Sony's Kobayashi: better ICO box art could have boosted sales

Sep 17th 2009 2:46PM (Joystiq)
This reminds me of those Epic game boxes for the old 2600, Vic20 and C64 games.

Papa John's Camaro reward situation turns salty, ex-owners looking for bigger slice of the pie

Sep 3rd 2009 5:36PM (Autoblog)
I'm sure the legal department at Papa Johns (Cousin Vinnie?) would have reviewed the reward campaign before it was ever released.

I cant wait for the media backlash to start hitting the Sloanes. I also hope the IRS decides to poke their noses into this, thats $25K of extra income that they better declare.

Some unfortunate people make that kind of money in a year and have to try to support others with that and these people have the nerve of getting that kind of money and not be happy with it?

Why is that because any Forza post is filled with Sony trolls?

The game looks nice just like Forza, the is a car blog so I'll keep it to being on topic. Owners of either console have a great racer, some have more cars some have more online features, it all comes down to racing and having fun.

I seriously didnt see Dan coming across as being a moron or conceded in anyway. The guy is giving props to all the other companies.

Regarding what FM has to offer vs others what console games have car painting to the level of Forza, how many games can you sell your custom paint jobs or specialized tunings? What about just getting online and connecting in and watching the top races being played at the moment, or being able to download the ghost runs of the top racers?

The choice of sticking with a DVD has totally weighed in their favor.

They were able to get a console out a year before Sony thus getting more games out before them and keeping the costs down. All of that means more consoles sold, more consoles sold more developers on-board to work with the console. That was a problem they had with the original Xbox. I think with the number of units that are sold they're not un-happy with their media selection.

The blobs will only be issues for people playing on the Arcade units which most have probably gone out and gotten a used HD of the web. Also if you know how to drive your more than likely not going to see the blobs because they'll be behind you.

Ok when I got my Pro I was able to use the MS transfer cable to get my stuff from the 20G to 60G, odd. This was before NXE wonder if that had something to do with it.

Yeah call MS and they will mail you out a Data Transfer cable, I got mine for free.
Its pretty straight forward to move the data over, the transfer takes a bit of time because its USB so start if you have some demos that you can download again later trash them to speed up your transfer.

I enjoyed the interview, Dan G seems like a totally down to earth guy.

Grand Turismo fans be happy that this games exists because its pushing them to do more with GT, damage is now part of their classic franchise, we'll see how much of the online features they'll incorporate from Forza. Forza/GT doesnt matter this is a win win situation for all gamers you can get a proper racing game on either console.

Autoblog Video Exclusive: Bugatti Veyron joins Forza Motorsport 3

Looks great, I really cant wait for this game to come out. Of course I'm probably going to have race about 100 races before I can afford to by it. Thankfully I can sell some of my custom paint jobs and get more in game money. These cars will be doing quite well in the auction house.

DIY cameraphone macro lens requires one old DVD player, zero tech savvy

You can use a similar trick for your digital cameras as well.

A magnifying glass in front of your digital camera will allow you to shorten your focal length to Macro lengths and also you can use your zoom too.

I've gone that route and also used a reverse mounted 50mm SLR lens
