Today in PlayStation: November 5, 2008

Remember, remember the fifth of November. WipEout, LittleBigPlanet, and the Band of Rock. I see no reason, this Holiday season, why Valkyria Chronicles should ever be forgot…

Hey y’all, PS Monger crew. We’ve got a healthy batch of news to celebrate this Guy Fawkes day, though nothing was blown up in the process.

•  PS3 firmware version 2.52 has hit. What’s new? Well, not much. Some software playback and text entry issues have been resolved. That is all.
• Red Alert 3 is coming to the PS3, but not any time soon. Producer David Silverman has said to not expect the game “anytime before Christmas.”
• Rumor alert! A recent image has led to speculation that LittleBigPlanet will be adding a photo importing feature at some point. This will allow gamers to take images off of their PS3 hard drive to be used as stickers in game. Check it out.
• The delicious strategy RPG Valkyria Chronicles was just released, and SEGA is already planning some DLC, which will include a new side-story episode and a harder difficulty level.
• Fans of the cult Japanese developer Nippon Ichi are in for a treat as the company has just announced a new PSP game. Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? is a side-scrolling action/adventure game and will be making its way to North America in February.
• Fans of wildlife simulators are also in luck, as it has recently been revealed that certain Asian editions of Aquanaut’s Holiday: Hidden Memories will include English language support. And since the PS3 is region-free, anyone who wants to take a virtual dive need only import.
