The 360 edition of the Namco Museum includes 30+ arcade titles, various classics, new "Arrangement" versions of older games, a bunch of leaderboards and Live multiplayer for up to four players. Best part: the trippy visuals and morphing gameplay of Pac-Man Championship Edition will also be a part of the bundle. Wakka-wakka!

Here's something nifty. Playing the Japanese demo of Namco Museum on PS3 unlocks special items in PlayStation Home. We've confirmed that this works with the US version of Home after downloading the Namco Museum Beta from the Japanese PS store.

In order to get the schwag, you first need to create a Japanese PSN account. After that, you can download the demo, which contains playable Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious. Achieving high scores in the games will "gift" you with several in-Home items; we've snagged a Galaga T-Shirt so far, but have received tips that a full Galaga arcade machine can be obtained and placed in your virtual apartment.

[Thanks, Andrew]

Is there a more boring month than November? It's like there's nothing worth playing this month at all. After the debacle that was last week, this week is completely bereft of anything even remotely resembling fun in even the most infinitesimal way. Seriously, have you seen what's coming out this week? Just take a look.
See? Nothing. Ah well, maybe we'll finally get something worth playing next week.
