Eurogamer is reporting that the European release date for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories has been pushed back to November 3rd. Originally, scheduled to be released in North America on October 17th, 2006 and Europe on October 20th, 2006. I'm not sure what effect this has on the North American release – I've e-mailed Rockstar for clarification. I'll let you know what I find out.

IGN is reporting that Koei has announced that Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 for the PSP will be seeing a North American release sometime this fall. Which is odd since just to the right of that they have the release date pegged as October 24, 2006. The first game wasn't terribly exciting but, we'll just have to wait a couple of months to see if they improved it at all.

IGN is reporting that the upcoming Wild Arms XF for the PSP is indeed not a port. It's nice to see that the plague of ports coming to the PSP may finally be coming to an end. XF, which apparently stands for "Cross Fire", is being developed by Media Vision. SCE has opened a teaser site for the game so check that out.

This story has been brewing since early this afternoon! Dark_Alex and Mathieulh have released a working downgrader (downdater) for PSPs running firmware version 2.71! QJ.net has all the information you need! I'm sure now it's only a matter of time till we see a downgrader for 2.80 firmware.
I can almost hear those Sony engineers uploading the 2.81 firmware to the server…
