GTA IV expected to top 9 million sales at launch
334w ago
- There's no Burger King tie-in or special flavor of Mountain Dew. No commercial directed by Peter Jackson, or even an action figure.
The run-up to "Grand Theft Auto IV" has been considerably less ballyhooed than last year's over-the-top "Halo 3" debut. Yet when "GTA IV" parks on store shelves on April 29, the latest entry in the controversial video game franchise could be the most lucrative launch in entertainment history – and one that many people may not even know about.
Analysts predict Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games' open-world, action-driving game will easily top last year's record-breaking $300 million first-week sales of Microsoft and Bungee Studios' first-person shooter "Halo 3" – and without a similar marketing bonanza.
With the launch of "GTA IV" on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Rockstar is seemingly steering in one direction: the downlow.
"Rockstar wants to control the message all the time," says Sam Kennedy, editorial director for the gaming site 1UP.com. "They want this to be seen and perceived exactly the way they want. That's why – outside of the official trailers they released – people haven't seen a lot of gameplay footage in advance of 'GTA IV' shipping. They want to build that hype."
Take-Two and Rockstar declined to...

PS3 outsold Xbox 360 in February, says Pachter
341w ago
- Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter has told videogaming247 that his firm expects that PS3 outsold Xbox 360 in February, ahead of the release of NPD data on Thursday. PS3's lead over the Microsoft machine, Pachter reasoned, was due to continuing supply issues for Xbox 360.
His view is in contradiction to The simExchange's prediction that 360 had moved ahead of PS3 in February.
"We expect February U.S. retail video game console software sales data to be released after market close on Thursday, March 13. We forecast sales of $575 million, 27% compared to last year's $454 million. For purposes of comparison, The simExchange prediction market forecasts overall software sales of $592 million," he said.
"Our estimate reflects $485 million in sales contribution from new platforms (PS3, Wii, 360, PSP and DS) and current generation software sales of $90 million. We estimate sell-through of 300,000 Wii, 250,000 Xbox 360 and 260,000 PS3 consoles. For purposes of comparison, The simExchange prediction market forecasts 450,000 Wii, 285,000 Xbox 360 and 270,000 PS3
consoles sold in February. Our console sell-through forecasts reflect our belief that Wii, DS and Xbox 360 hardware continued to be supply constrained during the month. With the launch of several high-profile games in March, we...

PSN sales go from zero to hero - Sony "surprised"
347w ago
- A recent charge in users of the online PlayStation Network has surprised even Sony, SCEE president and CEO David Reeves says.
It seems the PSN has reaped the benefits of the recent turn of fortunes for the PS3, as Reeves stated: "One thing that has surprised us is in the Network purchases and the general level of interest that has been shown around the Network business."
He continues: "We've gone from zero to almost double-digit millions in terms of what people have purchased in euros.
"We've now got about two million PSN registrations. That's about 40 per cent of users. We've also had around 33 million downloads, which is a huge number. And we've got 25 stores up and running across the PAL territories," he told MCV.
Things should pick up even further when Sony unleashes its PSN virtual world, Home, later this year.

Blu-ray to accelerate PS3 sales, PS3 price cut by years end?
350w ago
- Analysts believe the Warner exclusive Blu-ray news is good for the PS3 and that Blu-rays success will lead to an acceleration of PS3 sales. Around 70 -80% of PS2 owners used the console as their first DVD player and the same could be true of PS3/Blu-ray.
Michael Pachter
believes that this year HDTV penetration will cross 50% of households and thats when Blu-ray will become more relevant, and Sony will likely cut the price of the PS3. However others believe that exclusive games are the most important factor and Blu-ray is not a main concern.
To quote: Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities thinks it's an important win, but the real impact won't be felt for some time since 1080p HDTV penetration is still fairly low. He does believe, however, that by the end of this year we'll start seeing a spike and that Sony will likely cut the price on PS3 by then as well.
Blu-ray has clearly gained momentum, and the upper hand, and the Warner announcement also provides a boost to the format, as well as for the advocates of Blu-ray as a standard. That said, locking up the suppliers of content and hardware manufacturers is only part of the equation. Consumers also must decide that they need a Blu-ray player, which seems more and more likely as prices decline," he said.
"As for the...

Japan PlayStation 3 sales beat Wii
356w ago
- Monthly sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) games console in Japan have overtaken those of rival Nintendo Wii for the first time.
Boosted by price cuts and the introduction of a cheaper version, PS3 sales totalled 183,217 in November, compared with 159,193 for the Wii.
The closely-watched figures from game magazine publisher Enterbrain will come as a welcome boost for Sony.
But analysts predict that the Wii will continue to dominate globally.
Sustainable trend?
"Overseas, I don't really see the PS3 doing that much at Christmas time primarily because it's still more expensive than the other machines and has less software," said KBC Securities analyst Hiroshi Kamide.
Both the PS3 and the Wii were launched towards the end of last year.
Since then there have been some months in which five or six times as many Wii consoles have been sold in Japan.
"It's nice to see the PS3 selling much better than six months ago," added Mr Kamide.
"But is it a sustainable trend? Is it going to really escalate from here? I'm not so sure."
The Wii has benefited from a much lower price compared with both the PS3 and Microsoft's XBox, but also from the novelty of its handset, which is fitted with a motion sensor.

