OK, yes, it's November. No, we didn't need outside help to figure that out. But Spanish retailer Fnac took it one step further than obvious guesses, as it's actually advertising Black Ops 2 with a November release date.

The store isn't going so far as to take reservations -- instead having people sign up to be alerted when they can -- but it is still advertising a product that doesn't officially exist. To us, that's at least circumstantial evidence that Black Ops 2 does exist.

Update: Hastings has since issued a cease & desist letter to Joystiq, requesting we remove the image. According to Hastings' director of merchandising, the ad is "blatantly false," although we have good reason to believe otherwise. SCEA's Patrick Seybold also offered a rare comment, saying the ad "is fake." Thankfully, he did not do this to us.

While we're respecting the request of Hastings, it's clear that a significant change is happening to Sony's business strategy regarding the PS3. As seen above, many European retailers are already cutting the price of the PS3 [Image credit: niels]. Reports from Engadget and Engadget Spanish also confirm cuts in multiple stores in Europe.

Lending credibility to the image we received, the ad in question was sent to Joystiq before SCEA's announcement yesterday of the Greatest Hits version of Uncharted, though precisely that was part of the Hastings ad. Coupled with the C&D and Europe's retail actions lead us to believe a price drop is happening. We've included the original post (sans image) after the break.

According to French electronics retailer fnac, the above is the 80GB LittleBigPlanet bundle. If they are to be believed, the bundle will include the new 80GB PS3, one Dual Shock 3 controller and a copy of LittleBigPlanet. All of this can be yours for 399.99 €. The box art looks awesome -- we are sure this bundle is going to move systems in the regions where it will be released.

In other news, PS3Hyper tells us the Asia Version of LBP will allow you to select between English or Traditional Chinese text. This version, which can be preordered here, will be released on October 30th for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

Finally, there is a new trailer focusing on Sackboy and his lady friend Sackgirl. Is love in the air? Check out the trailer after the jump.
