In this issue: I gloat about being right about a Wii redesign and the drop of GC backwards compatibility.
Oh, don't worry, that's not all this week's PB & Jason is about, but it does take up a substantial amount of airtime. With it is talk of the recently announced Europe-exclusive PSP model, the PSP E-1000, along with a little bit of analysis of what it means to drop the PSP's wifi capabilities.
The game will land on November 20th.
In a press release, Nintendo confirmed a November 20th North American release date for the latest update to the Zelda franchise. While doing so, Nintendo also made certain to note Skyward Sword would lay the foundation for the story told in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The press release also suggested those interested in Skyward Sword can visit this link for more information, but at the time of press, the link supplied redirects to an E3 information page for the game.
Today, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 is officially dropping in price across both models.
Earlier today at Gamescom, Sony revealed a $50 price cut for both models of the PlayStation 3, bringing the 160GB slim model down to $250 and the 320GB slim model to $300. In addition to the price cuts, at select retailers across America, Sony is running a limited-time special bundle for $300, which will include the 320GB system, a copy of inFamous 2, and a 30 day PlayStation Plus trial. The price drop is effective immediately, allowing newcomers to jump in without a wait.

Now available on PSN, Puzzle Dimension is still delivering the same great puzzle experience found on PC and Mac last year.
Rather than provide an entirely redundant review on Puzzle Dimension's PSN release, I'll be using this space to explain any differences in its latest incarnation. For a full description of the game, you are encouraged to check out our original review.
You can tell because this week's article is monochromatic.
This week's PB & Jason is very deep. It has a great atmosphere. You can tell it's not one of those big fancy-shmancy industry podcasts, because those have color.
Maybe Phineas and Ferb can use their immeasurable genius to fix this blasé game.
Sometimes you play a game and can't help but be disappointed that it isn't something more. Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is such a game. Built on an engine that provides solid visuals and controls, Phineas and Ferb has the groundwork for a great game. Unfortunately, it quickly falls into a rut wherein each level in the game feels similar to the last, so much so that set pieces from levels are practically recycled. While I truly wanted to enjoy the game thanks to its solid footing, it quickly became sleep-inducing when it failed to evolve.
