Sony to discontinue 80gb PS3 in North America-> 1

Submitted by

RamblinLonghorn writes "According to Gamasutra, Sony is planning to discontinue the 60gb model of the PS3, focusing instead on the 80gb model packaged with MotorStorm. This follows the price cut of the 60gb model announced before E3. According to a Sony Representative, "The US are currently transitioning from the 60GB to the 80GB mode of the PlayStation 3. When stock of the 60GB model runs out it will no longer be available in the U.S."

The previously announced 80gb version, will be left as the only North American model, with the 20gb model having previously been discontinued. The question we're left with is: What was the point of the 100$ price cut?"

Woman trades sex for WOW gold

Submitted by JTT
JTT writes "There are multiple sites reporting that in April a woman used craigslist to trade sex for WOW gold in order to purchase an 'Epic Flying Mount'. Aparent pictures of the craigslist ads can also be found floating around the net. The 'player' followed up with 'I got MY epic mount AND I got laid which is more than most of you failures can ever hope for.'"

"King of Kong" documents excellence in Don

Submitted by

Carl Sable writes "I saw the documentary "King of Kong" last night at the Tribeca Film Festival. This film concerns the rivalry between Billy Mitchell — a legend among the classic arcade game diehards — and Steve Wiebe — a newbie who is on a quest to take over the title of best Donkey Kong player in the world. Also documented are many of the key players of Twin Galaxies, the organization that keeps track of, and verifies, world records for classic arcade games. I went to see it figuring it would be a mildly amusing story, and instead saw what I consider to be a wonderful film on many different levels. It is vastly entertaining with great character development, and perhaps most surprising, it is exciting — the entire audience applauded at several points throughout the film. It looks like tickets are still available for Wed, May 2, at the time I am posting this, and if you're in the NY area, I highly recommend it."

Windows Vista may be seen as a risk

netrarc writes "Dell has polled its customers and decided that shipping all of their new systems with Vista may not be what the users want. According to 11,000 respondants on Dell's IdeaStorm site, XP should be kept around for a while longer.

Quote from the article: "In most cases people usually want the latest technology, but in the case of computers the vast majority of non-Geek, non-power users just want something they know they can use. Your typical family will have a Windows XP machine, and the parents have learned to use it. If they upgrade, the move to Windows Vista may be seen as a risk."

Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying as an income tax refund. -- F. J. Raymond
