Yeah that would rock, now that I have started using FF the one thing that frustrates me is that all my searches bring up so many foreign language items. - Jordan Patterson

Photos have surfaced online of new packaging for the Xbox 360 Arcade that seem to suggest that Microsoft will be going from three Xbox 360 variants to just two - the Arcade and the Elite. - Bwana ☠

John Riccitiello is well-known as a man accustomed to living on the edge. His opinions, often controversial and polarizing, frequently tear rifts between factions of the gaming community. We imagine his latest outburst will be no different -- during EA's Q1 conference call, the polemical CEO said, "We think pricing will move hardware," and added, "We anticipate price cuts at some point and we'd like to see them later in the year." Sure, this may seem like the popular opinion right now, but there's plenty of folks who hold opposing beliefs. Like us -- we wouldn't mind seeing a universal increase in the price of consoles. You know, to keep the proles out. EA: We would like to see console price cuts this year originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

that and the DSi is a poor upgrade over the DSLite, while the PSPGo has many question marks over it (and a massive complaint over price!!). The NGage made a return last year - as an app rather than an unbelievably badly designed device (take the back off and the battery out just to swap game? The ngage was destined for nothing but fail!) and yet still didn't make a dent. The PC market is overwhelmingly moving towards digital distribution, but the issue still exists that there is little to no price difference between digital copies and retail copies - unless you're buying old games and/or indie releases, not including things such as the stream weekend deals. It's just the iphone that has the potential to shake that market up - I've played with a few in dev titles right now, Manic Monkey Mayhem from the Code Monkeys is one of the best looking iphone games I've ever seen, as well as my GF working for someone that deals with all of segas portable titles giving me an interesting insight there.. tho I can't really say anything otherwise she'd get the boot :( - alphaxion

When they make their name finding 'the next big thing', they have to continue the hunt to maintain the credibility... Trashing the thing they helped make popular only adds to the mystic that they know what's coming around the bend. - Johnny

AT&T hasn't gotten any worse in my opinion. All these guys jumping ship knew what they were getting into. - Bwana ☠

Google have announced their acquisition of video compression specialists On2, in a deal worth almost $107m.  While the search giant has not revealed in what way it will be applying On2’s expertise, they have stated that they “think that video compression technology should be a part of the web platform” which suggests it will have applications not just in YouTube – which Google acquired back in October 2006 – but potentially in the company’s upcoming Chrome OS. In the meantime On2 will continue to provide its compression expertise to its existing clients, which include Skype, Sony, Sun and Nokia.  Presuming regulatory and stockholder processes present no hiccups, the deal is expected to be finalized in Q4 2009.

T-Mobile USA’s latest Android smartphone, the myTouch 3G, goes on sale today, and to celebrate (and, dare we say, distract attention from the HTC Hero) the carrier is planning an aerial show above San Francisco. 100 skydivers will plummit, sky-writing as they go, to announce the fact that the myTouch 3G costs $199.99 with a new two-year agreement. Unlike the HTC Magic version of the smartphone, the myTouch 3G will be available in three colors: black, white and merlot (red). Each will come preloaded with Android OS 1.5 Cupcake, and have 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, a 3.2-inch touchscreen and 3.2-megapixel camera. If the thought of falling salespeople isn’t enough to lure you out of the house – or if you’re not in San Francisco – then you can also pick up the new smartphone online.

Namco Bandai is making a push to capitalize on the iPhone gaming "gold rush," as evidenced by the recent opening of its new Apple Games division. In an interview with Kotaku, Apple Games' recently ordained manager, Jonathan Kromrey, explained exactly how the company was going to win over the mobile gaming crowd -- by bringing arcade heavyweights "like Pac-Man, Galaga, Soulcalibur and Tekken" to Apple's handheld device. Of course, those last two carry with them a substantial barrier: The iPhone and iPod Touch's limited control capabilities. Kromrey explained that Namco was "thinking about" how to make the brawlers work without a controller. We suggest some sort of voice control scheme, but only because we think it'll result in some hilariously awkward subway rides. "Punch! Punch! Kick! Punch! Block! Spinning Frankensteiner!"

We've been shirking our updating duties here, so we thought it'd be a good time to do some quick housekeeping: We recieved a bunch of positive responses to the release of the .vmf source behind our official TF2 maps. As a result, we've decided to go ahead and release the source behind all the player character models, as well as associated animations. We hope this will make it much easier for custom modellers to design new character models, and for machinima makers to have more control over how characters animate in their movies. Look for that SDK update in the next week or so. - Bwana ☠
