<p>Remember the <em>Wonderbook</em> from E3? It&#8217;s like when the <em>Eyepet</em> was operated by an AR card except this time they promise that it&#8217;ll actually work. Also, it&#8217;s a book. Well, the first of the hopefully lengthy and prosperous <em>Wonderbook</em> franchise is getting ready for release and now has a date to prove it. <em>Wonderbook: Book Of Spells</em> is coming out in the UK on November 16th and North America on November 13th.</p>
<p>But with that date comes a mountain of pressure. You see, <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/361271/sony-betting-big-on-ps3s-wonderbook-this-christmas/" target="_blank">PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara was quoted last month</a> in saying that not only is <em>Wonderbook</em> &#8220;certainly the most inspirational product we&#8217;ve seen for the Move in the two years since it&#8217;s been out&#8221; but that it&#8217;s also &#8220;top of the pile and certainly the biggest number we&#8217;ll be going after.&#8221; That means that they&#8217;re expecting the JK Rowling based-upon-<em>Wonderbook</em> to be the biggest selling first party title for the PS3 this Christmas.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a pretty big claim (unless you look at just what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_published_by_Sony_Computer_Entertainment#PlayStation_3" target="_blank">first party titles Sony have released this year</a>, anyway) and Sony are doing everything in their power to make that come true. They&#8217;re making the game available as both a standalone book-disc and a Move bundle. And if you haven&#8217;t got a PS3, no matter! Consoles of all storage sizes will be getting bundles that come with the <em>Wonderbook</em> to ensure that no-one need miss out on a <em>Wonderbook</em>; this Christmas&#8217; must have gift!</p>
<p><em>Wonderbook: Book Of Spells</em> (and, by the by, I have now said <em>Wonderbook</em> so many times that it has lost all meaning) will be on North American PS3s on November 13th and UK PS3s on November 16th. &#8230;why yes, that is the same week as <em>Black Ops II</em> launches. Isn&#8217;t that a co-incidence?</p>
