Gamervision reports: 7-Eleven's gaming experience started with Halo 3, where they staged midnight openings all around the United States and forced gallons of Slurpees into unsuspecting fans' bellies (needed to get those collector's cups!). Since then, they've remained on the scene, breaking occasional street dates thanks to employees who don't give a damn about gaming. Thanks for that copy of Gears of War 2, guys. Well, the saga might be coming to an end... or ramping up for a big holiday push. We're not sure. All we know is that the 7-Eleven near us, and many others around the country, are cutting game prices to 50% off, as the awesome camera phone shot above confirms.

G4TV writes: "The first DLC for THQ/Jakks Pacific wrestling juggernaut Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 is currently available on XBox Live. For a relatively svelte 320 Microsoft Points, you can get a package that includes superstars Charlie Haas, Ted DiBiase, and Evan Bourne, and gear that is usable for Y2J himself, Chris Jericho. (Presumably, the Ted DiBiase character is not The Million Dollar Man, but his son, who is part of Randy Orton's Legacy stable.)"
The good folks at WWE.com have announced that THQ will be releasing the first ever wrestling game DLC over Xbox Live very shortly. The pack will include three new playable characters in Evan Bourne, Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Charlie Haas, as well as some alternative attire for Chris Jericho.

IGN Says: If you ran out and picked up WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 today with dreams of creating dozens of Superstars, you might be in for a surprise. Currently, the only way to drag your created Superstars from their low-30 overall rating to something that can contend with the WWE heavyweights is to take each one of them through the game's Career Mode and spend hours earning attribute points. Needless to say, if you're looking to make 30 great Superstars, that's going to take some time.
The Videogamesplus Team has tested WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 and Moto GP 08 and confirmed that they are both region free.

From NextGen Player:
This past week WWE has attempted to control the media. There is some heat towards UK's magazine the Fighting Spirit for their preview of SmackDown vs. RAW 2009 video game.
IGN SAYS: Let's be frank: the single-player career in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 wasn't that great. WrestleMania was in the same city every year, the storyline repeated, and characters were forced into situations that they'd never be in on the show so the players never felt like they were actually walking in that Superstar's boots.
