So, Sony's been having a rough couple days ... eh, disregard that. Sony's been having a rough week. Fine, fine -- month. But there's a silver lining -- none of this has hurt Sony's brand power. AlixPartners, a global corporate-advisory firm, says after surveying more than 5,000 consumers that Sony is #1 in their minds.
The company's press release states, "The AlixPartners Brand Power Index draws a clear distinction between mere popularity, which a brand can achieve temporarily through discounting, etc., and true brand power, which the index measures on a consumer trust-versus-distrust formula." Sony came in first place followed by Johnson & Johnson and Kraft. Dell and Hewlett-Packard were the only other consumer electronics in the top ten and they were way at the bottom. No word on Microsoft or Nintendo brand power.
There's no arguing Sony's brand power and it's a good sign that in 5,000 consumer's minds it's the tops. Thing is with the PS3 nobody had issue with the brand power, just look at the sales of the PlayStation 2 -- that thing is still a money making monster. Not to mention at $130 the PS2 is worth every penny for a family. A DVD player and an amazing game console in one small neat little package. Sony's problem with the PS3 isn't brand, it's price. Forget us as gamers and techno-babble Blu-ray freaks who will fanboy flame-out and just spend money. Sony execs should talk to the single mother waiting at the bus stop in the morning, go to a neighborhood barbershop, find a sixth-grade elementary school teacher to talk to. Nobody will ever deny Sony's brand power, but people are stuck at $600 as a jumping-off point for a game console.

National Public Radio on Friday's episode of All Thing Considered did a piece on the "retirement" of Ken Kutaragi. In less than thirty-seconds into the piece focus shifts from Kutaragi leaving to the PlayStation 3's less than stellar sales.
NPR beats the same drum as every other media outlet at this point. Finding a group of gamers in a GameCrazy store, it turns out that none of them own a PS3. When NPR asks the men why the PS3 isn't selling well, one responds, "Its just the price, the only thing that kills it is the price. Six-hundred, seven-hundred dollars out the door, that's a lot of money. If it was the price of the Xbox -- I'd get one."
Another gamer says that all the good titles aren't exclusive to Sony and that all the games he likes for PlayStation are all on the PS2. NPR tempers it all by saying we're only six months into a cycle that'll last many years.

Everyone reading now is likely to be significantly older (and thusly worse at video games) by the time they're actually released, but the legendary departing Kutaragi-san told EE Times, "As a matter of course, I have the vision of Playstation [sic] 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network." Proud father of some of the best selling game consoles of all time apparently looks forward to seeing his ideas for PlayStations 4, 5, and 6 all come to be; obviously specifics were nil, and not much more than that to be heard since we're sure it's still all conceptual, pie in the sky stuff right now. But it's still kind of funny to imagine what the PS6 will be like, and just how accurately it will replicate sensory perception over its SIXSENSIS neural-link compared to those totally obsolete last-gen 2020-era consoles

We all know that Krazy Kenny K officially announced that he was stepping down from his PlayStation empire this week, signaling the end of an era and the end of an explosive career. It doesn't take a genius to realize that Kuturagi is scape-goat #1 for any and all of the PS3s alleged failings (which include, but are not limited to, high production costs, launch shortages and lower than desired post-launch sell-through.)
Given the abrupt end to the Kuturagi saga, the analysts are already coming out with their takes on "what went wrong." Business 2.0 writer Chris Taylor has plenty to say on how Sony lost their lead and has "lost this round of the console wars to its Japanese rival, Nintendo's Wii." While we think it's too early to be making those kind of calls, the article is interesting -- even if we don't agree with the analysis in whole (or even in large part). For our lazier readers, Business 2.0 provides these key lessons from Sony and Kutaragi's PS3 development:
- Focus on making a better controller, not relying on the same "handheld mess of buttons" (i.e. Dualshock design = failure)
- Don't put drives in your console that are too slow to properly load games (I'm not making these up)
- Build a console that only costs $150 like the Wii (they have since corrected this little doozy of a detail)
In the end, it turns out that this is really an article about what Nintendo may have done right. And there's no doubt that Sony has done -- and is doing -- some things right as well. We'll see how that plays out in the months and years ahead. Then we'll declare a winner (that's your cue, Xbox fanboys... attack!).

