I believe that this is the model for the future of gaming.
Quite a bit of publisher support!

Right. But in the future, before the robot uprising, when all video is downloadable/on-demand... then THIS will make more sense. I would be extremely surprised if OnLive is successful. It's just too soon for non-tangible products. But years down the road, this model will make a lot more sense. Look at the Roku thing for watching Netflix - not wildly successful, but will make a lot more sense down the road. I think this OnLive is a fair comparison.

King Of Daytime TV wrote:9.30 Jeremy Kyle's The Jeremy Kyle Show (Jeremy Kyle for short)
Jeremy Kyle hosts Jeremy Kyle's award winning (i assume it was the 4 weeks sober badge from AA) Jeremy Kyle Show, where Jeremy Kyle invites members of the British public to go on national television (it's international though, fucking gentlemen) and talk their problems over with the help of Jeremy Kyle. Jeremy Kyle will come out & tell you the guests' back story, then Jeremy Kyle brings out the first guest & asks them to tell Jeremy Kyle the back story. Jeremy Kyle then invites the person the guest has the problem with & SHOUTS LIKE FUCK for a bit, lets the audience jeer at the people on stage, then Jeremy Kyle SHOUTS IN A CONDESCENDING MANNER, shakes his head & tells a runner to hand the guests the DNA test results (it's always DNA tests on this fucking show, 4 per episode, 5 episodes a week. If this was the UK version of Springer, we would be on the 6th "I Caught My Husband Fucking Our Cattle" episode by now, but no, it's the Jeremy Kyle Show, with Jeremy Kyle). Jeremy Kyle will then banish the guests from the stage & do the whole thing again, but just before ad-breakes he'll tell you to keep watching Jeremy Kyle's Jeremy Kyle show, because he, Jeremy Kyle, has got footage you need to see (hopefully of Jeremy Kyle pulling Jeremy Kyle's head out of Jeremy Kyle's arse*).
10.30 This Morning (ends at 12.30pm) Hosted by an ex-children's TV presenter & an ex wonder-bra model. It's pretty much like GMTV, but with cookery segments. Last week was "sex week". They had guests on who had tried a range of vibrators & were reviewing them, but no one was aloud to say the word "vibrator". They used to have a guy come on and do the weather on 5 bits of foam floating in the water, he was good.
12.30pm Loose Women.
Four sex-starved, jaded, bitter cows will explain that they're gagging for a shag, yet too far up their own arses to actually find anyone they meet attractive (which is a good job, because they all look like someone left them out in the rain for too long one day & they've corroded so much that parts of them have crumbled away), then they'll perv over a male guest for about 15 mins, talk about how drunk they were at the weekend & how hard it is to be a woman, then, maybe they'll have 10 mins at the end to talk about a news story that either condemns women in general, or praises them.
1.30 News
British news, from a Londoner's perspective. Not a cheeky bastard, loveable rogue, Danny Dyer sort of Londoner, but some upper middle class dickhead.
Areas in Britain are referred to by geographical location only below the Anglo-Scottish border. "...and people in the North have been protesting" will begin a story about people in Newcastle instead of Inverness.
1.55 Scottish News
A guy from Edinburgh tries to squeeze "Glasgow's fucked because of the decline of the shipping industry, Aberdeen's fucked because we're about to run out of oil, Millport's no even on the map ony mare & Dundee? I don't even know where to start..." into 3mins before the weather presenter comes on & tells you the weather in the north east while standing right in front of the part of the map he's referring to. "You want the temperature before you leave the house? Turn on the fucking wii then, or google it, you lazy Struggling Background Artist" he seems to say.
2.00 60 Minute Makeover
A show where people come in, paint 4 walls & build some flat-pack shelves from Ikea. They only have 60mins to do it, will they manage?**
3.00 Auction Party
Moldy old shit from your gran's loft gets auctioned off, but this time, the auction takes place in the living room of your house.
4.00 The first real television show of the day, Rosemary & Thyme.
5.00 The Hour
Hosted by an ex-singer (she won Pop Idol) who lost a lot of weight before putting the majority of it back on again & an ex-alcoholic (he won £5 on the fruit machines in his local pub).
It's This Morning, but with Scottish people.

