Important-looking numbers from Chart-Track show sales for the 360 in the UK are up 260 per cent week-on-week - while the PSP has suffered its worst week since launch.

SCEE has dismissed claims that it issued a release schedule showing launch dates for a load of PSP, PS2 and PlayStation 3 titles, including new fangled community thingy Home.

SAY-GAH! That's the chime that will ring out from a great many Wiis this weekend, as a fairly Nintendo-centric run of VC additions is broken by a generous five-strong dose of Megadrive memories. It's even looking like these hefty blasts of Megadrive musk are becoming a monthly occurrence, since it was early August that last saw a batch of four Sega titles in one lump. This is an eclectic selection as well, with one stone-cold classic, one grudgingly admirable bastard and three offbeat obscurities to be sampled. Well, that's if the VC let you sample games. Which it doesn't. So you'd better read on...

Bethesda has announced it will be offering those of you without Live access a chance to play the Oblivion expansion Shivering Isles.

European PS3 owners will have to settle for the new MotorStorm downloadable content on PSN this week as Midway still hasn't confirmed when the Stranglehold demo will be released here.

Do you, by any chance, recall LucasArts' excellent (and often criminally underrated) Xbox title, Secret Weapons Over Normandy?

Earlier this week we told you Eurogamer had partnered with Activision to give away Call of Duty 4 beta keys. Well, today we're delivering the payload.

Valve has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version of Orange Box will be released a bit later than PC and 360 builds - but said the delay is nothing to do with the console itself.

Sometimes the things you end up liking most are those that completely blindside you. Having precisely zero expectations of Stuntman Ignition, to find out that it's not only good, but absolutely bloody fantastic is even more of a shock than discovering that the new Medal of Honor isn't the load of old toss everyone expected it to be. It's a whole year's worth of shocks crammed into two days. What next? FIFA to crush Pro Evo?

Sony has denied reports retailers will not be receiving official TV cables for the new PSP Slim and Lite model when it launches in the UK on 14th September, GamesIndustry.biz reports. Although it did admit the white model has been delayed.

EA has decided to create two more versions of party game Boogie in time for Christmas, one for DS and one for PS2. Both have an enormous installed-base. Just thinking out loud. Tum-tee-tum.

If you like music games, you've probably been looking forward to Boogie. The concept is simple: it combines karaoke with dancing. You might think this sounds fun. You'd be wrong, as far as Boogie goes. This is how rubbish a music game Boogie is: it's not even fun when you're drunk.

American cable channel HBO has bought the screening rights to a documentary created entirely within Second Life.

EA has tried to sign us up for its Rock Band this afternoon by releasing a fresh list of tracks for the game.

Burnout is already synonymous with insane speed, great handling and big crashes. So what's next? Well - parking. Obviously.

You can't help but experience universally positive feelings of pure gaming joy the first time you boot up the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, currently playing out across Xbox Live. Within those first precious moments of gameplay, all doubts you may have had about the game's innovations - not least its shift in time away from World War II - quickly dissipate. The Call of Duty DNA is self-evident, and certainly in my opinion, it's clear that the game offers a substantial leap over anything we've seen before on a console first person shooter.

EA has bounced a new demo for NBA Live 08 onto the cheesy-smelling floor of Xbox Live.

Ubisoft has remained tight-lipped over rumours that Red Steel is getting a sequel.

Atari has told Eurogamer this afternoon that the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark hasn't been delayed after all, but will launch simultaneously with the PC and 360 games.

If you're remotely interested in videogames (and that's a safe assumption, we hope, unless you mistyped EuroGardener.net and just wanted to know if it's a good idea to fertilise petunias with coffee grounds), you may well feel somewhat swamped in massively multiplayer games at the moment.

Sony has confirmed our suspicions by revealing that the recent firmware upgrade for PS3 had no effect on European consoles.