Sure, the game's not due out for another year, but some teeny, tiny boxart has popped up for the SOCOM-like Rogue Warrior on the PS3.
In Rogue Warrior, you play as real-life ex-SEAL, Dick Marcinko, and fight in a fake war that has you trapped behind enemy lines in North Korea on a covert mission to assess the threat posed by North Korea's nuclear arsenal as North and South Korea decide to play King of the Hill.
The game plans o diferentiate itself via "contiguous levels using Unreal 3 streaming technology. Central to the game's single and multiplayer experience is the idea of a freeform battlefield, where players are given the freedom to choose how to complete a given objective, allowing for creativity and surprises, rather than heavily scripted events and tightly contained spaces traditionally used in this genre."
Look for this in April... 2008!

I was looking for news around the web,and I found over a french site that Z33 and jas0nuk released the new RCO Edit. They found out that the 3.40 has font customization,it looks like the font color can now be changed,and even the visualizer!
Note: Please be careful. This was only test on firmware 3.40 OE. It could be dangerous on firmwares below 3.40 OE,so don't be dumb.

Straight from Japan comes a Playable Demo of Lumines 2, heres some info about the game:
Lumines II for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system is the highly anticipated sequel to the extremely addictive puzzle-based video game, Lumines. Take control of squares made of four smaller block pieces that are dropped into the playing field one at a time to form same-color rectangles. The vertical "timeline" sweeps across the playing field from left to right and wipes the same-color rectangles from the playing field. Unmatched blocks pile up, and the game ends when the pile gets to the top of the playing screen. Features mind-blowing graphics and some of the hottest artists from today including Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, The Chemical Brothers, Beck, Hoobastank, and much more!

Ah, spring football. It's that innocent time of year when college teams across the country merrily walk through plays in their practice jerseys, the pressures of Division 1 football far behind them. So when we got our hands on NCAA Football 08 for a quick game Thursday, we naturally chose to play the most pressure-packed game out there: Michigan at Ohio State.
NCAA 08 is still relatively early in development, somewhere in mid-Alpha, EA says. Like most football teams this time of year, NCAA 08 has plenty of apparent flaws that need fine-tuning. But like the Wolverines (stacked again) and the ever-dangerous Buckeyes, NCAA 08 shows a lot of promise too.
IGN Sports editor Jon Robinson and I jumped right into the Horseshoe and changed the weather to 11 degrees with slight precipitation. That means snow. Now if the console had been hooked up to Xbox Live, the new real-time weather feature courtesy of the Weather Channel would have selected 65 degrees and cloudy, as it was in Columbus on April 26 at 5:30 p.m. But snow is more fun.

