The portion of those 2.5 million earmarked for Europe, for example, just got there today, and it’s only been in stores for around two days in North America. All we know based on this is that Namco expects to sell a ton of copies, not that it is selling a ton. Although we’re sure it will.

Maybe that’s the idea — to build excitement about Tekken 6 by showing how confident the publisher is. To print up 2.5 million of the things (some of which come in totally huge boxes), Namco must really believe it’s on to something!

We can’t be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we’ll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix’s Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week.

Halloween looms right around the corner! In preparation for a spook-tacular weekend full of fun and frights, we present you with an all-horror edition of Joystiq Box Office. Although in all honesty, nothing tops Trick ‘r Treat from a couple of weeks ago. You owe it to Halloween to check that out. Of course, being the geeks that we are, we’d also like to remind you that Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is now out on Blu-ray, DVD, PSN, and the Xbox Marketplace. It’s not their best work, but hey … it’s more Battlestar Galactica!

Recommendation of the Week:

Monsturd (Netflix Watch Instantly)
Yes, this is seriously a movie. A fugitive on the run accidentally falls into a sewage tunnel, which is also where a chemical company has been dumping their toxic waste. As a result, he becomes Monsturd: half-man, half-poop. I kid you not. There have been poop monsters in movies before, like the transformed Chet in Weird Science and the Golgathan from Kevin Smith’s Dogma, but nothing compares to Monsturd. It’s actually not a bad send-up of the classic 50s frightfilms, and the tagline for the movie is “Don’t get caught with your pants down!” How can you go wrong?

A lot of you have been asking about the pricing on certain Xbox releases. For instance Red Cliff is 800 ($10) to rent in standard definition, as opposed to the normal rental price of 320 ($4) for SD. The reason for this is that it has not yet been released in theaters, and is exclusive to the Xbox 360, Amazon, and certain VOD outlets. The film actually opens on November 18, so the added price is for the benefit of seeing it early.

As usual, we’ll see you at the popcorn sta — well, actually, we won’t see you at all. But you catch our drift. Plus, be sure to tell us what you’ll be watching, or what you’ve seen recently that bowled you over.

Sure, November may lack the phonetic building blocks which allow the word “Rock” to be tucked in there somehow, but that doesn’t mean it won’t bring any hard-rockin’ jams to Guitar Hero 5. We’ve got the full list of DLC that’s coming to the game next month posted after the jump, including selections from Lenny Kravitz, Metallica, KISS and others. One bundle, the “Neversoft Thanks the Fans Track Pack,” will be absolutely free. The other packs, will follow the 160 ($2, 200 Wii Points) per song, 440 ($5.50, 550 Wii Points) per three-song pack pricing structure of last month’s releases.

In addition, on Nov. 5, players will be able to import 61 of Band Hero’s tracks into Guitar Hero 5 for 400 ($5, 500 Wii Points), or 65 of Guitar Hero 5’s tracks into Band Hero for 480 ($6, 600 Wii Points). Hooray for sharing!

In a story about the scarier games (it’s almost Halloween, don’tchaknow?), Reuters mentioned two things we thought would be good for this website we got going here. First, there’s Capcom’s Resident Evil 5, which Reuters reports has managed to sell 1.94 million copies in the US, according to NPD Group figures.

The second part of the Reuters story talks about EA and its spookier titles for 2009: Left 4 Dead 2 and Dead Space: Extraction. While there isn’t anything new on the former, in a discussion of the latter, Reuters revealed that Dead Space 2 is apparently planned for a 2010 release, which would seem to confirm what we’ve heard about the game so far.

Reuters: RE5 sold 1.94M in US; Dead Space 2 in development for 2010 originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:45:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Okay, so our initial observation that Uncharted 2 would soon receive skeletal Helghast was a bit far from the truth. Naughty Dog’s Arne Meyer recently announced on Playstation.Blog that the half-tucked title would receive an update which addresses a number of multiplayer issues today. On top of that, anyone who plays the game online during this Halloween weekend will receive a treat infinitely more sweet than a fistful of Necco Wafers: Loads and loads of (in-game) cash money.

Yes, the next few days will be a “Double Cash Weekend” for Uncharted 2 multiplayer matches. As you can probably suss out from the title, you’ll earn double the rank-progressing moolah you would normally gain for playing the various online playlists. In addition, a bunch of Naughty Dog staffers will be playing this weekend — presumably appearing as the crimson-eyed, skinless abominations seen above. We appreciate the work these folks have done, but following our strict undead infestation protocols, they must be purged.

It’s not often we tell you not to click after the break. But this time around, you’re going to have to make a choice: will you watch the ten minutes of unedited gameplay footage of Heavy Rain from G4TV, or will you restrain yourself? Let’s not forget that David Cage believes multiple playthroughs of the game “kill the magic of it.” This scene, which takes place in the Blue Lagoon nightclub, has some revealing moments you may want to enjoy during your own playthrough.

Should you refrain from taking a look, we’ll reassure you that the game looks absolutely gorgeous. Heck, even the load screen is beautiful!
