Sony CEO Confirms Limited $499 PS3 Stock
If you were confused about yesterday’s stock announcement, you wouldn’t be the only one. Thankfully Kaz Harai, SCEI CEO, has clarified the situation: the $499 60GB PlayStation 3 is a limited offering. They’ll only be selling it here in the states until their current stock of the system is cleared out, at which point the only SKU remaining in the states will be the $599 80GB + Motorstorm bundle. The catch is that there is probably enough stock in hand for several months of sales at this price; hence the confusion yesterday about a ‘fire sale’. Hirai confirmed this to a Norwegian videogame news site, and the video of the interview is available online. For some perspective, Next Generation has a commentary piece on this strange matter. “Now Sony looks as though it’s been spinning consumers. The smart thing to have done would have been to come out and say that the 60Gig version is being discounted and discontinued, and that the bells-n-whistles PS3 at $599 is better value than ever. That didn’t happen, and what many have seen as a pretty successful E3 for Sony has been marred by confusion over the future of the platform’s strategy. So in those meetings next week, Sony will have cause to look back and consider how things might have been done better.”Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Are Marketers Abandoning Second Life?
Vary writes “The LA Times is running a story today saying that marketers are pulling out of Second Life, primarily because — surprise, surprise — the ‘more than 8 million residents’ figure on the game’s Web site is grossly inflated. Also, as it turns out, the virtual world’s regular visitors — at most 40,000 of them online at any time — are not only disinterested in in-world marketing, but actively hostile to it, staging attacks on corporate presences such as the Reebok and American Apparel stores. The companies aren’t giving up on virtual worlds altogether, though, but moving on to games like There, Gaia Online and Entropia Universe. The article also contains some commentary from a marketing executive who conducted an informal survey of the game and discovered that ‘One of the most frequently purchased items in Second Life is genitalia.’ What company wouldn’t want to be in on that action?”Read more of this story at Slashdot.
