Ratchet Clank Size Matters PSP
Core Gamer Signs Transformers Licensing Agreement Core Gamer announced today it has signed a licensing agreement with Hasbro to produce specialty video game accessories based on the TRANSFORMERS brand and the live-action TRANSFORMERS feature film. Core Gamer Signs Licensing Agreement with Hasbro for TRANSFORMERS to roll out to all gaming platforms As Video Game Accessories Monterey Park, CA, May 23, 2007 Core Gamer Inc., the fastest growing manufacturer and marketer of video game accessories, announced today it has entered into a licensing agreement with HPG, the licensing division of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS), to produce specialty video game accessories based on the TRANSFORMERS brand and highly anticipated live-action TRANSFORMERS feature film due out July 4th from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Designed and developed by Core Gamer, the accessories will be developed for all major console platforms including XBOX360, PS2, Wii and handhelds DS and PSP.
For a while there, the PSP appeared to be in dire straits. But recently, all we've been hearing about is how much more popular Sony's portable has become. This here is more evidence of that, as Sony is reporting that since dropping the price of the little system by 20 in the UK (that was May 4), they've seen a 60% increase in sales. Amazing what a little price drop can do for you, isn't it? The basic pack currently sits at 130, and Play.com and Amazon are listing it for 10 less, so it's no real surprise to see an increase in sales. "The price realignment was about passing on manufacturing cost savings to customers. This new price point opens up a new wave of consumers to the PSP experience," said Sony's sales director Andrew Howsen, speaking to MCV. Some of the bigger games have already released for the PSP (Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Burnout Dominator, and Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters come to mind), and even more are on the way for 2007, so hopefully, sales will continue to increase. The Xbox 360 edition of one of the best games of last year is notable for a few reasons. One, it offers more songs from such acclaimed rock acts as Alice Cooper, My Chemical Romance and Deep Purple. Two, you can download more tunes via Xbox Live. Three, the guitar that comes with it is a white "Flying V." Add in the "achievement points" that allow you to boast about your prowess to your friends, and you've got enough add-ons to make this iteration feel superior to the PlayStation 2 version. Whether or not owners of the original game need this new port depends upon how manic a fan they might be. If you own a 360 and haven't checked this game out yet, though, you're missing out. "Singstar Pop," Sony, for the PlayStation 2, rated E10+ for ages 10 and up, $49.99 (with microphones) $29.99 (without).
