Amid anticipation of when Capcom will finally announce the date for the release of the new Marvel vs. Capcom 2, it finally dated the new game for the PSN and XBL.

Earlier, it has been reported that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will come out on June 29 based on the projection made after Marvel Entertainment’s first quarter financial report. Capcom, however, clarified that the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be released by late July.

In their company’s Twitter account, they confirmed that: “MvC2 is not actually coming out on June 29, sorry guys. Not sure where that rumor came from, but it’s going to be closer to the end of July.”

Sorry to say that it would still take a month before we enjoy this new game from Capcom and Marvel. But with the surely famous beat ‘em up games produced by these two companies before, I’m sure the wait will be all worth it.

Sony spoke dramatically and forcefully at the annual Destination PlayStation event of “another record year of growth and momentum” for the PlayStation Portable and the PS3. Says the CEO and President of Sony Computer Entertainment, Jack Tretton,

“With a year of record sales ushering us into the new year, we continue to raise the bar on providing consumers the deepest and broadest entertainment content for every member of the family to enjoy. With new content being added every day to the PlayStation Network combined with an unmatched line up of exclusive titles on PSP, and the roll out of truly groundbreaking games such as Killzone 2 for PS3, we remain confident in our approach and strategy for another record year of growth and momentum.”

This declaration comes on the heels of the announcement of two new PSP entertainment packs, including the lilac PSP. Things are certainly looking on the up-and-up for Sony, as they stood behind previews of a formidable showcase of forthcoming PS3 titles. Games such as Killzone 2, inFamous, MAG, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, God Of War III, and MLB ’09: The Show are set to drive sales through the roof this fiscal year. We’ll keep on rooting that Sony gets to the top.

Here’s a snippet from the Middle East that’ll make the rest of the global turf a bit jealous. Batelco, the United Arab Emirate’s leading internet service provider, is giving away a Sony PlayStation Portable to any new subscribers. They’ll even give it to current subscribers who decide to upgrade their service package. Here’s a quote from the Batelco Media and Government Relations General Manager, Ahmed Al Janahi:

‘We are continually looking for new and exciting ways to reward our customers. By offering a high value gift such as the PSP which is the ultimate hand held multimedia & gaming system that plays games, videos and music and also stores photos, we believe this promotion will be very popular.’

We wouldn’t mind seeing an offer like that in the western hemisphere. We’d think about bumping up our bandwidth for a free PSP. Sounds fair to us.

NIS America claims that they game needs a few improvements in order to make sure that it’s in the best shape possible prior to release. Work will continue on the project until at least February. As we draw closer to Spring, we’ll have more information about this game right here.

For now, stay hopeful, have a snack, call your mother, and get between eight and ten hours of sleep each night.

Beginning-of-year game sales in the Japan is an important figure for some industry statistics crunchers, so Media Create has dropped a list of video game bestsellers from the period of January 5th,  2009 to January 15th, 2009. Dissidia: Final Fantasy occupies the top spot, which doesn’t really surprise anybody.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy, from Square Enix, has occupied the number-one slot for game sales for three weeks in a row, ever since it launched at #1. Not much on the list is outright startling, except that one PS2 still holds a spot in the top-ten. The PS2 really knows how to hang in there, which, on second thought, isn’t really surprising, considering what a kick-butt system it was and still is. Here’s the official run-down from Media Create:

• Dissidia Final Fantasy – PSP – Square Enix
• Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) – PSP – Capcom
• Rhythm Tengoku Gold – DS – Nintendo
• Wii Fit – Wii – Nintendo
• Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode – DS – Nintendo
• White Knight Chronicles – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gundam Musou 2 – PS2 – Bandai
• Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe – DS – Nintendo
• Mario Kart Wii – Wii – Nintendo

There it is, folks. Chances are you own at least a few of those titles yourself. Stay glued to your screens for more sales rankings, which we’ll post right here as the year unfolds.

After declaring bankruptcy last November, Circuit City failed to find a buyer to assist in refinancing and restructuring. Speculation puts the blame on poor management, myopic retail strategy, and a refusal to stand up to its major competitor, Best Buy.

This is sad news, indeed. Hours did we spend wandering around that store, touching stuff, ogling stuff, and wishing we could buy stuff. Heck, we even got a few good deals or two on open-box stuff. Most of the time, though, the customer service was awful.

We did like spending time in their enclosed audio demonstration chambers, on the other hand. We’ll miss the store, and our sympathies are with the 30,000 unfortunate workers who will be out looking for a new job.

Word on the street is that Sony handed down the iron fist to Sony Ericsson, insisting that Sony will only license the Playstation brand if Sony decides to manufacture the new gaming devices independently. That’s some weird intra-corporate power politicking, if you ask us.

A Sony Ericsson spokeswoman said that they “could not comment on what Sony has or hasn’t said. In the past, we have been keen that our product proposition lives up to brand promise, and we feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone.”

Hopefully, the two supposed cooperators will get their panties untied and work together on some really amazing gaming hardware under the Playstation brand. We’ll look forward to what their mutual innovation will produce in the near future. For now, stay tuned for more updates on this fun corporate drama.

A little bit of frustrating news from the clip-on hardware scene: Datel’s Lite Blue Tool does not put your PSP Brite into “Service Mode.” This is seriously disturbing to a few of us who bought the thing for that exact reason in the first gosh-darn place.

On the website, they pretty much rewrote the product description to edit out the promise of its compatibility with the PSP 3000. Instead, it states that it “lets you enable Service Mode on the PSP 2000 and also works as a normal battery on the new PSP3000 (also known as the BRITE).”

Oh, well. We expected too much from the get-go. Time to brush our teeth, get a collective shave and a shape-up, and press on towards the non-existant glory of total third-party hardware satisfaction.
