Atlus is loaded with fantastic strategy RPG titles, and their leatest release of the Japanese title, Eternal Pink, literally keeps us waiting for more.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for a fast-paced game, this is not one of them. Although the load times can be excruciatingly long, there are quite a few things worth waiting for--especially if you can appreciate good storytelling and artwork.
IGN UK writes: "The term role-playing game is probably one of the most abused in gaming. Many so-called RPGs simply don't allow the player to properly embrace the character they're playing. That's one of the reasons sci-fi role-player Mass Effect is so refreshing: it goes some significant way toward making you actually - you know - play a role, rather than flapping behind a thin veil of hammy dialogue and redundant decision-making".

We've seen all
sorts of fanciful tube
amplifiers over the
years, but none have intimidated us quite like NAT Audio's Magma. This brute is the self-proclaimed "most powerful single-ended tube amplifier on the market," and it can churn out 160-watts at 4- and 8-ohms with a frequency response of 10Hz to 100kHz. Additionally, this thing weighs in at 88-pounds, measures 11.8- x 25.2- x 14.2-inches and relies on a 6N1P-EV, a 6N30P-DR and a Eimac 450TH tube to get the job done. If you're craving more specs on this Class A monster, we've got 'em: an input impedance of 100-kohms, input sensitivity of 2.7V RMS for full power output, gain of 22.5 dB at 8-ohms and a pricetag of $55,000 per pair. Check out a few more angles after the jump, won'tcha?

Like a
burning crusade marching across the planet,
World of Warcraft continues to expand with a population of 9.3 million subscribers. In late July, Blizzard
announced that
WoW reached the 9 million subscriber mark. All this player retention is fantastic for the game, but
World of Warcraft is still an anomaly in the commercial MMORPG genre. If
Lord of the Rings Online is in the
number two spot like Turbine claims, they have yet to announce even hitting one million subscribers (they cover it smoothly by saying they have four million characters). Although, in all fairness,
LotRO hasn't expanded into Asia yet -- that's where the real MMO money is.
Blizzard's parent company Vivendi continues to reap the financial rewards of WoW's success as their sales continue to
rise. With such massive retention rates on an MMO, we can only imagine what happens when
Wrath of the Lich King, the next expansion for
WoW, releases sometime next year.

VGchartz has published their latest sales expectations for the month of October. Regarding hardware sales, they had this to say:
"Despite declining sales from the Halo 3 boost, Vgchartz is showing Xbox 360 ahead of Wii for this four week period. It is worth noting that on a weekly basis (week one to week four) however, 360 sales declined 10%, while Wii sales increased from the 40% from the week ending October 13th to the week ending November 3. DS and PSP remain spectacular and solid as well, while PS3 showed an increase in sales for the first full week of $500 80 gig?s availability. However, the boost was barely enough to propel the system above the PS2 which is stabilizing at 35k to 45k per week until the holiday boosts kick in."
Total Console Sales for October,
Xbox 360 - 564,796
DS - 550,399
Wii - 512,477
PSP - 305,017
PS3 - 156,128
PS2 - 150,182

[Click to enlarge]We're really not sure if Sony was being serious
when they said they'd be willing to replace the lithium-ion batteries in the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller if and when they stop holding their charge, but their "Safety and Support" manual (included in the retail box) seems to indicate otherwise. On pages 18 and 19, they detail how to remove the battery before disposing of the controller. Sure, they're not telling you it's cool to replace it yourself but follow those steps in reverse with a new battery, and you've got yourself a revitalized Sixaxis.
What they are telling you how to remove and replace is the console's hard disk. Follow a handful of instructions and you can replace that anemic 60GB drive with a whopping 200GB monster ... all without voiding that warranty!
