and expanded upon its 2006 predecessor. Looking to keep the creative juices flowing EA announced Fight Night Champion on Tuesday, set to be released sometime next year for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Featuring a new control system, dubbed "Full Spectrum Punch Control," Vancouver-based EA Canada are once again pushing the series forward. Promising that Champion's controls will be more user-friendly while also delivering the most realistic punching system to date, boxing fans and fight enthusiasts alike should have something to look forward to this time next year.
