One bundle includes a region-specific TV tuner, 32MB memory stick, and a PSP. The other two? They're Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection bundles — as game site Siliconera points out, the year-old-game is quite popular in South Korea. You know another way to say "popular"? That's right, hot.

T5DR ONLINE Update Coming Soon! [SDTekken]

In addition to the new online mode, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online will include a new Survival mode and Practice mode, two game types sorely missing from the original release. No solid date was given—PlayStation Store watchers know better anyway—but the upgrade is due before the end of the year.

Also included in the update are practice and survival modes. There is no official date for the release of the download. Kim Phu

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online! [SD Tekken, Thanks Mark!]

This weekend, I don't think I'll be doing much more than firing up my Tekken 5 download from the PlayStation Store. We're officially departing for GDC on Sunday night, so the only other thing I have on my list is to obsessively complete Castlevania Portrait of Ruin before I move on to Dragon Quest Rocket Slime for the DS.

What pre-GDC video gaming goodness do you have ready to fire up this weekend? We'd appreciate you letting us know in the comments. Michael McWhertor

For $19.99 and 555 MB of precious hard drive space, Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection can be yours. Rejoice! I'm sprinting to the store to grab my arcade stick in anticipation of a night filled with head-to-head gaming. Michael McWhertor

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, available in Japan since last December, is finally landing on North American Playstation 3s via the Playstation store.

The downloadable, 800 MB game will sell for about $20 and feature 1080p resolution, but no online play.

Thursday will also bring a free MotorStorm behind-the-scenes video that shows how the game, set to hit stores next week, was designed. The video will include footage from the team's shoot in Utah's Monument Vally and interview with the designers and producer.

Finally, Sony points out that the latest firmware update for your console not only allows you to resize the video chat on your console, but also adds support for all USB video class compliant cameras. That's kinda cool. Must test out the Xbox 360 Vision Camera on the PS3. Brian Crecente

Sadly, there will be no online play for the title but the 800MB download will feature a 1080p resolution graphical upgrade from its arcade counterpart. Details on price weren't provided.

Get your wallets ready ladies and gents. The next month is shaping up to be a costly one. Michael McWhertor

TEKKEN 5 DARK RESURRECTION EXPLODES ONTO THE PLAYSTATION 3 SYSTEM

Legendary fighting series comes of age on the next generation system

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (February 6, 2007) - Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection , will be available later this month to North American gamers as an exclusive download from the PLAYSTATION Store for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system.

Got a PS3? Wanna snag Tekken 5? Don't live in Hong Kong or Japan? Game site GamersReports has a workarround for North Americans who are itching to get the 850 MB Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. From GR:

Firstly, you need to add a new user to your PS3. Keep in mind it cannot be a new sub user, it has to be a new user from scratch. Go ahead and add all the credit card information, and when it asks for the country pick Hong Kong, and choose any city. Remember, all of the information will be the same except city and country. After you have created this new account that has a Hong Kong city and country, go all the way to the right on the main PS3 screen and choose account management. Then choose transaction management, then manage wallet, then add funds. When you add money remember it will be in HK dollars. If you go directly to the PS3 store and try to buy Tekken, it will not work because any amount over $50 dollars and Sony will check if the home address matches the home address the credit card has on file. In order to get around this, add $40 HK dollars to your wallet twice, then go into the PS3 Store and purchase Tekken 5. From there, it will ask you if you want to add more funds to your account, (example $45 HK dollars). This brings you to a total of $125 HK dollars which is roughly equivalent to $15 USD, enough to purchase Tekken 5.

Good to know! Brian Ashcraft
