The multiplayer beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 announced publisher Electronic Arts.
The beta will start on November 19 and you can sign up for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PS3 beta at the official Battlefield website.
“This is an outstanding opportunity for PlayStation gamers to get early access to one of the most action-packed and polished shooters in the marketplace,” said Sony CEA Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations Rob Dyer.
Featured in the beta will be a 24-player map called Arica Harbor that will showcase the revised Rush mode. This map takes place in Chile which is a completely different environment than the Russian.
Although this beta is exclusive to the PS3, there will still be a beta for the PC in December. There’ll also be a multiplayer demo for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC early next year.
Here is the announcement trailer.

Demon’s Souls Tutorial Video Guide (thx to tm10)
How to Save Souls (Glitch)
There is a way to easily save souls using a glitch. As soon as your character dies, hit the PS Button BEFORE the game auto-saves. If done correctly, when you reload your game you should start close tow here you originally were when you died but you will MAINTAIN all of the Souls you had before you died.
How to Find Hidden Items in Boletarian Palace
You can find hidden items within the Boletarian Palace after you have killed the Red Dragon inside. Once you have defeated it, return to the area where you were the two dragons were sleeping (before the bridge to the main gate lever). Now that the dragon is gone, you will be able to get some bonus items that include: Ring of Strength, Ring of Fire Resistance and a Renounced Hero Soul.
How to Fight the Old One Early On
There is a way to fight the Old One earlier than usual. To do so, you must first defeat the Vanguard that you find at the end of the tutorial stage. After that, you will be sent to an area with a large dragon outside the windows, soldier’s souls, and some items. If you go outside, you will encounter the Old One. Who will kill you, sending you back to the Nexus to continue your game.
How to Defeat the Red Dragon
To defeat the Red Dragon (which you will fight on the bridge going to the Tower Knight), make sure you have a crossbow with 100 bolts. Now make your way to the top of the first tower on the bridge and kill the two archers. You will then see three archer windows, head towards the one to the far right which should take you between 20 to 30 minutes. Now you will want to lock onto the Red Dragon every time he swoops down to attack you with his fire breath. Do this and you will eventually kill him. Your reward is 8,000 Souls and his lead Soul.

How to Activate Halloween Mode
You can activate Halloween Mode whenever you choose by simply setting the PlayStation 3’s system clock to October 31st. This makes the enemies much more difficult to defeat, but you’ll gain better rewards. Good luck!

Here is a video of the new features in PES 2010.
And here is a glimpse behind-the-scenes on the making of the game.

It’s official. Modern Warfare 2 has broken the record as the most pre-ordered game in the history of GameStop. That’s quite a feat.
And we still have a little under a week to go before the game launches on November 10th for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
To quote GameStop’s executive vice president for merchandising and marketing Tony Bartel, in speaking with USA Today:
“By all indicators, we anticipate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time,” he said. “As of today, the number of preorder reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network.”
This also, by extension, makes Modern Warfare 2 the most pre-ordered game in Activision’s history, which the company announced last August.
And likely contributing to the high number of pre-orders are the incentives you get for reserving the game at GameStop, including a girth of various prizes that include a Hummer H2, Polaris snowmobile, and Ducati motorcycle.
