Whist it remains too early to predict if one format will emerge victorious in the ongoing battle to capture the hi-def disc format crown, Sony’s Blu-Ray standard appears to be winning the European war, having recently broken the one million unit sales barrier.
This number represents just under 75 per cent of the total hi-def movie sales in Europe to date, putting the format in a commanding position.
If you factor in the sales of PS3 games, which are also on Blu-Ray disc, then total sales reach an estimated 21 million.
Top selling Blu-Ray movies include 300, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

In even more sales willy waving, Sony Computer Entertainment America has said that PlayStation 3 sales have increased by (exactly) 298 percent since November 2 in North America.
The platform holder puts the jump in sales down to the availability of the cheaper 40GB PS3 model, as well as the beefier 80GB option in the shops.
The fact that it's the biggest month of the year for game releases probably helped as well, we reckon.
Sony says that total numbers for all PlayStation products rose 178 percent during the holiday, Thanks Giving.
Based on data from the "top 10 retailers in North America," the PSP was up 136 percent for the week and the PS2 shot up a massive 287 percent. There's till life in the old box yet, then.
Sony's Japanese outfit bragged similar sales success earlier this week, when the PSP Slim & Light cleared a million units in the Far East.
No word from Europe yet, but we're predicting shameless sales bragging in 3, 2, 1...

The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences has named Sony's Ken Kutaragi the recipient of the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Kutaragi, considered the "father of the PlayStation," will be honoured for revolutionising the global in-home entertainment market with the creation and success of his game console.
The original PlayStation, launched in 1994, shipped more than 100 million units worldwide. Kutaragi retired from Sony in June 2007 after 30 years of service and currently serves as honourary chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. and senior technology advisor of Sony Corporation.
"Ken Kutaragi’s passion, innovative thinking and business savvy sparked a monumental movement that was unstoppable," said AIAS president Joseph Olin.
"If it wasn’t for Ken and his concept of the original PlayStation, there wouldn’t be the billion dollar industry there is today. His contributions have clearly set new standards for developers, publishers and consumers worldwide."
"Ken Kutaragi is the smartest guy in the history of the video game business," said Trip Hawkins, Electronic Arts' founder and AIAS Hall of Fame member.
"Without Ken, there is no Sony PlayStation, and that is beyond comprehension."
AIAS' first Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented to Nintendo's Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln earlier this year.
Kutaragi will be honoured at the Interactive Achievement Awards ceremony on February 7 in Las Vegas in conjunction with the annual D.I.C.E. Summit 2008.

According to a report from Nikkei late last week, Toshiba is planning on switching manufacturing of the PlayStation 3's RSX graphics processor to a 65nm process next month. Currently, the chip is manufacturing using a 90nm process, the same as it's been since the system's launch.
A smaller die size for the chip can mean cheaper production costs and less heat, contributing to lower prices for the consumer, and a quieter, more reliable PS3 system.
The latest versions of the system's Cell CPU are being manufactured using a 65nm process. It is widely believed that the switch to 65nm for the Cell is one of the main reasons Sony was able to drop the PS3's price down to $399 in time for the holidays.
Nikkei also reports that Toshiba is planning on beginning manufacturing at 45nm in the latter half of the next fiscal year, and speculates that the RSX and other PlayStation 3 chips are prime candidates for the new line.

Bioshock developer 2K Boston is yet again shunning the PlayStation 3 for its next title, if an internet job listing is anything to go by.
The ad, which can be found on games recruitment site Gamasutra, calls out for a handful of art-centric jobs including lead artist, level builder and animator positions.
"Do you believe video games are art? WE DO! 2K Boston, the studio behind the art-deco inspired underworld dystopia known as Rapture, is looking for talented Artists to help bring our next vision to life," the job ad reads.
Crucially for internet conspiracy theorists though, 2K Boston only lists Xbox 360 and Windows as platforms for the title in question. So unless it's keeping quiet, PlayStation 3 owners are yet again going to miss out.
Regardless, rumour fires saying Bioshock will be coming to PS3 eventually still refuse to die, despite the studio point-blank stating "There will be no PS3 version of BioShock." You can't say fairer than that, really.
For now then, owners of the big black box will have to pick up a 360 or take the more expensive route of tinkering with their PC. And if you don't think it's worth it check out our review here, because it really, really is.

