Sounds absolutely awesome! I think this is a really clever idea from the guys over at Webafrica, and it was extremely smart to link it to OC! Smart bunch of marketing guys. I wish I could go, but I am in Plett still! This reminds me of some Xtreme Sports!
AMD Reorganizes
AMD
I picked this up from engadget the other day, and found it quite interesting. I thought that they had already done this, but obviously not. I wonder how it will impact things, and if it will allow AMD to kick on and try and take the market by storm.
“It looks like the final step in AMD totally subsuming ATI has been taken. The company announced a reorganization around four specific pillars: products, future techology, marketing, and customer relations. The restructuring also marks the end of Randy Allen’s tenure, as the SVP of the Computing Solutions Group has decided to leave for unspecified reasons. ATI holdover Rick Bergman, who had also be head of the subsidiary known internally as the Graphics Product Group, will head up the products division with the goal of unifying the GPU and CPU teams (not necessarily the products). We highly doubt this means ATI branding is going anywhere — it’s far too valuable for AMD.”
The Beatles: Rock Band
So Rock band and Guitar Hero are really taking the world be storm, and in these tough economic times, another title is being pushed out to maximize the green.
The Beatles: Rock Band
The game is set to be released on 09.09.09, and EA have finally dropped some details regarding the game. The game will include the usual microphone and stand, but this time there is some added bonus content. Ooo. The real ‘kicker’ is “a Beatles-inspired and Ludwig-branded Rock Band 2 drums, complete with a classic pearl finish and vintage replica Beatles kick drum head.” Excuse the pun, but that actually caught my attention with me being a drummer myself. Funnily enough, I have never played on one of the Rock Bands. Any one know if there is a big difference or if they are any good?
Anyway, those in the US will have to pay $249, Europeans paying €199 and Britons paying £179. If you pre-order the game, and are in North America or Europe, then you will accepted into a special club which will “receive breaking news and access to exclusive game elements including art and behind-the-scenes footage directly from MTV Games and Harmonix.”
Will this version continue to be such a success or are they starting to milk the franchise dry? Only time will tell.
