o Sony Cuts Price of PlayStation 2 to $129

Foster City, Calif. - Sony Computer Entertainment America announced on Thursday that it has discounted the price of its PlayStation 2 video game console from $149 to $129, effective today. The move from Sony was largely expected, as the company begins to gear up for the release of the PlayStation 3 in November. To date, more than 101 million PlayStation 2 units and approximately one billion games for the console have shipped worldwide. Sony's console also continues to lead Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube, accounting for 55.6% of the U.S. market, according to NPD Group. Sony intends to promote the new pricing with a variety of print, online and in-store advertising.

o Porn Producer Vivid to Sell Burn-to-DVD Downloads on CinemaNow

Los Angeles - Adult entertainment firm Vivid Entertainment announced that it plans next week to begin selling downloadable movies that can be burned onto DVD through CinemaNow, a video-on-demand site owned by Canadian film studio Lionsgate. Marina del Rey, Calif.-based CinemaNow, which offers downloadable movies without the DVD option from all the major studios, already offers some adult titles on its service. The 30 Vivid titles offered will cost about the same as a DVD ($19.95) and come with all special features and cover art. The company that developed the technology that allows just one DVD to be created from each downloaded movie, All Adult Channel, is also owned and operated by CinemaNow. "In a perfect world, it is a technology that could be accepted by traditional content providers," CinemaNow CEO Curt Marvis told the Los Angeles Times. "They might be a bit slower to adopt it because they always are."

o Philips: Patent Will Not Lead to Forced TV Commercial Viewing

New York - Responding to reports that technology it invented could prevent TV viewers from skipping through commercials when watching recorded TV shows, or changing the channel during commercials in live broadcasts, consumer electronics firm Philips released a statement Thursday denying the claims. "Philips never had the intention to force viewers to watch ads against their will and does not use this technology in any current Philips products, nor do we have any plans to do so," the company said. "We developed a system where the viewer can choose, at the beginning of a movie, to either watch the movie without ads, or watch the movie with ads. It is up to the viewer to take this decision, and up to the broadcaster to offer the various services." However, the patent application states that the invention "prevents a viewer of a direct (nonrecorded) broadcast from switching channels when an advertisement is displayed and prevents a viewer of a recorded program from fast-forwarding the recorded program in order to skip past advertisements that were recorded with the program. A viewer may either watch the advertisements or pay a fee in order to be able to change channels or fast-forward when the advertisements are being displayed."

o Report: Wireless Laptops Still Bigger Than Internet Cell Phones in U.S.

New York - Despite the fact that accessing the Internet via a mobile phone is now more popular than laptops with Wi-Fi in many countries, mobile phone Internet usage is actually flattening in markets such as the U.S. and Canada, according to a study from market research firm Ipsos Insight. Four in ten Japanese browsed the Internet via mobile phones in 2005 -- double the number that did in 2003 -- compared with 26% in the U.S. Mobile phones are now also present in over 90% of the households in Japan, South Korea and China, while mobile penetration in U.S. households stands at 75%. Worldwide, 28% of mobile phone owners used their phones to access the Internet in 2005, up from 25% at the end of 2004; Ipsos attributed this growth to users ages 35 and up. "Accessing the Internet on a wireless handheld device is no longer a novelty for consumers in the major global economies," said Ipsos senior vice president Brian Cruikshank. "It's becoming a common, everyday occurrence for many people."

o Google, Sony Pictures Team on Da Vinci Code Movie Promotion

Mountain View, Calif. - Google has partnered with Sony Pictures Entertainment to promote the studio's upcoming "The Da Vinci Code" movie through an interactive online game. To play, users in the U.S., U.K. and Australia must register and have a Google Gmail account and Google Homepage; one new time-based puzzle will then be added to all players' Homepages each day through May 11. Ten-thousand finalists who correctly answer all 24 puzzles will then receive a "cryptex" -- styled after those featured in the Dan Brown novel -- that they must use to solve another several puzzles. The winner and three guests will get first-class trips to Paris, London, Rome and New York, in addition to a selection of Sony consumer electronics products. Google spokeswoman Eileen Rodriguez told CNET News.com that this was the first time the company has ever teamed with a movie studio on such a promotion.

o Mobile Streams Acquires Cyoshi Mobile for $3.7 Million

London - Mobile Streams, a developer of mobile content delivery technology and publisher of mobile entertainment, announced on Thursday that it has acquired Hannover, Germany-based wireless entertainment firm Cyoshi Mobile for $3.7 million. Cyoshi has distributed mobile TV short-form animation such as "Happy Tree Friends" and "Suicidal Squirrels," as well as mobile Bible passages, in Europe through Vodafone, T-Mobile and Hutchison 3G. London-based Mobile Streams distributes ringtones, graphics, video clips and other content using its own Vuesia platform, which will now also be utilized by Cyoshi. "This complementary acquisition accelerates our strategy in several important ways -- it extends our operator distribution footprint from the U.K. across both continental and Eastern Europe while also accelerating our content strategy by adding compelling licensed content," said Mobile Streams CEO Simon Buckingham.
