Heard of a little game store called GameStop? You know, the mega-corporation who killed EBGames and countless others? 

Last week we told you about Netflix's attempt to gauge interest in streaming content on the Wii.  Well, guess what?  This week, they're gauging interest in the PlayStation 3.

Of all the platforms to stream content to, I think the PS3 might be the winner. The system runs quietly, cool, and is already the entertainment center of many people's homes. Streaming content on the Xbox 360 is a dangerous affair - between the over-heating issues and noise, it's near impossible to enjoy a quiet evening with a good film. 

It's possible that Netflix will decide to stream to all three systems - the Xbox, Wii, and PlayStation. That might be the smartest move of all.

Thank God for Infinity Ward. If it wasn't for that developer, we may have been forever stuck in World War II gaming hell. Sorry Treyarch, but the superior COD developer is IW.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (aka Call of Duty 6), will launch on November 10, 2009. It's a bit early to pre-order, but that doesn't stop us from salivating. Considering how masterful COD4 was, we expect the same great gameplay from COD6. 

Apparently Sony is beginning to get the hint.  The entertainment giant is promising to release more PSP games directly via the PSN, similar to the simultaneous retail/PSN release of Patapon 2. What do you think? Would you pay the same price for a retail copy and a downloadable one? I wouldn't. Give me some incentive like a lower price or earlier release date, and I'm sold. But I still prefer to have a physical disk in my hand that I can trade in, sell, lend to friend, etc. I can always rip the UMD to my memory card.

With sales of the PSP down again, it's no wonder Sony is scrambling. It may be too little too late, as other platforms have more to offer, lower prices, and better marketing behind them. Don't expect PSP sales to increase just because of this new UMD-less feature.

Nintendo has had quite a few announcements at this year's Game Developers Conference. Zelda fans will be pleased to learn that the big N has just confirmed a new DS version of the long-lived series: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Expect to see Spirit Tracks on the DS later this year, with gameplay similar to that of the Phantom Hourglass. Not bad, eh?

Today's Wii firmware update adds some much needed functionality to the SD cards. The system will now let you play games directly off of a card, meaning you can potentially extend the Wii's storage capacity infinitely. You can even save downloaded titles directly to the card if your internal memory is full. Just pick up a few cheap SD cards, and there you go! 

In a quick update to yesterday's story, Major Nelson reports that The Pitt is back up on Xbox Live now and "fixed".

R.I.P., PSP. Move over for the new king of mobile consoles, the Apple iPhone. Forget the DS - if you want a huge library, variety, and indy games, the iPhone is the way to go. Did I mention that it blows the PSP out of the water?
