Submission + - Fox digital copies - don't work on iTunes 10! (blogspot.com)

Goffee71 writes: So, we picked up X-Men Origins: Wolverine on DVD today on our way around the supermarket during the weekly shop, tempted in no small part by the tag offering "a digital copy of this movie for your portable player." It says on the voucher "enjoying a portable version of your favourite film has never been easier." and "Compatible with iTunes", I beg to differ!

Comment Re:MGS Peace Walker on PSP.... (Score 1) 272

Get the AAA games like God of War, MGS or Syphon Filter, WipeOut Pulse (or Pure) and the fun games like Patapon, LocoRoco, Everybody's Golf and Half-Minute Hero and the PSP has endless fun to offer, you just have to ignore the media obsession of calling a 50-million selling machine always being termed a failure. Throw in some decent minis, and you're laughing

I lived in the U.K. as a kid, but discovered him playing before baseball or football games (late night for us) on a, rather weak, AFRTS radio station (broadcasting from Belgium or Frankfurt, I think) - made me wonder if all Americans were that off the wall. Thought the power of the Internet would keep him going, but hey-ho - let's go!

Submission + - How can Sony's PSP2 beat the pirates? (blogspot.com) 1

Goffee71 writes: With the rumour/news that the PSP2 is going to be unveiled at E3, it makes me wonder what Sony will be doing to limit the piracy (short of hand-cuffs, retinal scans and the like) that has crippled development on the original console. A little digging shows PSP piracy is something like 60%+, comparing torrent downloads to sales from various sources for the bigger games.

How to stop it? The PSP was flawed from the start because the store came after the console. If the store had come first and all games were code-registered against the user account, then piracy could have been limited at the gate, assuming the user put their console online. The same can be said for firmware updates, if they were online-only updates with checks for legit code, like the PS3 and Xbox, then the damage could have been limited. Simple lesson, bring the console out after you've built in the protection. So what other lessons might Sony have learnt and what can it do?