I think I am on the right family but if your father is alive, or some aunts and uncles you might want to ask a few questions. There was only one Navarro family in Gonzales county in 1930 and that was a Pedro.
Notice that there are two Navarro families in the 1930 census. I think they are the same family but counted twice. Zapata and Webb are adjoining counties.
I found this family in the Texas Birth Indexes 1926-1949. Amador and Simona (Longoria) Navarro had Simona, Marta, Doris, Ramon, David, and Oscar in Webb county 1927 to 1941. Simona middle initial was "P" one time and "L" another time. For some reason, your father wasn't listed but he is in the census.

W hen the economy tanked seven years ago, innovation became the panacea that was going to cure everyone's fiscal ills.

Zena Dater, FE&S' 2008 DSR of the Year, has been with Oswalt Restaurant Supply in Oklahoma City, Okla., for 16 years. A restaurant industry lifer, Dater spent 23 years on the operations side, moving up through the ranks from waitress and bartender to general manager and, later, area director with El Chico Corp. and La Roca-La Luna. As a result, Dater strikes a chord with her chain and mom and pop restaurant customers in her home state and across the country — knowing exactly what they need and being able to see the business from their shoes.
Zena Dater: The people. Definitely the people. The energy level and passion of the people keeps us youthful.
Zena Dater: Absolutely. I think it's such a learning experience to be able to read people and interact. I think the foodservice industry is such a people business that it is a stepping stone for anything anyone wants to do in life, whether you're a server or manager or selling something.
Zena Dater: I was a car hop on roller skates. Oh my gosh.
Zena Dater: It was Chris Hart, who I worked for at El Chico. His style of management was the kind where I knew that's what I wanted to do when I got to that level. He was all about the people and he had a philosophy that there was a minimum level of acceptable performance that every employee needed to achieve, and if you tried to exceed that, you would go far in whatever career you would decide to do. He was all about taking care of the people who worked for him because he knew that would mean his guests would be taken care of.
Zena Dater: You only have your name so make sure that whatever you do you're protecting your name. And to be honest. Honesty will take you as far as you want to go.

Consumers kept a tight grip on their wallets in July, according to the U.S. Commerce Department but restaurant sales kept chugging along.

With July Fourth barbeque celebrations around the corner, you may be considering how to add a healthier touch to favorites like hamburgers, sausages and hot dogs, potato salad or chips. With just a few simple substitutions and additions, you can grill up a delicious and healthy spread to please your guests' taste buds and waist lines.
Hamburgers are an essential item for any barbeque. While you may have picked up some veggie burgers for your vegetarian guests or turkey burgers for those watching their saturated fats or calories, trying this recipe will give all of your guests the delicious taste of chargrilled burgers plus a couple of servings of vegetables! This recipe was created by pediatrician Mary Saph Tanaka and is kid- (and adult-) tested with glowing reviews.
"Veggieful" Hamburgers 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey 2 cups shredded vegetables (carrots, zucchini, peppers),br/> 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal 1 tsp of salt and pepper Whole wheat hamburger buns Toppings: Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, cheese
Hamburger patties: Mix vegetables, meat, salt, pepper and oatmeal in a bowl and stir. Take two large spoonfuls of mixture, roll into a ball and then flatten to form a patty.
Place pan on stove at medium heat. Place 1 TBS of olive oil in the pan. Place patties in hot pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side. Serve on hamburger bun with your favorite toppings!
Sausage and Hot Dogs
With sausage and hot dogs providing more than 25 percent of the recommended daily amount of saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in a single link, these barbeque favorites are definite "sometimes foods" (i.e. eat sparingly). Cut down on calories and saturated fat with a grilled chicken sausage. Many grocery stores and markets offer a large variety of chicken sausages- from spicy Italian to apple chicken for guests who prefer a sweeter taste, or a simple plain chicken sausage option perfect for loading on healthy toppings.
Potato Salad
Dripping with fat-filled mayonnaise and at high risk for spoilage in the hot summer sun, potato salad is a definite July Fourth staple to substitute (if for no other reason than to eliminate the risk of your guests remembering your party as the place they became violently ill from food poisoning). For a healthy and delicious new twist on the holiday favorite, try whipping up Pea and New Potato Salad.
Corn on the Cob
Freshly picked corn is a summer barbeque essential. For best results (both taste and presentation), grill the corn in husks. Here's how:
A Salad for Good Measure
It is not uncommon to have some sort of lettuce salad at a July Fourth barbeque, but oftentimes the salad is drab and unappealing, or simply a bowl of nutrient-void iceberg lettuce. Add color and nutritional value to your salad by mixing in a variety of colorful fresh summer produce. One idea is to toss together fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, blackberries, walnut pieces and feta cheese. Mix in raspberry vinaigrette for a summer salad favorite the guests will love.
In addition to the standard beverages (such as beer, soda, lemonade and tea), show your patriotism and spruce up plain water with a large, clear glass pitcher of ice water flavored with bright red watermelon slices and blueberries. Alternatively, consider making ice cube trays with small chunks of colorful fresh fruits.
For more ideas for a fun and healthy holiday, check out these five easy July Fourth tips!

