Show me items relating to: Gbyte DVD
New Sony patent reveals details of upcoming handheld touch screen console. Maybe. The inventor is Phil Harrison. But if this is all it takes to file a US patent I think I will run off a few this afternoon.
Japanese researchers develop 42 Gbyte DVD. When you consider that BluRay is 25 Gbyte for single layer and 50 Gbyte for dual layer this is a significant advance. Online delivery may well be taking over from physical media but this still may be something Microsoft might like. Especially with its inherent anti piracy benefits.
Massive update for Xbox Live rumoured. Including 3D Dashboard, support for gesture interface (motion sensor), social networking and avatars. Combine this with the imminent US price cut and rejig of hard disk sizes and you can see that Microsoft are putting together an even more compelling package. I just hope they sort out the front end of XLA so that it can more easily handle a huge library of games.
Game file sharing pirates zapped in court. Excellent news that these thieves are going to have to pay up. Pity it’s only £2,750. Adding an extra zero to the punishment would be more realistic. Let’s hope loads more of these thieves get zapped soon.
Activision executives get $6 million bonus. And quite right too, why should City types who don’t make anything be the only ones to get big salaries? To build a publisher to world number one deserves rewards like this. Let’s hope it attracts some more top class management into the industry. We need it.
Paedophiles using game consoles to meet their victims online. No surprise here then. These sick and evil people will use every means possible for their perversions. Society is too soft on them when they are caught.
Excellent Bobby Kotick interview in The Times (which really has switched from being anti to pro gaming). You can see how he earns his salary with some excellent stuff on player demographics, the economic downturn and looking after employees. I wish more managers in the industry were this incisive.
Huge controversy over torture game. Not what the industry needs or wants. But it does show up just how stupid the BBFC juggling for power and added bureaucracy is. Their ability to do anything about this game would be precisely zero.
