Get out your brightest highlighter and draw a big circle around today’s date, Tuesday, June 29, 2010, aka The Best Day in PSP Tennis History.

This is the day that Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip (as a UMD or PSN download) makes its North American debut, and for the wallet-friendly price of $19.99!

That’s right, the wait is over… all your portable tennis needs are finally answered! Get ready to spend countless summer nights unlocking characters, costumes, courts and secret levels. Oh, the joy.

But I don’t have to sell you on this… you’ve already gotten a taste of the supremely awesome gameplay with the demo (released last week!) and your thumbs are sore from maxing out both your points and loyalty level. You’re gotten a glimpse into to endless (hyperbole!) rows of customization options. Your smash hits are unstoppable and you are ready to name your first child Emily (or Hugo, it’s up to you).

Fifteen new tennis Hot Shots; exotic locations and brand new courts (like the colorful World Television Studios); hundreds of matches and weeks worth of gameplay; a bajillion costume combinations and crazy outfits; fierce, in-your-face ad-hoc competitive and co-op multiplayer matches… is there a better way to spend your summer?

So it’s settled: head out (or click out) and pick up (or download) your very own copy of Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip before you go mad with envy and end up looking like this dude… sheesh… he definitely needs to Get a Grip.

Marvel

Marvel is looking to television for some new areas of exposure. The brand new divsion for Marvel will be led by Jeph Loeb as Executive Vice President, Head of Television. Loeb will oversee live-action, animated and direct-to-dvd series. Something that DC has excelled at for years.

“I couldn’t be happier to accept this new position at Marvel Entertainment, working with both Dan and Alan to deliver exciting, cutting edge television projects,” said Mr. Loeb. “Marvel continues to break new ground in storytelling in both their comic book and film ventures, so, along with everyone here, I’m excited to bring the same brand of excitement into homes across the globe.

Mr. Loeb’s background is in writing stories for every major super hero. He also worked as a writer/producer on Smallville and Lost.

Update: The Firmware is available right now in North America. On June 29 PlayStation Firmware update 3.40 will go live for PlayStation 3 gamers everyone. For those willing to break bread with Sony, PlayStation Plus subscriptions will be available. For those of us who will pretend that this service doesn’t exist, there are some cool [...]

Dragon Quest IX commercial for North America starring Seth Green. Having the co-creator of Robot Chicken and the voice of Family Guy’s Chris Griffin shill for your RPG might seem like an odd choice, but Nintendo is all about hiring celebrities like Beyonce, Patrick Stewart, and Nicole Kidman to push its big titles.

And in Japan, where Square Enix handles the publishing and marketing for Dragon Quest itself, the members of all-male idol group SMAP serve as the spokesmodels for the franchise. So Seth Green doesn’t seem like that odd of a representative in that context. Also, the commercial isn’t that bad! I’m just happy to see Nintendo flexing its marketing muscle for Dragon Quest IX.

Preorder: Dragon Quest IX (July 11th)
