    Gaming the Recession [view article]
    I don't think you should shrug off TV as an non-effective entertainment option. Granted, there are a lot of bad shows out there, but there are also many good ones. In fact, I think I enjoy watching an NFL game on TV vs. going to one in person. No ticket necessary, no traffic, no crowds, no lines, no overpriced beer/food, and always indoors.

    Otherwise I enjoyed the article. Video gaming is still one of the cheapest recession-resistant forms of entertainment out there.

    You mention only one trip needed to buy your video game. Not even necessarily that much with ordering online via any number of resources such as Gamestop, EBAY, BBY, etc. GME also an excellent play here since they sell everything VG related so all of your bases are covered. Not to mention the used business which is great in hard times to trade in or buy less expensive used games. Reply

    Bernanke speech today"

    ".......Important... a well-designed supervisory regime complements rather than supplants market discipline. Indeed, regulation can serve to strengthen market discipline, for example, by mandating a transparent disclosure regime for financial firms."

    www.federalreserve.gov...

    Could Bernanke's speech today be the catalyst for a "game changer", i.e. a big plus for CME?

    RE: General Dynamics, see

    The real story is that GD has $2.7B cash on hand. As per last quarter results, profits are up 25%. Current acquisition is a hedge against any reversal in the strong Gulfstream sales that is now entering its sixth year.

    This is a logical move; providing services to all the aircraft GD sold over the past years. Also, enables GD to establish contact with owners of competitors aircraft. Crafty indeed!

    Are you missing the story of the day? Appears that the roll over in equities has started for the autumn season, and that inflation will drive gold and silver to new highs. Dare we think that the US dollar is about to turn again? I think so since the Fed can not fight inflation with ending the chances of just a "slow down". The great story is the Silence of the Fed in the face of clear commodity driven inflation. They are powerless, or they have lost control!! Reply

    Inside NPD's July '08 Gaming Report [view article]
    PC as a platform is transitioning from transaction based gaming to subscription and micro-transaction based gaming, with ARPU per game shrinking significantly.

    Transaction based PC game sales are declining rapidly compare to their console counterparts.

    Why is it not mentioned here that the NPD report also states that PC's are still used for gaming more than any console? That's a pretty significant piece of information, no?
    Why the obsession solely with consoles? More can be done with a PC than with any console, PC's can be reconfigured much more easily and more often than any console and the range of game subjects and gameplay types is more varied for PC's than for any console. For some reason PC's are apparently seen as yesterday's tech. Yet by almost any measure available, PC's represent the most flexible of the lot... It's very strange to me.

    Report from Inside Electronic Arts' Shareholders Meeting [view article]
    I don't understand why people keep saying that TTWO has ONLY one franchise... Their sport titles are on average better than EA's and have recently released very successful titles (Bioshock, for instance). True, none of these is as popular as GTA, but which other gaming IP is?

    As I live in SE Asia I think I should do some clarification regarding Thailand. The local government has nothing to do with this story. It was simply a decision by the local distributor to withdraw the game. What happened was that an obviously insane teenager killed a taxi driver to see whether it was as easy as in the game. He will likely be sentenced to death. A very sad story but I guessed such a person would have killed someone anyway soon or later.
