Naruto pre-orders get bonus skin
Believe it!Naruto fans may want to pre-order the upcoming PSP-exclusive fighter, Ultimate Ninja Heroes. Gamers that pre-purchase the title from EB Games/Gamestop will receive a brand new red skin for their PSP. (Game Crazy is also offering a special blue skin.) We think it looks a little gaudy ... but it's a cool bonus nonetheless.We were pleased with the game when we played a little of it at E3. Hopefully, the final build will be even more impressive.
Rumor: SOCOM and Devil May Cry appear on retail radar
According to PSX Extreme, game specialty store Game Crazy apparently has listings for two new PSP games: SOCOM Tactics and Devil May Cry. Earlier, Capcom refused to comment on a PSP Devil May Cry, neither refusing or confirming its existence. However, a new SOCOM seems like an inevitability, considering the success of the last two games.It would be great to get two more high-profile games on our system, especially Devil May Cry. Let's hope this rumor comes to fruition.[Fan art by timwork]
Get a cheap Wiimote at Gamecrazy, maybe
Some bargain hunters at CAG have sniffed out a pretty cool deal on Wiimotes for US gamers: apparently, when Hollywood Video stores put Wii Play out for rent, they didn't feel the need to offer the included Wiimotes for rental. So they shipped them over to their game-retail satellite, Gamecrazy (and by "shipped" we mean "walked across the room"). Gamecrazy, in turn, is selling these brand-new, out-of-the-package Wiimotes for $29.99.Don't get your hopes up too much: the number of Wiimotes in stock at any store depends on how many rental copies of Wii Play were received by the attached Hollywood Video store ... and on how many CAGs live in your town.

Movie Gallery to enter on-line video rental service
Movie Gallery -- the media cats behind Hollywood Video and Game Crazy stores -- just announced a foray into the online video rental service. Set to launch sometime in mid-to-late 2007, the new service is meant to complement its brick-and-mortar business. They also announced an extension to their movie kiosk program by adding another 200 movie vending machines to the 74 units already occupying high traffic areas in malls and supermarkets. How the new rental service (no mention of download-to-own) will integrate (if at all) with their recently acquired MovieBeam service is unclear. One thing's for sure however, Blockbuster had better get a move on if they hope to compete in this redefined marketplace which is both busting at the seams while simultaneously converging.[Via eHomeUpgrade]
