SSX Release Moves to February
A new trailer for SSX has revealed the game's release date - February 14th. That represents a slight delay from the previously announced January time frame but with EA Sports already planning NFL Blitz for early in that month and with several other titles slated for the quarter they have to make sure to spread them out.

New PS3 Trophies Further Confirm Downloadable Content Coming for NBA 2K12
2K Sports has managed to avoid addressing the topic of downloadable content even after the plans for NBA 2K12's were discovered a while back.
