Given how much I loved Watchmen the End is Nigh, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Part 2 at this year’s E3. Many complaints about the first one was that it was too short for the price, which was $19.99. I asked our booth guide what the price would be for Part II and she told me that it is 3 chapters long, and would cost $15 via PSN.Given how much I loved Watchmen the End is Nigh, I couldn’t wait to get my hands... more

After pics were leaked last week of what people were claiming was a new 'Slim PS3,' Sony has hit back at the rumours, serving Engadget with cease and desist letter regarding those supposedly leaked pictures of a new slim PlayStation 3.
The site points out that the source of the C&D letter isn't Sony itself, but rather the Chinese manufacturer, so nothing is certain yet. It certainly seems suspicious, in more ways than one.
"We just find that the following web pages on your website contain some confidential document and photos, which were highly possibly illegally released and posted," the statement reads. "We are investigating this violation and will bring all necessary legal actions regarding this matter. In order to protect the confidential information and prevent you from further legal issues and infringements, please immediately remove those pages and keep our request confidential. If you have any question regarding this issue, please feel free to contact us. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated."

I'm not sure whether this is a clever new innovation or a cry for help of "please buy our new already-obsolete-by-download technology". Apparently when Watchmen is released on Blu-ray, the disc will also include the Watchmen PS3 game which is also available as downloadable content for the PS3.

It's a Microsoft press release, so handle with care, but the company's claiming it did more than admirably on Black Friday, it hit the ball out of the park. Not only did the Xbox 360 outsell Sony's PlayStation 3 by three-to-one, says Microsoft, but the 360 managed its best Black Friday sales ever, including a 25 percent lift over 2007 figures.
"We entered into the Black Friday sales period with cautious optimism, knowing that dollar for dollar, Xbox 360 offers more social entertainment value than any other console on the market," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. Mattrick claims the company will continue global momentum off recent record sales combined with a global install base of 25 million and an online community of 14 million Xbox LIVE members.
You had me with 3-to-1, Don Mattrick, then you lost me at "dollar for dollar." Last I checked, "social entertainment value" happens offline too. The Xbox 360 may have the broadest online community, but I'm not sure it's fair to dismiss the Wii's "social entertainment value" as a place families and friends regularly converge live and in person. Just saying.
The brightest feather in Microsoft's cap is probably its claim to an "8.1 games per console" attach rate. If that's really accurate and not somehow spun up, it's probably the most salient indicator of the Xbox 360's health. You can sell all the hardware in the world, but if your attach rates are consistently low, it doesn't say much, competitively speaking, for post-purchase hang-time. Hardware is currently Nintendo's strong spot, but software seems to be Microsoft's.