April 13th, 2010 by Castina
Mean Girls arrives on Nintendo’s handheld DS system later this month, but there’s an even bigger buzz brewing over one very glaring omission from the game’s cover art: actress Lindsay Lohan.
The 2004 teen comedy featured a group of mean-spirited high school princesses who set out to destroy Lohan’s Cady Heron. The box art for the game features only the bitchy posse of teen terrors known as “The Plastics” (Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert) — LiLo is nowhere to be seen, although the movie revolved around her character. In the game, players will guide Cady on her quest to defeat the super-popular “Plastics” and become prom queen. The troubled starlet’s likeness will be absent from all promotional materials for Mean Girls for Nintendo DS, which goes on sale next week.
No reason has been given for the snub, but we’re willing to bet Lindsay’s alleged recent drug relapse has something to do with it.

Too bad I won't let my kid join the scouts because of their anti-Dumbledore policy.... well that and the fact that I was kicked out for saying the word "fuck" during a den meeting.

Lord Voldemoo wrote:Bungie, creator of Halo franchise, signs huge publishing deal with Activision-Blizzard
Activision-Blizzard will be the exclusive publisher of Bungie's next franchise over the next 10 years. That means that for those of you who were fans of Halo, but now own a PS3 (or maybe even a Wii), you will likely be able to play Bungie's next franchise on your platform. This is probably a bit of a blow to Microsoft (who was in the running to remain Bungie's exclusive publisher), but is generally good for gamers.
The final game in the Halo franchise, "Halo: Reach", is not effected by this deal and will be published by Microsoft in fall 2010, so PS3 and Wii owners are out of luck there...
The rich at A-B get richer, as they are already the developers and/or publishers of the Call of Duty franchise (probably Halo's biggest rival in the fps space) the most financially successful and widely subscribed MMO of all time, World of Warcraft, and the most successful music-related game of all time, Guitar Hero...among many others.

What are you talking about?
Playstation owners don't pay a subscription fee--...... oh... you're on X-box.... nevermind..![]()

That IS a truly shitty thing that they are doing. Penalizing consumers like that is just rotten business.
It wouldn't surprise me to see some sort of lawsuit to stop this.

As far as I know (read a different article about this) EA's "plan" goes out to all consoles/PC games.
And PS3's service as it is now will remain free. They're going to add "premium content" eventually that will require a subscription fee.
Again, that's according to my memory so it might differ in reality.

No, that's correct Fievel.
I do wonder what they will add to the 'Premium' service, or subtract from the service available at the moment.
But yes, back on topic.
I hate EA. FACT!

If you don't have a code, you'll be asked to buy one. If you don't, you won't be able to sign in to gamernet & use it's features (leaderboards, online multiplayer, updates...).

Joystiq wrote:According to Joystiq's sources, Sony is set to reveal a premium tier of the PlayStation Network service, labeled PSN+, during its 2010 E3 media briefing. Unlike Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold service, PSN+ will focus on giving paid subscribers additional bonuses without limiting online multiplayer between paying and nonpaying users.
Many of the features included in the premium service mimic those featured in a supposed survey released late last year. Sources tell us that subscribers will have access to a rotating list of PSP Minis and PSone Classics, exclusive in-game DLC, discounts to the PlayStation Store and "first hour" demo access to full retail titles. Following the first hour of gameplay, players will have the ability to purchase the full title; however, demo access will only be available once the entire title has been downloaded.
As PSN+ subscribers, gamers will also receive protection for their consoles with the recently announced PlayStation Protection Plan, as well as exclusive access to the long-awaited cross-game voice chat. Additional features are said to be in the works following the launch of PSN+, including the previously rumored cloud-based saving system.
Joystiq has been informed that PSN+ subscribers will also have the ability to enable an auto-patching feature, which will detect, download and install updates for recently played PS3 titles on the system.
Pricing and a release for the PSN+ service is unknown, though one source speculates PSN+ may cost $9.99 per month. When contacted, a Sony representative said the company does not "comment on rumors or speculation."
