Today, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 is officially dropping in price across both models.

Earlier today at Gamescom, Sony revealed a $50 price cut for both models of the PlayStation 3, bringing the 160GB slim model down to $250 and the 320GB slim model to $300. In addition to the price cuts, at select retailers across America, Sony is running a limited-time special bundle for $300, which will include the 320GB system, a copy of inFamous 2, and a 30 day PlayStation Plus trial. The price drop is effective immediately, allowing newcomers to jump in without a wait.

Pretty sure it's pronounced "Blaze Blue."

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II is a PSP Port (hence the “II”) of Continuum Shift, which was released first for arcade and then for PS3 and Xbox 360. The port differs slightly from the original: it includes all the DLC characters from the start, and it features a new Abyss mode (more on that later). Like the other titles in the series, this game is outrageously complicated. It’s clearly made for a niche audience (“hardcore” fighting game enthusiasts) of which I am not a part. But, complexity aside, the battles are fun and nice to look at, so it seems they’ve struck enough of a balance that even those who don’t really know what they’re looking at can enjoy the view.

Jason Ross stopped by the extravagant Disney Interactive booth to play a bit of the upcoming multiplatform title, Disney Universe.

Let me begin by saying the Disney Interactive booth was most certainly one of the most expansive booths at all of E3 this year. There were two main sections aside from the meeting areas, and they were some of the most elaborate and colorful E3 areas here. On one side, was a Phineas and Ferb coffee house, where Disney elected to give away free flavored coffee. Don't ask me how it was, I don't drink coffee, sorry! The other side was made to look like the interior of a house: There was a kitchen, with custom Mickey Mouse and Disney magnets, a computer area, where E3 guests could try out a Disney computer title or two, and then a living room-type area, where Cars 2, Disney Universe, and a few other titles were on display.

Resident Evil goes in a new direction.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is definitely not your typical Resident Evil game. Raccoon City takes a bold step away from the traditional and modern styles of Resident Evil and goes a whole new route, basing its gameplay on intense action and co-op. The result is actually a lot better than one would imagine.
