The Limited Edition Xbox 360 bundle will be released the same day.

Puddle is about as fun as stepping in one.
Not many games have bored me like Puddle has. This game is a victim of itself, providing a very simple and laid back gameplay mechanic that is so relaxed that it may put gamers to sleep. If it’s not putting you to sleep, it’s frustrating you with gameplay situations that you would rather not be in. While the game is somewhat acceptable in short bursts, playing for any time longer than ten minutes will either enrage you or tire you. Simply put, you probably wouldn’t care enough to play the game.
Dead Island's newest downloadable content is available now for the PC, Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Marketplace), and for the PlayStation 3 (PlayStation Network).

Service to reward preorders with bonus content.
It’s no secret that publishers are not fans of the used games market. They’ve attempted to sway gamers to buy new whether it’s through online passes, the promise of a free downloadable game or pre-order DLC. With Prototype 2, Activision is taking another route to incentivize gamers. Those that preorder the game will get free access to Radnet – a program that will reward users with additional content.
Like Sony, EA appears to be adopting the practice for any and all games.

Multiple accounts per system are on the way.
Nintendo's online system has long been a point of contention for both fans of Nintendo and hopeful adopters. Given the major strides made in online integration to home consoles this generation, Nintendo has finally announced plans to deliver similar services on the upcoming Wii U system, as well as a number of other functionalities that encompass the 3DS. The overarching online solution is branded under the name "Nintendo Network." Perhaps the most important announcement is that the Wii U will have individual user accounts - no longer will the online functionality be tied to the system itself.
The previous FF XIII leading lady will only be playable through DLC.
