o Report: November U.S. Game Sales
Down 18%; 325,902 Xbox 360s Sold
New York - U.S. video game sales were down 18% in November
compared with a year ago, despite the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360
game console during the month, according to data from market
research firm NPD Group. The reissued figures from NPD -- which
previously had estimated just a 4% drop -- indicated that there will
also likely be a decline in game sales for the overall fourth
quarter. NPD also reported that 325,902 Xbox 360 consoles were sold
during November in the U.S., where retailers remain short on supply;
the device went on sale Nov. 22. Overall, the top-selling games
during November were "Star Wars Battlefront II" and "Madden NFL 06,"
while the top-selling Xbox 360 game was by far Activision's "Call of
Duty 2". A total of 1.27 million games for the Xbox 360 were sold
during November, or 3.9 per console, as compared with the 2.4 games
per console sold during the launch of the original Xbox.

o
High-Definition Alliance to Work Towards Device Compatibility
New York - A group of companies representing the cable TV,
consumer electronics, technology and entertainment industries on
Wednesday announced the formation of the High-Definition Audio-Video
Network Alliance (HANA), which aims to create "a design guideline
for secure high definition audio visual networks that will speed the
creation of new, higher quality, easier to use HD products."
Founding members include cable TV firm Charter Communications, JVC,
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, NBC Universal, Samsung and
Sun Microsystems; contributing members include chipmakers ARM and
Freescale Semiconductor. Some of the alliance's goals are to enable
consumers to view and record five or more HD channels
simultaneously; achieve home networking with a single set-top box;
provide control of all devices with a single remote per room; secure
content transfers between PCs and consumer electronics devices; and
provide a single cable for home network connections. HANA will
indirectly compete with a similar alliance formed by Intel,
Microsoft and Sony called the Digital Living Room Alliance, which is
working to incorporate Intel's Viiv technology into a range of
devices. HANA said it will collaborate with other groups, such as
the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), CableLabs, the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Advanced Television
Systems Committee (ATSC) and the 1394 Trade Association to achieve
its goals. HANA will also work in the first half of next year with
Advanced Access Content System (AACS), Open Media Commons and other
digital rights management technologies, to enable content sharing
across devices. The alliance expects the first HANA-compliant
devices to debut at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show.

o EU
Proposal Would Allow Product Placement in TV Shows
Strasbourg, France - The European Commission has proposed
new rules to govern the distribution of "moving images" in the
European Union, which for the first time may allow the practice --
common in America -- of including product placement in TV shows,
Reuters reported. The use of product placement is growing in the
U.S., alongside the growing popularity of digital video recorders
that let viewers skip past TV commercials. But the practice has been
banned in many EU nations, where current rules also limit the amount
of TV advertising to 12 minutes per hour. The new rules would also
bring video delivered over the Internet under the auspices of the
Commission. "It would be a distortion of competition if we were to
just regulate one and not all," EU Information Commissioner Viviane
Reding told reporters. The new "television without frontiers"
proposals still must gain approval of the European Parliament and EU
member states.

o Cingular
Installs Filters to Enable Blocking of Mobile Phone Pornography
New York - Mobile network operator Cingular has quietly
incorporated filtering devices and password-enabled blockers on its
network, to prevent minors from buying pornography on their cell
phones, USA Today reported. "We feel parents should decide what
(kids) access. We're giving them the ability to control what they
experience," Cingular's Mark Siegel told USA Today. The move follows
the release of a mobile content ratings system from the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), a U.S. wireless
industry trade group. Cingular did not announce plans to offer
pornography directly to subscribers through a mobile adult content
service, but the filters will help prevent mobile porn from
providers including Xobile, Brickhouse Mobile and RJ Mobile from
being accessible on minors' cell phones.

o After
Exploring Digital Self-Promotion, Prince Signs to Universal Music
Los Angeles - Prince, the recording artist who parted ways
with the traditional record industry in the 1990's and instead used
his website to promote and distribute his music, on Wednesday
announced that he has signed a one-record deal with Universal Music
Group, Reuters reported. The artist said that he developed his own
"handshake deal" without the aid of a lawyer. "I did my own
agreement without the help of a lawyer and sat down and got exactly
what I wanted," Prince told a press conference, adding that some
things were set in writing "to ensure that business gets
accomplished." The artist's last album was distributed by Sony
Music's Columbia Records, but fans could also go online and pay to
join his fan club, which ensured priority seating at concerts,
access to soundchecks, exclusive videos, songs and other benefits.