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade. When Life Gives You Cancer…
Maayan Cohen
CEO, Hello Doctor
4 years ago, my former boyfriend started having bad headaches. They usually started around the evening time, until one day he woke up with a headache — that's when I knew that something was seriously wrong. I dragged him to the emergency room and 3 hours later, the sky fell on us. A scan revealed he had a brain tumor and he had to undergo immediate surgery. That morning marked the beginning of 2 excruciating years of fighting cancer that included surgeries, chemotherapy, lab tests, radiations, second opinions and countless visits to doctors who are part of disparate medical networks whose technology systems don't talk with each other.
The worst part was trying to find the right medical document at the right time
Each doctor we saw gave us a net of about 10 minutes face time. Beyond the uncertainty and fear, the worst part of these meetings was trying to explain his medical condition by pulling out the relevant Medical Records that the doctor wanted to see out of my "medical binder". I knew that if I could not find the right document at the right time it would affect his treatment and in this case — it can even cost us his life.
This story has a couple of happy endings. First, my former boyfriend went into permanent remission, he is doing great today and we are still good friends. The second is Hello Doctor. The frustrations of my experience with the healthcare system inspired me to quit my job and start Hello Doctor, which is intended to help millions of people who are dealing with the same frustration that I had to deal with. Today, Hello Doctor's team has 6 members — all went through a similar experience with different medical conditions — bowel disease, breast cancer, ALS and pregnancy monitoring. We have all been there, and we decided to devote our career to helping people feel less confused and more in control when talking to their doctors.
Hello Doctor helps people manage and understand their medical records
Hello Doctor is a free mobile app that empowers people to control their health. We started with an iOS app that helps people to manage and understand their medical records.
It allows you to easily aggregate all of your medical records (paper or digital) on your tablet or mobile phone and get to any one of them in literally just 2 taps. It allows you to share your medical records with your doctor and add comments on the medical records themselves - so that you won't forget what bothered you and resolve it in time. It's that simple and it's that useful, especially in real time - when you are facing your doctor.
Making a difference, helping people
A few weeks ago we found out that we are already helping people. Ilene, a 60 year old cancer survivor sent us an amazing thank you letter. "A simple flu shot meant that I have to take my 2 medical binders with me to the doctor as he doesn't have access to all of my records. Your app is invaluable". This is exactly what we dreamed of when we started this project and we need your help in spreading the word about Hello Doctor. You can start by downloading and trying it yourself — take control over your health now. Manage your medical records with Hello Doctor.

Originally written April 29, 2013 on Bronx Pinstripes:
Kevin Youkilis will undergo an MRI today with hopes of determining what the next course of action will be regarding his stiff back, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York. Youkilis returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing six games, but did not play yesterday. Youkilis, 34, is in his first season with the Yankees after signing as a free agent, and is currently hitting .266 with two homers and seven RBIs. Jayson Nix has been filling in at third, but this limits Joe Girardi's use of Lyle Overbay at first base against lefties; Youkilis has played five games at first already this season. Should Youkilis land on the DL, look for the Yankees to possibly call up another infielder to back up Nix. Youkilis is going for an MRI on Monday. — Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) April 28, 2013

Mel B confirmed as judge on 'America's Got Talent'
Daisy Wyatt
Daisy Wyatt currently oversees Arts + Entertainment for The Independent website
Thursday 21 February 2013
Could Mel B be to America what Nicole Scherzinger is to Britain?
The former Spice Girl has confirmed she will be replacing judge Sharon Osbourne on the next series of America's Got Talent.
Scary Spice has already breathed fire down contestants' necks as a judge on the Australian X Factor, and has featured as a guest judge in the last series of The X Factor in the UK.
It is the second time Simon Cowell has hired a Brit to serve on the judging panel of the American versions of his hit TV shows.
Cheryl Cole was made a judge on the American X Factor in 2011, but was fired swiftly after production company SiCo claimed that the Girls Aloud star was not "comfortable" on the show.
Mel B replaces Sharon Osbourne, who announced her departure from America's Got Talent in September after the seventh series' ratings ended on an all-time low, reports Deadline Hollywood.

