Your PSP Has Been Encased In Carbonite!

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron hits next week for the PSP, exclusively, right alongside the Star Wars Battlefront Entertainment Pack bundle. That's the one that comes with a Darth Vader portrait screened on the back of a white PSP Slim. To celebrate the release of the game, Sony is hosting a launch party with Lucasarts at PlayStation Store at the Metreon in San Francisco, bringing with them the usual bunch of Star Wars cosplayers, prizes, fireworks, dancing bears, etcetera.

The reason you might actually want to show up? They're giving away Han Solo-trapped-in-carbonite PSP cases to the first 200 folks who buy the aforementioned Entertainment Pack. You'll look at it, your PSP encased in Han encased in carbonite and say "I love you." It will respond "I know." I... I'm tearing up a little bit.

More details and a full-sized pics at the official PlayStation blog.

Diablo: The Movie

In yet another move to capitalize on the recent rise of video game popularity, Blizzplanet is reporting that the Legendary Pictures website is listing a Diablo Movie as "in development" right along side the Clash of the Titans remake and a World of Warcraft film. More details on the project are expected to come at the now sold out BlizzCon in August.

I tried Diablo out years ago and it was my first experience playing a game online with other people. I hate to say it, but it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth about playing games with strangers. The other players were rude and nasty and kept begging me for money and weapons. If I wanted to walk the streets and be bothered for money by aggressive panhandlers, I'd move back to San Francisco.

Thank Capcom For The Gang Bang Linkage [Update]

Here at Kotaku, we don't have a cracker jack team of proof readers. When we fuck up, it's because we, and we alone, are checking each of our posts. Ourselves. But, when big companies make an boo-boo, it's because groups of people screw the pooch.

Take the GameCube box for Capcom's Killer 7, which apparently lists the game's website as www.killer7.com, a NSFW site that has nothing to do with video games but everything to do with interracial gang bangs. (The actual game's site is www.killer-7.com.) Whoops! Brian Ashcraft

Eds. Note: Capcom just dropped word that when the game was originally released, www.killer7.com was the game's official site. Since then, it was not able to renew the URL. Another company did instead.
