Ronaldinho will appear on the cover of the game in all territories. The German version will also star Miroslav Klose, while Sergio Ramos has been signed up for Spain, Andreas Ivanschitz for Austria and Tranquillo Barnetta for Switzerland.

The cover will feature Florent Malouda and Frank Ribery in France. EA is set to announce which football stars will be shown on the US and UK versions next month.

The stars involved are currently in Barcelona, taking part in motion-capture sessions. EA is aiming to capture "the body movements, individual moves and playing style of each athlete".

Wii's Resident Evil 4 Only $29.99

Good news today for everyone who shamefully, shamefully neglected to play Resident Evil 4 when it originally came out on Gamecube and later on PS2. Joystiq.com is reporting that Capcom has listed the Wii version of the modern classic at the wonderful budget price of $29.99.

Do you hear that all you slackers? Now you have absolutely no excuse not to go pick this one up. Its not even like you need an excuse. You will have a giant bundle of fun I promise you. Hell, I already own the original Gamecube version and unless the Wii-controls miraculously end up sucking, I will be buying this one all over again.

I cant imagine the controls not living up to expectations, though. This game was meant to be played on the Wii. The precision aiming in RE4 that allowed you to shoot enemies in specific areas to get different results (shot in the leg brings them down to their knees) was only faulty when considering how hard it sometimes was to aim with an analog pad.

New PS3 update improves image quality

PS3 firmware update 1.8 will be released today, improving the image quality of movies and PS2 and PSOne video games. It also allows people to check out stored video, music files and digital photos through the Internet with the handheld PlayStation Portable. A host of other enhancements include the ability to print photo images stored on PS3's hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers. Peter Dille, SVP, Marketing, SCEA says, "As adoption of HDTVs continues to pitch, we know that customers are hungry for content, and this latest firmware update influences the PS3s technology to deliver an HD-quality experience using the entertainment media already in your collection. In addition, we persist to improve the PS3s capabilities as an entertainment hub, giving consumers the option to bring their content with them on-the-go, or to stream photos, videos, and music stored on their PC to the PS3 in their living room.
