"For nearly 20 years Sony in Japan has been plagued by the myth of the "Sony Timer" – but is there really a kill-switch that destroys your device just after its warranty runs out? Many Japanese genuinely believe that there is."
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.

Amazon's Spring Sale axes price of the Meta Quest 2 to its lowest ever, making it the perfect time to dive into the world of VR Gaming.
Yeah, this is a fire sale. I wouldn't recommend a Meta Quest 2. I already know several people who bought one and they are not using it anymore. They all complained about the low resolution blurry graphics. This headset only serves to turn people away from buying another one.
Kind of like the 360's kill switch... The "ON" button.
Looks like noone gonna approve this one :(
Apparently I offended alot PS3 users (got alot of reports on it)
Just saw it at Engadget and thought it could be interesting, since alot us own sony devices (I own 4 sony gaming devices: Ps2,PS, PSP Go, PSX and a Sony TV) :I
The reports claim I took a PS3 picture to offend, but I didnt!
I just took the picture from the article and Engadget.com...
EDIT: Anyway changed categories and picture to please fanboys... Hope I did'nt offend anyone and that it can be approved now...
And to all the reports: I mean come on? Reporting "fake" on this one? Its actually a good and interesting article.
I used to think that about the PS2 phat back when mine broke. It stopped reading discs exactly one year to the day after purchase, and at least 20 other people I knew with original PS2's had theirs end up the same way, all around the one year mark.
That was one of the reasons why I waited 2 years to get a PS3, which also broke 3 days shy of the one year mark due to YLOD.
/tin foil hat
I bought my 60 gig (now 250 gig) PS3 used nearly 3 years ago, use it quite heavily and haven't had any problems at all. I think it all comes down to common sense and taking care of your electronics.
My 60 gig broke, but that is the exception rather then the rule.
(Oddly enough my PS2 and PS1 still work like the day I bought them, and I was a early adopter.)
