THQ executive Brian Farell told the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference yesterday that platform holders need to allow new pricing models to come to the fore, letting consumers pay a low initial price point in the hope of a bigger microtransaction investment.
Farrell was speaking about a new approach to boxed-product pricing which THQ is proselytising to consumers and platform holders alike. Beginning with the next instalment of the popular off-road racing series MX vs. ATV, THQ want to start selling smaller games for $29-$39 instead of $60, and then sell customers large amounts of DLC afterwards.
"What we really need, and we've been talking to them about it, is for Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo - if they really want to stay at the cutting edge of the games industry - they need to adjust their business models to allow for these new consumer experiences. Consumers are going to demand it, in our view,"CVG reports Farrell as saying.
"Again, we're platform agnostic: if someone else comes with some kind of a Cloud system or one of the other platforms takes off competitively that allows consumers to consume the way they want?
"That's going to be the winner at the end of the day, and that's where we're going to migrate our content. We'll make great franchises. If new platforms emerge, or the current winners adjust their business models - which we're pushing for really hard - we have to keep our flexibility."
Of particular focus to Farrell's comments was Microsoft, who do not allow publishers to choose an exact price point for DLC and virtual items, instead stipulating one of a certain number of bands. Allowing a company such as THQ complete control over that price point would give them far greater control over what it was offering.

News/release from prox
Hi everybody,
today I wanna show you my new Homebrew called How.
First of all, many thanks to Mike Inel who has made the graphics and is accountable for the game idea.
also to Daniel James (hybridtwo.com) who is responsible for this epic melody.
In how you become an young girl that is living in a grey, lifeless world, where are only these black orbs and the well. You must take the orbs and let they fall into the well to earn points, but these must be in the timeline!

Coldbird posted this on his blog:
Dear followers, sorry for the lack of updates on here, I will try to keep this page a lot more updated in the future.
As for the Updates. There are quite a few, not exactly that new but still.
6.35 PRO evolved, you all noticed, from a simple HEN to a CFW with a PXE, ISO Support, PSN Support, and several other tiny goodies like CPU overclocking, Plugin Support, etc.

The genesis competition started a few days ago, and entries are starting to come in. We’re getting impressive stuff. This plugin by Draan allows you to change the text of your XMB on the fly. There are many ways to use this plugin for customizing your XMB, but the main intended goal is to allow you to translate your XMB into a language that the PSP does not support by default. (For those who want to know, there are around 6800 languages in the world, and a PSP on OFW supports 12 languages, that is, less than 0.2% of the total…)
A major good point of this plugin is that it doesn’t require any specific theme, or rco manipulation. It is also theoretically compatible with any theme. It is very easy to use and I was able to get my PSP 1000 to display a polish XMB within a couple minutes.
As an example, Draan provides a Polish translation of the XMB (translation courtesy of krzychuuu and Erokesha) that you can play with. I’m sure some of you will start to add more languages to this awesome homebrew… or maybe just start to have fun and replace bits of your XMB here and there.

Here is a new contestant for the Genesis Competition, a plugin manager for Homebrew Enablers (compatible with TN Hen and Hen Pro) by 5h4d0w, which is very useful (especially if you’re lost with the plugins system on some recent Homebrew enablers). To quote the author himself:
Features
Works on 6.20 TN (?) and 6.35 PRO (which don’t have recovery menus)
You can enable and disable plugins without a computer.
Can add, edit, remove, toggle, and move plugins in all three .txt files.
You can revert your changes by pressing [SELECT].
Gives the option to auto-exit from the app once you save your changes.
Allows you to decide which options are available (by editing the config).
(example: you give a friend your PSP for a while but don’t want him messing with your plugins, so you disable what you don’t want him to do.)
Nice pop-up menu.
Can be “themed” (by editing the config).
Will strip-out any empty lines in your text files, making them look cleaner.

To celebrate the upcoming Ridge Racer 3D on 3DS and Ridge Racer Unbounded on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, Namco Bandai is digging into its catalog and giving a classic Ridge Racera second lap around the track. Ridge Racer Type 4, originally released in North America in 1999, will be available on the PlayStation Store next month, playable on both PSP and PS3.
Unfortunately for those of you who want the true Ridge Racer Type 4 experience, neither the PS3 nor PSP will allow you to connect your JogCon controller. You won't be able to have the realistic feeling of driving a car using a small dial.

What's on the PlayStation Store today?
A Killzone 3 demo playable in 3D, a MotoGP demo, Dragon's Lair and the original Final Fantasy (PSP).

There's a Fitness Pack for Move game The Fight so you can literally punch the calories out of yourself, plus a new game called Test Yourself: Psychology, which sounds like the sort of thing you probably should do.
