October 31, 2007 was the official end of the "grace period" for Blu-ray manufacturers, after which all players released must comply with the latest standard--Blu-ray Profile 1.1 (also known as Final Standard Profile and BD-Video Profile 1.1). Of course, that doesn't mean Profile 1.0 Blu-ray players still can't be sold, and if you walk into your local electronics store over the next few months, you're likely to see both Profile 1.0 and Profile 1.1 Blu-ray players on the shelf. So what's the big difference between Profile 1.0 and Profile 1.1?
Profile 1.0 vs. 1.1
There are several different hardware requirements, but it basically boils down to picture-in-picture functionality. All Blu-ray players up until this point have been Profile 1.0 and have lacked the secondary video and audio decoders necessary to play a smaller video in the corner while also playing the main high-def movie in the background. With the notable exception of the PlayStation 3, Profile 1.0 players cannot be upgraded via firmware to become Profile 1.1 players.

Strauss Zelnick, chairman of Take 2, has refused to narrow down a release period for Grand Theft Auto IV, saying the publisher won't commit until it's "utterly convinced" the game is ready.
Most recently the publisher has said the title will be released in Q1 of 2008 – between February 1 and April 30 – following a delay that saw the game moved from its initial release of October 2007.
"It's a fair question given that we weren't able to stick to our firm date the last time. We're going to give a firm date when we are utterly convinced that we have it and that isn't right now," said Zelnick during a BMO Capital Markets conference yesterday.
"We know it's highly anticipated. Right now our view is to put out a high quality title and we're not in the business of disappointing investors."
Zelnick said that any concerns that the initial delay had caused it to miss the Christmas sales period have been alleviated, as GTA IV is a "must-have" title, able to take advantage of a bigger installed base of consoles in the New Year.
"I think there was a concern initially when we slipped that we missed the boat in terms of Christmas but I think that concern has been alleviated.
"I think most people see it as okay – hardware penetration is going to grow over Christmas and because this is a must-have title it's probably okay that we're not selling it in the Christmas season," he said.
Zelnick also said that the exclusive downloadable content for Gran Theft Auto IV would not play a very significant role in generating revenue for the company in 2008, but it was a business model the publisher is keen to pursue in the future.
"It actually isn't really significant in terms of its contribution in 2008," he offered.
"It's something we ought to be doing and my guess is that's where the industry is going. If you believe over time that package goods will be supplemented very much with online downloadable content, and you believe as I do that the future of playing interactive entertainment is networked multiplayer, then there's every reason to believe that downloadable content makes all kinds of sense.
"And eventually if you have a packaged good and you sell upgrades it's a pretty terrific business model for everyone. I think it could be really interesting, but to be clear, it's not in our plans and we're not relying on it for our success," he concluded.

Sony Europe has said it will sprinkle Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online onto the PlayStation Network tomorrow.
This, you may remember - like falling off a swing - adds an online versus mode, online rankings, a practice mode and a survival mode.
It will cost you GBP 14.99 if you buy it all in one, but if you listen to our Dickensian (as in David, not Charles) advice you could make a saving.
Buy the original Dark Resurrection PSN title for GBP 6.99 and add the Online Component for GBP 3.49 and you keep four-and-a-half quid to spend on an expensive pint of Belgian beer or flowers if you are Pat.
To enjoy this amazing bargain, however, you will need to buy the original Dark Resurrection game right now as in today, because come tomorrow it will be gone.

"Moving forward, we are confident in the God of War team, as they are an extremely talented group of people that are passionate about the franchise and dedicated to creating even more epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3."
The next release in the action-adventure franchise will be the PSP game, due for release in March 2008.

Like many of the Neo-Geo fighting crop (Samurai Showdown not included), the World Heroes series has some mixed reactions in this day and age. For example, its Virtual Console debut got a less than favorable mark from resident retro expert Jeremy Parish.
Nevertheless, SNK Playmore announced today that a compilation would be coming our way entitled World Heroes Anthology, the American counterpart to the recently released Japanese World Heroes Gorgeous. Why would they change that name?
At any rate, the collection includes World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect, and it will be available in spring of 2008. No price has been slated for the anthology as of yet; but at $9 a pop for Neo-Geo games on Wii, a budget price of $40 for the disc seems comparable.

