09/30: Silent Hill: Homecoming [metacritic] - not as good as the previous games; the atmosphere of fear isn't as strong in this game, the enemies are downgraded to nuisances than scares.
Add On Content - NBA Live 09 * Oklahoma City Pack {free} * NBA Live 365 {$20} - season long daily updates of player abilities, streaks, tendencies and ability to replay any game with the players as they were playing that day.
If you buy NBA Live 09 new, you're gifted with a redeemable free code ("sponsored by T-Moblie") for this feature. The idea is either they'll dissuade people from buying the game from a resale shop (since they're unlikely going to find the game $20 to make it worth it) or they'll get those people who buy it used to pay $20 for this feature. Doesn't seem to include general roster updates, which still should be free, but this is obviously an EA trial balloon.

Thread ahead: Xbox 360 releases: week of October 6, 2008 Next thread: DS releases: week of October 6, 2008 Previous thread: Nintendo makes many grand announcements (including new DS and Punch-Out Wii)
Is the DS region protected? Could I order a British (or Japanese for that matter) game to play on my DS? I know the GBA wasn't, since I have the Japanese version of Fire Pro 2.
