Embattled handheld console manufacturer Gizmondo Europe has filed an application to go into administration with the UK High Court, with the firm seeking protection from its creditors while it restructures the business.
The company will go before the High Court to have its application heard on January 31st, and in the interim, is granted automatic protection from any enforcement actions by its creditors.
According to parent company Tiger Telematics, which informed the Securities and Exchange Commission of the administration application, the company has laid off staff totalling 50 per cent of its payroll as the first step in its plans to reduce operating expenses.
A $5 million "bridge loan" has also been granted to the company to help to restructure its debts - which include a $21 million debt owed to two of the firm's shareholders, which is due to be paid back at the end of March if at least $75 million of new funding is not secured by then.
Tiger Telematics' statement claims that the operations of the parent company and of Gizmondo USA are unaffected by the administration filing of Gizmondo Europe, but does reveal that the company's Swedish subsidiary and Gizmondo Studios are both likely to file for administrative protection in the coming days. ...by Published on January 23rd, 2006 18:02

Electronic Arts has confirmed that its movie licensed gangster romp, The Godfather, will not be appearing on PSP or Microsoft's next-generation Xbox 360 console when the game hits retail stores in March.
Already the subject of various development delays, The Godfather was originally scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2005, during the industry's busiest sales period as consumers prepare for Christmas. The initial change in release dates, pushing the title to March 2006, prompted analysts to lower their estimates for the company's full-year performance.
Development on current generation platforms, including PC, PS2 and Xbox is almost complete for the Mature-rated title, and the game is on schedule for a simultaneous multi-format release in March.
Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz this morning, an EA representative confirmed the release of current generation versions is definitely on track, adding that a release date for the PSP and Xbox 360 versions has yet to be officially announced, effectively denying rumours of additional development delays.
At the time of writing, EA would only confirm that the next-gen and PSP versions will be released at some stage during the company's 2007 fiscal period, which begins 1st April 2006 ...by Published on January 23rd, 2006 17:59
What, you have zero reason to act surprised that Tiger Telematics, creator of the Gizmondo and Smart Adds, is filing for bankruptcy in the UK, their country of origin. We've been following these guys since day one and we're pretty sure there wasn't anyone who didn't see their collapse as absolutely eventual; the filing -- submitted last Friday -- surfaced today in apparent explanation to the SEC of what happens to their US operations. It looks like they'll be seeking Chapter-11-like financial protection for now as they restructure their UK operations, and they're expected to cut 50% of their monthly staffing expenditures (which we're, knowing these guys, will start from the bottom up) -- but it'll be biz as usual elsewhere. So, what's Tiger's next step with one foot planted firmly in the grave? ...by Published on January 23rd, 2006 17:56

Matthias Graffe has released a new app for V2.60 PSPs only, heres the details:
First download, install and configure Hfs with this how: to: http://psp.servegame.com
Now share your MP3 Dir and use this path in the MP3 RSS Feeder.
Create a RSS Folder and share it with Hfs and use the path in the MP3 RSS Feeder. For later use, you can also edit the index.html, and use the folder as link for the RSS Music Button, then a simple click on the Button is enough to reach the RSS Folder, for adding new items.
I hope you have Folders with Artistname 1, Artistname 2, Artistname 3, ... in your Shared MP3 Folder, then you can use the "Use Subfolders" Method - means setting the RSS Filename, -Title and Discr auto by Subfolder Name (only works on the first level of the Shared Music Folder).
Choose a MP3 Folder to seed (MP3 Folder 2 feed) and seed it, now you can just enter your PSPortal and open your RSS Files.
Have Fun streaming your whole MP3 Archive local or over the Internet ;-)
Use path.dat.org without .org if MP3 RSS Feeder crashs at start because of wrong loaded path.
