Left 4 Dead confirmed to be 360 exclusive?
Rumors that appeared on the Internet suggesting that Left 4 Dead would be coming to the Playstation 3 are now false.
Speaking to WonderWallWeb at a Microsoft event, Chet Faliszek of Valve said:
Many people say to us that they have heard rumours of Left4Dead coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn’t true they still don’t believe us, what more can we say than it is not
That pretty much confirms that Left 4 Dead will not be coming to the Playstation 3. Resident Evil 5 will be better anyway.

WWE SVR 09 Patch Coming
A new patch is coming for WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2009 according to IGN. The new patch will be released sometime before the 31st of January 2009, so its quite a while off yet.
This is what THQ have to say about the upcoming update:
The patch will allow fans of the leading fighting videogame franchise to give all of their created Superstars full attributes after completing the new Career Mode one time through,
Given the overall popularity of the Create-A-Superstar feature and the fans’ ongoing demand for more flexibility, this new patch will greatly enhance the player’s ability to fully customize many created Superstars at the same time.
You probably rushed out to buy the game thinking that you could create dozens of superstars, but the only way to drag your created superstars from their low-30 overall rating to comething that can content with the WWE heavyweights is to take each one of them through the game’s career mode.
