Episode 251: The New Crew ReturnsEpisode 251: The New Crew Returns
After last week’s special appearance by Derrick and Jennifer Schommer along with Don Dunn, the regular crew of Jonah Falcon, Jordan Lund and Paul S. Nowak return, and they find themselves with some fascinating news items.
The news items include:
- Blizzard brags Diablo III will have difficulties that are harder-than-hard
- Sony passed on Demon’s Souls because it was “crap“
- Sony credit rating downgraded, “strong recovery in earnings unlikely”
- Tim Schafer raises $1.6M (and counting) to develop an adventure game
- Epic’s Sweeney: Lifelike graphics will come in our lifetime
Paul is also running a contest to earn “Pixie Diamonds” currency for Disney’s Pixie Hollow social networking MMO, with the prize going to the person who can answer, “Who is your favorite Disney Prince or Hero, and why?”
Yet Another PSP Re-Design?Yet Another PSP Re-Design?
It seems as if this is the third time, but SCEE has announced a new PSP design with eight different bundles being offered. This fall we should see the PSP-3000, which sounds much like a fake Acme cartoon toy, but it’s for reals.
This version will have a built-in microphone, a redesigned (brighter) LCD screen with out-of-the-box Skype abilities. The Swiss Army knife of hand-helds will keep the current outward design with inner tweaks and each bundle will cause 199 Euro.
Is the market really looking for a re-design with these features or is this Sony’s way of competing with “color DS lite” designs. Nintendo re-releases the same product with brighter colors a few years after its release while Sony seems to push a few new hardware features or enhancements.
The end result, DS still beats all expectations in unit sales month after month.
