Wowzer writes: "Sega today announced that their arcade fighting game Virtua Fighter 5, originally announced at E3 in May as a PS3-exclusive, will make its way onto the Xbox 360. From the article: "Virtua Fighter 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 in North America and in Europe during late summer 2007. The game will also be available for the PS3 on February 20th, 2007 in North America and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the system's launch in March 2007." No new footage was revealed, as the official VF5 website is still showing the game only with a PS3 movie and screenshots."

Small Businesses Worry About MS Anti-Phishing 291

Posted by kdawson from the green-means-good dept.
prostoalex writes "Ever get that warm feeling of safety, when the anti-phishing toolbar on Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 turns green, telling you it's safe to shop on the site you're visiting? Well, you probably don't, but the millions of Internet users who will soon be running IE7 probably will be paying attention to the anti-phishing warnings. WSJ.com is reporting on how Microsoft is making it tough for small businesses to assure they're treated properly by the anti-phishing algorithm." From the article: "[S]ole proprietorships, general partnerships and individuals won't be eligible for the new, stricter security certificates that Microsoft requires to display the color. There are about 20.6 million sole proprietorships and general partnerships in the U.S... though it isn't clear how many are engaged in e-commerce... 'Are people going to trust the green more than white? Yes, they will,' says Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner Inc. and an expert on online payments and fraud. 'All the business is going to go to the greens, it's kind of obvious.'"

Submission + - PS3 already loosing popularity

Dan Miller writes: "Even though it can't be bought in stores, the hype around the PS3 is fading. Ebay prices have fallen close to the actual retail value and websites raffling them away aren't selling any tickets. A game trading community that I recently joined (www.GameTraderWorld.com) is raffling a 60gb PS3 and they are reporting a 30% chance to win for $20 because no one bought any tickets. Here is the link to the story: http://www.gametraderworld.com/news.php?id=21"

Journal Journal: Bra ads... on Slashdot? 8

Journal by Saige

Just a quick note to say that I am utterly STUMPED why I'd be seeing Lane Bryant bra ads here on Slashdot. You want to talk about not hitting the target audience...

On a side note, I've just taken a new position here at Microsoft with a new team. I'll update about that soon, but it's definitely something I'm very excited about!

Journal Journal: At Xbox HQ! 10

Journal by Saige

(I posted this over at My 1UP also.)

It's all about networking. :)

Yesterday, a friend of mine here at work IM'ed me - he was heading over to play some Halo 2 with a friend of his, a friend who happens to actually work on the Xbox itself. Did I want to go along? Well, duh! Hell yeah!

Journal Journal: I <3 Katamari 8

Journal by Saige

OK, this weekend, I finally got around to getting a PS2 (I had borrowed a friend's in the past, but she took it back). Along with that, there was a game I had heard so much about and had to buy.

Katamari Damacy.

Yeah, it's old news to a lot of people. Been there, done that, so on. Well, I never even had a chance to see it before, and since it was only $20, it was worth the money to check it out - if I didn't like it, well, not a problem at that price.

In case you haven't seen it yet, and the story submission isn't accepted (which is the way it usually is), I thought I'd post this here.
