Namco Bandai has just announced an amazing incentive to preorder Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3 at certain stores - downloadable content (dlc). That’s right, you’ll get free stuff, only available by a direct download, if you decide to preorder the game at GameStop/EB Games or GameCrazy. There is a dilemna though - each store will have a different preorder deal.

If you stop by your local GameCrazy and preorder, you’ll receive a download card with your game that will unlock the Hidden Leaf Village’s Second Hokage as a support character and also provide a new single-player mission. If you decide to go to GameStop/EB Games’ website or store and preorder, you’ll get a card that unlocks the First Hokage support character and another single-player mission. Since these are going to be cards that unlock dlc, they’ll most likely be good for one download only, so you’ll have to decide which Hokage you think looks best…

Ninja Town is going to be arriving with quite a bit of fanfare in the US - a bit ironic. You’d think a ninja themed game would stealthly slip into stores, but Ninja Town doesn’t star typical ninjas, so I guess it fits. In case you haven’t heard of the game, it is a tower defense style title, which means you have to protect a certain area and keep enemies from progressing, and you strategically place ninjas on the map to accomplish this goal.

Ninja Town‘s release is going to be celebrated with a limited GameStop preorder promotion and parties attended by the people behind the game. First, the GameStop promo - the first 200 people who preorder the game will receive a small stuffed toy of Ninja Dropping, Business Ninja, Feroshi the dino slug, Wee Devil or Zombie Ninja…

Last week (August 5, 2008) SCEA marketing manager Mark Vallador wrote a post on the PlayStation Blog about some interesting items that will be given out to anyone who pre-orders LittleBigPlanet. At that time we didn’t know which retailers would be carrying each item but now we do (well two retailers anyway).

It’s important to note that each retailer will carry one specific item for this promotion so choose wisely. If you want to get your paws on the official LittleBigPlanet Creator digital miniguide, you must pay a visit to…

As everyone may (or may not) know, GameStop began its annual Game Days sale on June 2, 2008.

All of the new games and accessories are 50% off, while all applicable UMD movies are reduced to $4.99.

Despite the fact that CNN, Wall Street analysts and even the United States government continue to warn the American people of a possible recession, the video game industry hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