Here it is: the last blog for 2012.
And what a year it's been: it's been full of great games and not so great games; it's been a year when I've contemplated ending the blog for good because of the time it takes to maintain while holding down a fulltime writing job (but I didn't because I just enjoy video games so much); but it was also a year when I celebrated five years of doing this blog. It's been a memorable year, for sure.
At the end of the day, a blog is nothing without its readers and I have a wonderful, passionate group of loyal readers, so I salute you. if it wasn't for you, dear readers, coming back day after day, week after week, month after month, this blog would be nothing.
Over the Christmas/New Year holidays, I'll be packing away the controllers and games players (perhaps not the Vita or DS: I'll take those away with me), and giving my fingers and thumbs a well-earned rest. It's time to recharge the batteries with things non-gaming-related. It's a much needed break from first-person viewpoints, on-screen HUDs and health bars.
But I've still got one or two game reviews to write up so I'm going to end 2012 with a writeup of Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation, a PS Vita game set in the Assassin's Creed universe and starring a new character: a female assassin called Aveline.
Set in Louisiana between 1765 and 1780, Liberation puts players in the petticoats of Aveline de Grandpre, an African/French assassin and the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana businessman and a slave mother. The game deals with the period just as the French rulers of New Orleans are ousted by Spanish conquerers.
From the outset Liberation plays like an Assassin's Creed game: Aveline can climb buildings, free-run along rooftops and assassinate foes but the tried-and-true has beeen tweaked a little. Aveline can change her outfits in dressing rooms, giving her different personas that can be used in different scenarios. Some missions require Aveline to be dressed in her finery so she can infiltrate a swanky party, while others require her to wear a slave outfit so she can blend in, unnoticed, with the New Orleans people. Like the building aspects of earlier Assassin's Creed games where you could buy shops around cities, Avenline can buy and rebuild dressing rooms dotted about the game world, meaning eventually she doesn't have to travel far when she needs to change clothes.
And while the scale of structures in Liberation isn't as impressive as in, say, Assassin's Creed 2, the bayou and swamps have some incredibly tall trees, which she can climb, opening up a bit more of the game map each time. Like in AC3, she can clamber through trees to reach locations.
Like previous AC games, too, foes and guards use line-of-sight awareness, meaning if they suspect something while they can see you their alertness will rise, but generally all it takes is ducking behind a corner or jumping into a cart full of hay to foil their curiosity. It doesn't work all the time, though, and sometimes guards will be relentless in their chase.
I found Liberation a lot more enjoyable than AC3 (though, for me, revolutionary America isn't as exciting to explore as Renaissance Italy): maybe it was the change of setting, maybe it was a new character. I don't know what it was but it was enjoyable for the most part, even though the story seemed quite disjointed and jumped about all over the place and some of the mini-games using the Vita's touch and tilt abilities seemed tacked on just for the sake of it (like having to swipe both the front and back touch screens horizontally to open a letter).
Liberation looks pretty damn good, too, but at times the frame rates really take a dive, especially when there's a lot of action on-screen or during a chase sequence. During one mission where Aveline was being chased by what seemed like every enemy in the area, it felt as if I was guiding her through a world made of treacle: she moved extremely slowly, as though her feet were dragging on the ground. Other times, she'll sprint across a map as if she has wings on her feet. Technically, Liberation swings from looking and playing great to dodgy textures and poor frame rates.
Liberation isn't perfect and it has small frustrations but I'm enjoying its diversion into the city of New Orleans.
So, that's it for 2012. Have a great Christmas, a wonderful New Year and I'll be back in the New Year. I promise.

On Our Radar: Celebrities Customize Fendi Baguette
by POPSUGAR Fashion 8 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I already ordained it Simply Fab, but I think the Fendi Paint-Your-Own Baguette Tote may have just gotten Fabber.
In celebration of the Fendi Baguette's 10th Anniversary, the Italian fashion house asked big names like Scarlett Johansson, Kim Cattrall, Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, and Project Runway Season 4 contestant Chris March to each customize their own Fendi Baguette.
The products — Marchesa's has black and white hand-embroidered feathers on it — will be sold for $2,500 each on eLuxury.com starting April 17, and the proceeds will be donated to the designer's selected charities.

I think this is a neat idea. Everyone wants something from celebrities--heck, they'd buy trash on ebay from celebrities. This way, some charities get to benefit from Hollywood mania.
shernic82 6 years
I think these are stupid, but I can see the appeal of some people wanting to buy ones that were designed by celebs. However for $2,500, you have to have more money than sense.