Via PSP Hacks
A new custom firmware for Fat/Slim PSPs! Based on the original developments by Dark_AleX & Team M33 has been released, the coder is _ HellDashX_’s and called 3.72 HX.
Judging by Google’s poor translation of Spanish to English, there isn’t much new… Other than the fact it uses Sony’s latest 3.72 kernel. If you decide to upgrade, it’s likely some 3rd party PRX modules may stop working. Also, you’ll lose 1.50 kernel capabilities until a new patch is released.
Installation:
Download the update package below;
Download the 3.72 firmware update EBOOT;
Rename EBOOT.PBP from the 3.72 update to 372.PBP;
Copy 372.PBP, EBOOT.PBP (from the 3.72 HX package), and umodule.prx to PSP/GAME/UPDATE on your memory stick;
Launch the updater from the XMB;
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Perhaps someone will provide a properly translated version of the readme, soon…

Jason UK has released a new version of his Elf menu for Pandora, heres the release details and info:
This is a minimal ELF menu for Pandora.
Replace ms0:/kd/resurrection.elf on your magic memory stick with the one included in this archive, so the PSP loads it when you insert the Pandora battery & memory stick, and it shows a list of ELFs inside the ms0:/elf folder (it will give a warning and shutdown if the folder doesnt exist or there are no ELFs inside it)
Use D-Pad up/down to choose the ELF you want to run, and press X.
Hold HOME and press D-pad up/down to reload the menu if something goes wrong with the arrow, I have fixed as many problems as I could but it's still pretty bugged up. The handling code isn't perfect, but it should have no trouble displaying at least 20 apps.
LoadExec seems to have problems if the filename contains spaces or symbols, so use underscores(_) instead. These will be converted to spaces on the menu, so they look nicer.
Applications containing _SLIM or _FAT at the end of the filename (e.g. blah_SLIM.elf) will be greyed out if the menu is not running on that model.
For example, keyCleaner_FAT.elf will be greyed out and unselectable on a Slim PSP.
If the ELF fails to run, the screen usually flickers and remains on the ELF menu.
Note: you must use ELFs with this, EBOOT.PBP files are likely to fail (Use PBPUnpacker to extract DATA.PSP from whatever EBOOT you want to run, and rename it to whatever.elf)
Finally, there is a Shutdown option at the bottom.
CHANGELOG:
0.2 -> 0.2a
- Fully detects motherboard revision based on Tachyon and Baryon numbers (hardware revision info)
- Increases screen brightness to 80% (only on the fat PSP).
- Battery info in the top right corner

Time Crisis 4 has been in development for a while, yet we know little about it. What we do know is that it'll let you move your character as well as shoot, and these are the first images of the gun that'll make it all work.
Satsukawa explains the intricacies of designing a lightgun shooter of this type. "The Time Crisis team has been eager to implement a solution for moving and shooting to the series for years now - our development tools allow us to do this in early builds of games - but it was too difficult to implement this feature into a full game using only the Guncon 2 controller," he said.
So now he's making a new gun. "With our next title planned for the PS3 system, we began work on our next iteration of the Guncon hardware to bring new functionality to the series and allow us to implement our goals for a free-roaming Time Crisis experience," he added.
Below is a sketch of the initial ideas for a Guncon that could allow for Satsukawa to realise his aim. "We asked our designer to come up with a few illustrations showing a Guncon with one analog stick. After getting the results, we realized that this was going to be a more intimidating project than we had planned."
Protoype software was also made, as Satsukawa explains: "We worked for a month to create a prototype based on the Time Crisis 3 engine in which two players can move freely around a small square environment and try to shoot each other. ... Even though this early prototype only allowed for horizontal aiming, we felt confident enough in the design to move forward with the full game."
He concludes: "As we understood that we would have to implement vertical aiming in our game, we decided to revise our Guncon hardware designs to meet this goal. That was the real jumping-off point for Time Crisis 4, which I will cover in-depth soon in my next entry!"
We're interested to know if the Guncon will overcome the obstacle of working on LCD TVs (which old lightgun techniques won't work with) with a sensor bar like Wii (which doesn't simulate accurate aiming) or another way.

Sony is to release a new model PlayStation 2 in Japan, with an integrated power supply and cosmetic changes.
Released on November 22, SCEJ claims the new model is lighter due to an overhaul of the design architecture. It will also feature a built-in AC adaptor.
Despite rumours, the system will not benefit from a price cut this year, as it will still retail for JPY 16,000 (EUR 96).
The eight-year-old system will have a cosmetic makeover, coming in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with peripherals to match.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that it will be introducing a new model PlayStation 2 to the market in the new year.
Already scheduled for release in Japan later this month, the new model comes with an integrated power supply and is lighter due to revised internal architecture.
The redesigned unit will come in three colours – Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with matching vertical stands sold separately.
Despite rumours, the new unit will not be any cheaper in Japan than the current model, retailing for JPY 16,000, and it looks likely the same business model will apply in the European market.
Last month Sony celebrated the seventh birthday of the 120 million-selling console, revealing that more than a billion units of software had been sold for the machine since it launched in 2000.
The PlayStation 2 currently has a recommended retail price of GBP 94.99 / EUR 129.99 in Europe.