o Micro Hard
Drive Maker Cornice Raises $97 Million in Debt, Equity
Longmont, Colo. - Cornice, a developer of miniature hard
drives used in consumer electronics devices, announced on Wednesday
that it has raised $97 million in debt and equity financing.
Canada's Caisse led the equity investment; previous investors
VantagePoint Venture Partners, BlueRun Ventures and BA Venture
Partners also participated. Simultaneously, the company entered a
new lending agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, which
provided Cornice with debt capital. Coloradio-based Cornice develops
1-inch hard drives used in portable digital music players from
Thomson/RCA and Rio, as well as in cell phones and personal storage
devices. The new funds will be used to support development and
manufacturing initiatives for the company's micro hard drives, as
well as to expand marketing and sales efforts.

o MusicGremlin to
Debut Direct-to-Device Digital Music Service at CES
New York - MusicGremlin, the developer of a digital music
service that enables downloads directly to portable devices over a
Wi-Fi connection, announced on Wednesday that it plans to introduce
the service at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next
month. The company will debut a portable digital audio player that
is enabled for Wi-Fi, and comes with embedded service software that
provides access to a library of over two million songs. New
York-based MusicGremlin partnered with MusicNet to provide the
service's catalog, and will offer both an unlimited monthly
subscription service and the ability to purchase a la carte
downloads for permanent ownership. The devices will also be able to
connect with one another, allowing owners to browse each others'
collections, and download songs from one another if both are
subscribers. MusicGremlin's portable players are slated to go on
sale in the first quarter of 2006. The direct-to-device software
will also be offered to third-party MP3 player makers.

o Report: Brits
Download More Music than Anyone in Europe
London - According to a new report by Motorola, people in
the U.K. download more music than anyone else in Europe. The report
found that Brits spend, on average, about 75 pence ($1.32) per month
on music downloads, roughly three times the amount spent per capita
in Germany, Italy or France. "There is a strong feeling in Britain
that digital music, mobile phones, digital TV and the Internet
should be with us wherever we go," Motorola said. "Of the 1,000
people surveyed, almost half (48%) said having their communications
and entertainment services with them all the time would make it
easier to keep in touch with family, while 34% felt it would make
life simpler and 27% said it would make life more fun."

XcopyPod Software Promises DVD Movie Transfers to iPod
New York - Bling Software on Wednesday introduced XcopyPod, a

into a format ready for Apple's video iPod. The company also offers
software that lets users make back-up copies of DVDs and also
transfer DVDs into a format for the Sony PSP -- similar to products
offered by the now-defunct 321 Studios, which shut down after losing
copyright litigation. "Downloads are great for new releases. But
what about the movies people already have and own?" said Bling
Software director Lyn Bell. "Now there is a perfect and reliable
transfer/converting tool to make those movies portable for the iPod."
The company does not address whether its products run afoul of
copyright laws. The $19.99 XcopyPod program is available for
download from Bling Software's website and from major retailers.

video iPod, CNET News.com reported on Wednesday. A similar
application is being readied by TiVo for roll-out to its subscribers
some time next year, despite some complaints from content owners.
"In making this announcement, TiVo appears to be acting unilaterally
-- disregarding the established rights of content owners to
participate in decisions involving the distribution and exploitation
of their content," NBC said when TiVo announced the technology last
month. "This unilateral action creates the risk of legal conflict
instead of contributing to the constructive exploitation of digital
technology that can rapidly provide new and exciting experiences for
the consumer."

"Is Stern Worth His Millions?"
San Francisco - CNET News.com on Wednesday reported on the
potential impact that the addition of radio shock jock Howard
Stern's move to Sirius Satellite Radio -- which will happen in five
days -- will have on the company, and on satellite radio as an
industry. "We're not putting a number on it, but we do believe that
if he hasn't already paid for himself, then he has contributed a
tremendous amount of subscription growth over the last year," Sirius
spokesman Jim Collins told News.com, referring to the five-year,
$500 million contract Stern signed with Sirius. Analysts are divided
over whether Stern was a smart investment for Sirius, with several
commenting that it will bring a wealth of new subscribers. Others
disagree, like Banc of America Securities analyst Jonathan Jacoby,
who downgraded the company's stock to a "sell" rating, saying that
Stern's overstated influence has already overvalued Sirius.

Santa Monica, Calif. - A "machinima" film created within a video

Washington Post. "The French Democracy," a film created by French
designer Alex Chan using Activision and developer Lionhead Studios'
"The Movies" game, documents the political situation and recent
riots in France. "With The Movies we wanted to make a game that
allows anyone to easily express themselves by making a short film
and posting them online to share with the world," said Lionhead
Studios' Peter Molyneux. "Alex's film, which is absolutely terrific,
really demonstrates the potential power and impact that these films
can have."
