Also announced was that beginning October 17 and including the new model's release, the first 200,000 purchasers of the 20, 40, and 60 GB models would receive the Blu-ray movie of Spiderman 3 for free. Currently the only known role-playing title utilizing the new rumble feature is the just released Folklore. At this time, the new model has not been announced for North America.
