All you backward compatibility and PSP fans can stop holding your breath now. Sony has finally announced the price range for downloadable PSOne content on the PS3/PSP, and thankfully, it isn’t a direct conversion of the Japanese prices. Games will take up between 140 to 550 MB of space, and will cost between $5.99 and $10.99 (+$599 for a PS3).

THQ has revealed the full roster for the upcomingWWE All Stars, along with a fresh collection of screenshots and a new trailer. The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels andMR. PERFECThave all been confirmed, and you may’t do much better than that! There’s a nice mix of contemporary wrestlers, not to mention a suitably creepy amount of dead ones. No Chris Benoit, obviously.