By know, everyone's heard about Joan of Arc, the young French heroine whose visions impelled her to save her homeland from English domination. But did you know that she fought against trolls, dark elves and evil catwomen? You would if you were playing Jeanne D'Arc, Level-5's loosely inspired turn based tactical game that adds elements of fantasy to the historical adventure. We recently managed to check out the title and came away with these impressions.
We were told that each mission in the game will have different objectives to keep the action fresh. Some missions will require you to kill every enemy on the screen, while others will require you to get to a specific spot on the battlefield. We checked out one specific mission where we had to escort the Dauphin, Charles the VII to Notre Dame so he could be crowned King of France. Unfortunately, a catwoman and her forces had different ideas, and we had to protect the young royal from meeting an early death. Fortunately, we were able to place a number of troops in front of him to ensure that Charles would make his coronation on time. Depending on the battlefield, players will be able to control anywhere between one and nine different warriors, with the average number of soldiers landing around 5-7 a mission.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have found two more territories to duke it out in as each console launches in regions where the other has already been stocking store shelves.
In India, the PlayStation 3 launches today for 39,990 INR (US $981). The Xbox 360 launched in India September 26 with a 23,990 INR (US $515) price tag for the premium system, although the Times of India states the current price for the 360 in India is 27,990 INR (US $686). Nintendo has not yet officially launched the Wii in India.
SCEE sales and marketing director Tim Stokes told TOI he expects the Indian gaming market to grow a massive 850% in three years, from $50 million currently to $425 million in 2010. Sony initially shipped 1,200 units. According to the article, only one model -- the 60 GB SKU -- will be available.
In the United Arab Emirates, the Xbox 360 is launching for 1,799 UAE dirhams (US $490). The PlayStation 3 launched in the region March 23 with PAL territories for 2,499 UAE dirhams (US $680). Games for the Xbox 360, according to Gulf News, will cost between 139 and 279 dirhams (US $37 and $76, respectively).

Sony's ThreeSpeech blog is hinting at upcoming downloads for the PlayStation Network release Gran Turismo HD. While simply announcing that a new video of the game will be hitting the PlayStation Store sometime soon, featuring the currently unplayable Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z, they write that we should also keep an eye on GranTurismoWorld.com for future announcements.
The Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z was playable in a special edition of Gran Turismo HD shown at the Nissan Motor Sports Exhibition 2007 in Yokohama last month. Coincidence? Doubtful.
Does this mean we're going to see new cars available on a per car basis, presented with GTHD 1.3, or is this just speculation? We'll see, but I'm betting that new downloadable content is coming sooner rather than later for the driving sim.

Remember how would you change? It's the feature where we ask you, the oh-so-demanding reader, how you would change a particular gadget, service, device, etc. Well, how would you change has been on vacation a while, but it's finally friggin back, and since everybody's got video games on the mind this week (and because our last how would you change was for, you guessed it, the original Xbox 360), we're happy to ask: how would you change the PlayStation 3? As usual, we'll get you started with a few of the more obvious changes we'd go with. Personally, we'd really like the PS3:
Gain rumble
Lose a few bucks off the pricetag.
Tie down some additional codecs, and perhaps a decent home media streaming system.
Ready, steady, go!

Hey, if white and, um, black isn't your thing for game consoles, ColorWare's ready to step up to the plate and turn your system into something a little more unique. Able to switch up the aesthetics on your controller, system, or both, users can now hit up 30 different shades for all three now-gen systems with prices starting at $100 per job. (Not a bad idea if you're not up to plunking down for, say, an Elite.) ColorWare also hinted at new Zune, BlackBerry, and even iPhone colors in the pipeline for this summer, but right now we're just happy to spend an afternoon re-envisioning our console collection in crazy pastel hues.

A bit of digging has revealed that two Tom Clancy's EndWar teaser trailers are hidden within the viral website for the game, rev64.com.
Go to the site, let it load and slightly off centre at the top you'll see a yellow box with 'PASSCODE //' in front of it. Click on the box, type some nonsense into it and hit enter.
Do it correctly and you should hear some bloke speaking (make sure you have your speakers on). Once he's finished his spiel, click on the yellow box again and type in s9p1z6 and press enter. You should then hear a female voice talking about an energy crisis - essentially providing background on the game's setting.
Wait a short while.
Right, down left on the right you should eventually see two tiny flashing dots that you can click on. Click on these and you'll see the movies. One is of a jet fighter soaring through leaden skies and then releasing a bomb, while the second is shaky news cam-style footage of ground troops. Enjoy.
Tom Clancy's EndWar is an RTS for PS3 and Xbox 360 that's set on the battlefields of WWIII. Ubisoft's not revealed much to date, only promising that it's a "revolutionary war strategy game" that "will push the envelope of technology, showcasing artificial intelligence, graphics, physics and animations that were not possible prior to the launch of the new hardware systems."
