o Sony to Launch $249 PSP Handheld Video Game in U.S. on March 24

Foster City, Calif. -- The anticipated Sony PSP handheld game system will go on sale in the U.S. on March 24 for $249, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced on Thursday. The company will offer a slate of 24 launch titles, priced starting at $39, including "Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix," "Metal Gear Acid," "Dynasty Warriors," "Need for Speed Rivals," and a number of sports titles from both Sony and Electronic Arts. Sony's PSP Value Pack will include a 32MB Memory Stick Duo, headphones, a sampler disc containing movies, music and video games on its proprietary 1.8GB Universal Media Disc (UMD) format, and, for the first one million shipments, a UMD video disc featuring the Sony Pictures film, "Spider-Man 2." Sony said it will manufacture one million PSPs for sale in North America by March 31, adding that it has already shipped more than units to Japan, where the PSP went on sale Dec. 12, and saw an initial 200,000 unit allocation sell out on day one. Sony plans to ship a total of 3 million PSPs worldwide by the end of March.

o D.C. Mayor Backs Ban on Sale of Violent Video Games to Minors

Washington -- The mayor of Washington, D.C. and a majority of D.C. Council members want to ban the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to minors in the District, The Washington Post reported on Thursday. A group of 12 council members, led by Adrian M. Fenty, intend to introduce legislation that would impose fines of up to $10,000 and threaten the loss of business licenses to retailers who violate the ban. "They are unbelievably misogynistic and geared toward making whoever is playing perpetuate the worst parts of our society," Fenty told The Post. Similar bans on the sale of mature games to minors in St. Louis, Indianapolis and Washington state have been defeated in the courts, while additional bans have been proposed in both Illinois and Michigan. "We oppose any government enacted restrictions on content as unconstitutional restraints on creative and artistic expression. Further, Federal Court rulings already struck down limitations like what Councilman Fenty introduced and the same fate awaits his proposal," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, a video game industry trade group.

o Napster Offers Unlimited Transfers to Portable Players for $15 per Month

Los Angeles -- Napster on Thursday announced the launch of a digital music rental service that will let users transfer an unlimited amount of songs to their portable music players for $14.95 per month. The Napster To Go service utilizes Microsoft's "Janus" copy-protection technology for portable devices, and will only allow users access to portable songs while they remain subscribed to the service. The main drawback is that the service will not function with Apple's iPod, which currently commands 65% of the portable player market. The launch will be accompanied by a $30 million ad campaign, including Super Bowl spots, that will tout "Works with Napster To Go" alliances with device makers Creative, Dell and iriver. Consumers who purchase new digital music players from these makers will receive a free one-month Napster To Go trial subscription.

o Hollywood Entertainment CEO Quits Amid Bidding War for Company

Portland, Ore. -- Hollywood Entertainment, which owns the Hollywood Video chain of movie rental stores, announced on Thursday the resignation of chairman and CEO Mark Wattles, amid a bidding war for the company between rivals Blockbuster and Movie Gallery. Hollywood appointed company president F. Bruce Giesbrecht to the additional role of CEO, but did not name a new chairman of the board. Separately, Blockbuster announced that it has upped its bid from an initial offer of $11.50 per share for Hollywood, adding $3 in Blockbuster shares for a total bid of $14.50 per share, or $991.6 million. Alabama-based Movie Gallery, the nation's third-largest video rental chain, has also bid $13.25 per share for Hollywood, and said on Thursday that it remains confident that its offer has a better chance of passing antitrust muster than does Blockbuster's bid. Hollywood said it is still considering Blockbuster's bid, and advised shareholders not to act until it issues an opinion on the best course of action, expected to come on or before Feb. 17.

o 'Net Audience Measurement Firm comScore Networks Acquires SurveySite

Reston, Va. -- Looking to further expand its customer research offerings to marketers, comScore Networks, a provider of Internet audience measurement services, said on Thursday that it has acquired Toronto-based SurveySite, a provider of market research conducted over the Internet. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. SurveySite will operate as a division of comScore under the name comScore SurveySite; Jeff Hohner, the president of SurveySite, will assume the role of president of the division. Magid Abraham, the president and CEO of comScore, said that the deal will "further accelerate comScore's rapid growth in custom research that addresses business issues across all marketing channels." SurveySite has experience across a range of industries, and has a client list that includes such formidable names as Microsoft, Dell, Target and Procter & Gamble. ComScore said that Internet-based research can be conducted faster and more efficiently than traditional methods, such as the telephone or direct mail.

o Electronic Arts Completes Purchase of 20% Stake in Rival Ubisoft

Redwood City, Calif. -- Video game publisher Electronic Arts announced on Thursday that it has completed its previously announced purchase of 3.5 million shares of French publisher Ubisoft, for a price of about $89 million. Ubisoft executives had previously said it had held no talks with Electronic Arts, and considered the purchase of a 20% stake as "hostile."

EA Tiburon developed the game, which will ship to retailers on Feb. 15.

o Online Gambling in U.K. Increases by 566%, Report Says

London -- According to a new study by 888.com, a U.K.-based online casino, the total number of people gambling over the Internet in the U.K. has increased by more than six times over the last 12 months. The survey of more than 2,700 people found a remarkable 566% increase in the amount of money staked online since the end of 2003. The study also found that about 20% of U.K. women visit an online casino or betting websites more than once a year, a massive increase compared to the 4% registered in the early 1990s. Earlier this week, 888.com announced that its international membership had increased from 2.7 million in 2002 to more than 13 million as of this week. Many analysts are expecting the company, owned by Gibraltar-based Cassava Enterprises, to become the next online casino to list on the London Stock Exchange.
