Submitted by RogueyWon on Wednesday January 13, 2010 @07:58AM

RogueyWon writes: The Times is reporting that Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5, likely to prove a key title for the Playstation 3, has been delayed indefinitely, despite an expectation that it would be released relatively early in 2010. As reported by the Times, the delay seems likely to impact Sony's plans to bundle the game with the Playstation 3 console, in time for the important spring sales period in Japan.

RogueyWon writes: The end of the year can always be depended upon to bring a flood of "game of the year" roundups. This year, Eurogamer seem to be kicking things off, with their readers' top 50 list and their editorial pick. These articles usually prove contentious, and no doubt there will be plenty of dissenting views this year. Of course, with the start of a new decade now upon us, now might be a good time to reflect on the best games of 2000-2009.

RogueyWon writes: "As reported by the BBC, Sony have accompanied the UK launch of the PS3 with a rather spectacular PR move, giving away free HD TVs to more than 100 gamers who had queued up for hours at the Virgin Megastore on London's Oxford Street. To top this off, Sony also paid for taxi rides home (hardly cheap in London), to avoid ugly scenes as the lucky customers carried their expensive toys across the city. The move, reported to have cost Sony £250,000, certainly seems to have gone down well with the beneficiaries. With a price-tag significantly higher in Europe than in the rest of the world, the coming weeks will tell whether other UK gamers will be as enthusiastic."

RogueyWon writes: "The Register, which often takes a sceptical view of Second Life, has an article up that claims to cut through much of the hype surrounding the online world's economy. From the article:

"In other words, this economy has a population about the size of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, or Troutdale, Oregon. And each business has the prospect of a market of no more than 100 people in one place — a number easily accommodated by a church hall."
Unwarrented grumbling, or an valid rejoinder to the latest online media darling?"
