The North American release date for Super Street Fighter IV has been announced by Capcom. This new version, which Capcom is dubbing "the ultimate vision of Street Fighter" and features not only addition characters but new Ultra combos, stages, online modes and more.
Those with "fat" PS3 shouldn't have any problems gaming any more. Sony just announced that they've resolved the issue and PSN is back to full functionality. Users should note to check if their system's time clock is correct, according to the Playstation Blog, and make sure it's accurate either by setting it manually or through the 'net. Here's the official word from Sony.
As some of the people on our site have noticed, there seems to be a massive problem with PlayStation 3 systems worldwide. The error code is 8001050F, and it has crippled non PS3 Slim systems everywhere. This seems to be a calendar problem, as most of the affected systems seem to have been set back to 12/31/1999. Not only is this error stopping people from connecting to the PSN, but it is also stopping people from playing certain games offline, including Heavy Rain and even games that are currently in development. Sony says they are trying to narrow down the problem, but if you have a PS3 Slim, you should be fine.
[UPDATE - 12:15 PM EST] Sony has announced that this was indeed caused by the system's clock. They have stated that a fix will hopefully be made available within the next 24 hours, and they warn users not to play on your system until the fix has been released, or the consequences could be DIRE. Okay, not really, but you could corrupt a bunch of info. Read the full announcement after the jump.
Sega announced today that their upcoming espionage-action-rpg Alpha Protocol, will be hitting store shelves on June 1st.

This new Just Cause 2 Stunt videos centers around Firetruck vs. Jet. That should tell you a little something. Just watch the video and think about how much fun this game might end up being. And yes, I know this isn't nearly as cool as the other two released the other day.
As we mentioned in Episode 4 of our podcast, BioShock 2 on the PC was facing the same widescreen cropping issues that the first game had. Well, tomorrow you won't have to worry about it anymore, as the game will be getting patched. Also, there was apparently an issue in the multiplayer where your M1 button (Left Click on the mouse) wouldn't be recognized. They are fixing that as well. The patch will be available for download at 2 AM PST.
