Stuff we can use now: The PSP now supports playlists for video and photos, and you can transfer existing ones over from your PC or PS3 to your handheld.

Stuff we can use later: The Digital Comics reader will now be added to your XMB, but it’s completely useless until December, when the actual PSN comic store opens.

The only dates Sony could offer up were “December” for the US, and “mid-December” for the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland.

Summary Via Publisher Wildstorm:
The bonus-sized epic final showdown! Will Med’an and the newly formed Council of Tirisfal vanquish the evil Cho’gall and the Twilight’s Hammer? Will the unlikely union of Horde and Alliance be torn asunder?

Here’s the quote, which That VideoGame Blog attributes to audio of the event:

I did in the last game a voice for a character called Gaz and in this game I’m now voicing a guy called Ghost, who now just got a spin-off comic of his own and they’re talking about another little game to go with it. So, I’m quite excited about it. It’s grown and grown and grown.

Destructoid notes the context in which this was mentioned – “another little game to go with” a spinoff comic – means it could be just a flash game to coincide with the book’s launch (which coincided with the game’s Nov. 10 release). That’s a pretty reasonable take, although I’ve asked Robert Bowling if he or Infinity Ward would like to say any more.