Ubisoft has said to expect a patch for Assassin's Creed on PlayStation 3 "as soon as possible".
The patch will deal with "freeze issues" affecting "some consumers" trying to play Ubisoft Montreal's latest - and the UK's current chart-topper.
"This update will help improve the stability of the game and will be released as soon as possible," the bits of the forum post made by the publisher's UK community manager that we haven't quoted in paragraphs one and two added.
"In the meantime thank you for your ongoing feedback and patience."
Which is of course followed by lots of people saying things like "I'm don't believe it till I see it" and so on.
One good question was whether or not the update will be downloadable away from the PlayStation Network, since that facility is available on PS3 for firmware updates, but at the time of writing Ubisoft hasn't responded to that particular query.
We'll let you know when the patch goes live. For more on the enjoyable, albeit rather repetitive Assassin's Creed, turn your eyes to our Assassin's Creed review

Live qualifying events for the FIFA Interactive World Cup have taken place in Denmark, the Netherlands and Hungary this month as part of EA and FIFA's search to find out who is best at FIFA 08 on PS3 (I'd like to take this opportunity to rule myself out).
15-year-old Christian Lønhart from Bagsværd in Copenhagen and 17-year-old Hungarian Roland Császár won the first two events, while Dutchman Andries Smit is apparently up for his second Grand Final in a row after a "tense qualifying match" at the weekend in the Netherlands.
Apparently more than 10,000 people from 25 countries have been trying for top spot on the PlayStation Network leaderboard since the game's release in October, with qualifiers set to continue across Korea, Portugal and eventually over 20 locations worldwide in the next five months.
On 24th May 2008, 32 finalists will then head off to Berlin to compete for FIFA Interactive World Player 2008, with the winner even getting an invite to the FIFA World Player Gala 2008. We'd say that it'll be worth practising the special watch-nicking handshake and pickpocket skills in advance, but the cash prize of USD 20,000 will probably be enough to save the wallets and bling of the world's finest sportsmen (besides, better pickings seem to be had around Liverpool on European Cup nights, judging by the red-tops).
You can find out more about getting involved at the official website, but do remember that this year's tournament is PS3-only due, presumably, to a money hat that even Sepp Blatter could fit his head into.

Dubai International Capital has bought an undisclosed number of shares in Sony Corporation, thought to be worth as much as USD 500 million.
The company, which manages a USD 13 billion fund on behalf of the emirate's ruler, had previously stated it was looking to invest USD 500 million in a Japanese company on November 19.
And now, according to a report on Bloomberg, the company has acquired a "substantial" stake in Sony, said its CEO Sameer al-Ansari in a statement.
"The combination of Sony's truly global brand, its leadership position in product design and its global footprint will spur the business' medium term growth."
The move pushed up Sony's share price by 4.6 per cent to JPY 5500 (USD 50.6), beating the Nikkei average which rose 1.7 per cent largely down to a strong US retail performance in the post-Thanksgiving period last week.

News/release from JLF65
I just updated LightMP3 to play FLAC. Someone in another thread here was asking about playing FLAC, and I remarked that it would be pretty simple to add FLAC to LightMP3. So I went ahead and did so. This is the latest LightMP3 (checked out of the subversion repository) with a flac player driver added to it.
Put your FLAC files anywhere, but ms0:/MUSIC/ is always a good place. To avoid having the XMB player trying to play them, put them a level deeper. I put the album folders in ms0:/MUSIC/flac/.
I call it beta because there's one BIG bug - the playspeed and suspend don't work with FLAC (they're both almost certainly the same issue since they use the same command). So don't try to suspend while playing FLAC files, and don't try to use the playspeed function (left/right). Otherwise, it seems to be doing pretty good for me. It even reads the tags in the files. I'm running it on a PSP Slim with 3.71 M33-3.
This archive includes the binary as well as the source folder. You don't need the source to use it - it's just for devs and people interested in those that sort of thing.

News/release from JustChris:
Roll 'Em Out will be a game in the same type as Super Monkey Ball- you roll a ball towards the goal, trying to avoid falling out of the course. I've been mostly working on the collision detection, since it's the most essential part of the game to get working right.
This demo only provides a small piece of what is possible. But making levels is currently done with coding in the polygons, which isn't exactly productive. My next step is to make a level editor.
