    Paramount Pictures has shot down reports that it is to follow Warner Bros. Entertainment and ditch the HD DVD format in favour of Blu-ray.

    It emerged at the weekend that Warner Bros. Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively on Blu-ray starting later this year.

    Perhaps a case of Chinese whispers, this was followed by news that Paramount Pictures is poised to follow suit. However, the company has denied this is on the cards.

    "Paramount's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format", a spokeswoman for Paramount said earlier today, reports Bloomberg.

    Just as well really. HD DVD would have been sent reeling from that double-whammy. ...

    It's only taken Sony three years to realise that it takes three years to type anything on PSP. So it's finally gone and unveiled a keyboard for the portable.

    Sony offered no pictures or descriptions as to what it will look like, but we expect it'll have lots of buttons with letters on them. But that's only a guess.

    Hopefully it'll be better than previous attempts by third parties to make a decent portable keyboard, which mostly turned out flimsy, cheap and awkward to use.

    "We're looking at several designs, but can't tell you anything more specific," a Sony rep told GameSpot. They must be looking at several thousand designs, because Sony says it won't be out until mid-2009.

    How long does it take to make a mini keyboard? ...

    Love playing N64 games on-the-go, but hate dealing with emulators on your laptop/PSP/etc.? This modder has just the solution: build a custom case, get an LCD screen off eBay, and stuff the internals of an old N64 along with a controller into it. Video after the break.

    Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS and GBA, heres whats new:



    Oh yeah, the source is also now available. I look forward to receving patches to port to other platforms.

    * Releasing a possessed creature on the otherside of a dimensional portal should no longer cause problems.
    * Releasing possession after your body has died but left a corpse will no longer leave you as some weird ghost. This also prevents you from picking up your own corpse and eating it, which has dire reprecussions.
    * Releasing possession after your body is a statue is likewise fixed (JCM)
    * If you polymorph and drop something on the ground due to lacking space and that item merges with an existing item, it no longer crashes.
    * New tridude rooms have a unique tridude to act as the leader to avoid infighting.
    * Zapping a wand of create trap outside of the map no longer crashes.
    * Rays bouncing off the map boundaries no longer risk crash.
    * You can read equipped scrolls, books, and zap equipped wands and drink equipped potions. No particular advantage is currently conferred by such, other than looking cool, but it seemed odd you had to unequip things to do this. (Bill Walker)
    * Starting inventory has been normalized and you start the game wearing your armour and weapon. Your bonus item may still be better, so you likely still want to look in your inventory at the start. This means no more starting the game with an evil -2 floppy had and dagger, but also no more starting with a +3 holy artifact warhammer. (David Damerell, Richard Quirk, Stu)
    * Dying while possessing a creature and being on a different level from your body will no longer corrupt the mob list of your old level.
    * Zapping a wand of teleport at yourself and dying after the teleport will no longer crash.
    * Zapping a wand of teleport at yourself will no longer teleport items on the square you teleport *to*, and instead teleport them from the square you teleport *from*.
    * Quit & Save will immediately put you at the main menu rather than letting you spy on the local dungeon life. (Clare Boothby)
    * Help and tutorial docs now talk about how to use the stylus/mouse.
    * [SDL], [DS]: Starting image now fills the screen. It has also been made darker as the original image was calibrated against the original GBA.
    * [SDL]: Linux and Windows users will find their screen size a bit larger to bring it in line with the DS screen. There is method to my madness.
    * The title menu now has an Options choice that lets you change the options and read the help without starting a game.


    Leech the right version:

    Gameboy Advance [382k].
    Nintendo DS [735k].

    The concept of copying a lower-resolution version of a film from a packaged media disc to a portable device is not new--in fact, late last year, Fox and Warner released the first standard definition titles to offer this capability (on Live Free, Die Hard and Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, respectively).

    Sony today demonstrated the next level of disc copying. At the company's booth at CES, Sony demonstrated how you could put a Blu-ray Disc movie into a Playstation 3 and copy the film to a Playstation Portable or a Memory Stick. "This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you," explains David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

    "There was always the promise of greater interactivity. You'll see that coming in the new year," Bishop added. In addition to the PSP copying example, Sony also demonstrated how you could download ring tones and new content to a BD Live player, using Men in Black as the example.

    BD Live is proving to be a big catchphrase at the show: Panasonic announced its BD Live player yesterday, Fox showcased an early version of its Alien vs. Predator multiplayer game at the Blu-ray Disc Association's booth, and Sony showed its interactive Men in Black trivia game. The game was being played by two people in two locations on a Playstation 3.
