    Microsoft has officially halted the distribution of all Xbox Live-related iPhone applications via Apple's App Store -- not to quell creative coding, but instead to mandate that all such programs must be offered to users free of charge.

    The creators of an application dubbed "1337pwn Friends List" that allows users access to their Xbox Live Friends List via Apple's multi-function handheld revealed the news this morning, as per a recent conversation they had with Microsoft's developer relations department.

    Screen 1: Edit a whole bunch of parameters

    Description

    PSParticlePlayer is an MP3 player featuring some nice graphics, think of it as a Screensaver or Eye-Catcher playing some music for you. OK, PSParticlePlayer is just a bit more than that, at first it was developed as a Particle Engine Editor (and it still is) for the upcoming PGE game engine release. Spiced up with some MP3 playing functionality it is the app you have sitting in front of you :-)

    While Sony has already made big strides in 2008 and the company's gaming division did record a profit of about $51 million during its last quarter (April-June) based on stronger sales of PS3 hardware and software, it's no secret that the expensive PS3 has been a loss leader for the company. In 2008, Sony lost $1.16 billion and in 2007 the company lost $2.16 billion, meaning that overall the PS3 investment has cost Sony over $3.3 billion.

    What's really surprising, however, is that Sony has already hemorrhaged more cash on the PS3 than it made selling PlayStation 2s during the entire five years of its peak. This comes from industry veteran David Perry, who cited new data from DFC Intelligence during a speech at the Games Convention in Leipzig. Perry, according to 1UP, was talking about how Sony has invested an enormous amount in this console generation and to make the most of it the company will likely extend this cycle as far as it can – even longer than the PS2.

    Like most hardware in the typical "razor and blades" business model, Sony did lose money on the PS2 initially as well, but it didn't take long for Sony to streamline the system, make it profitable and then of course the company went on to sell over 120 million units worldwide. If Sony can follow a similar pattern, maybe just maybe they'll be able to breakeven (or even profit) on the massive PS3 investment.

    Dark Alex is back with a new release of the excellent app for the PSP:

    Just when you thought unbricking couldn't get any better - It does.

    From the readme (abridged):

    Changes in version 7

    - A format flash function has been added which is usefull to correct problems in some psp that get an error when installing 4.01 M33, or to have a custom partitioning of the flash.

    - An idstorage tools function has been addded. It allows to create a new idstorage (including for first time, the regeneration of region and umd keys), change region (including umd region), or fix wlan mac address.

    More info about the two new added functions below.

    Installation:

    - DC iplloader doesn't require to mspformat the memory stick.
    However, in some memory stick it may still be necessary.
    Just run the program and if you find an error at 99%, run mspformat and try again.

    - Copy DC7 to PSP/GAME/

    - Download Sony 4.01 update eboot and copy it to ms rootwith the name 401.PBP

    - If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.

    - Use the app under a 3.x/4.x kernel. The program may not work in versions prior to 3.03 OE.

    - IF timemachine is installed in this memory stick, the program will ask you at the end which button(s) you want to boot DC7, otherwise no buttons will be necessary.

    - Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
    battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.

    Battery and ms will work on all psp except the very latest ta-88.

    New features

    - Lflash format (in nand operations menu)

    This function performs a physical format of the lflash, creates the 4 partitions again, with the
    user desired sizes (by default, they are set to the default of that system), and then performs
    a logical format of the 4 partitions.

    This function allows to fix some errors that appear in 4.01 M33 installation: Error assigning flashX, psp not booting after installing 4.01 M33, etc.

    It is also useful for fat users that want to make flash0 bigger by making the other partitions smaller.

    Note: the sizes shown in the menu refer to the size of the physical partition. The size of the
    logical partition maybe a bit smaller.

    No need to say that this operations deletes current content of flash. After lflash format, the
    flash is empty, you need to install 4.01 M33/OFW.

    - Create new idstorage (in nand operations menu, idstorage tools)

    This function destroys the current idstorage (if any), and creates a new one.
    It is useful when your idstorage has been corrupted and you didn't have a backup like hapenned to me with one psp

    Keys restore: common keys, and for first time region/openpsid/dnas/certificate keys and umd keys.

    What will and won't work after this?

    UMD: yes.
    Set time via internet (DNAS): yes
    adhoc: not tested, but hopefully it will work
    psn games: not tested but it should work. However your current bought games will not work, as your psp will be identified as a new device.
    usb: yes, your psp and ps3 will detect it as a new device because the psp identifier (psid) has changed.
    magicgate (drm videos/audio): it has not been tested, but it should NOT work, as a way to generate magicgates keys (0x10-0x13) has not been found (yet).


    First step: select a region for your new idstorage. If your region is not there, just select
    whatever one, also if it is there, you can select another one if you want
    The region affects also umd videos/audios.

    Second step (optional): Press enter button to find real mac address (wifi switch must be on).
    If this step fails, then just press -> to continue and a random mac will be generated (in this case after idstorage creation, shutdown the psp, restart DC and goto idstorage tools -> fix mac, this time it should work unless there is a hardware problem).

    Last step is to press enter, and your new idstorage will be created.

    - Change region ((in nand operations menu, idstorage tools)

    This allows to change the region of the psp and the umd drive. After this, your psp will be able to play umd's of other region.
    As a side effect, your psp will be identified as a new device, so you'll have to download/buy
    psn games again, configure ps3 remote control again, etc.

    From the site:

    Hello everyone,

    We have delayed the video release to give distributors time to set up their webshops to take orders, distributors check your email for some nice new information (and media).

    And just to keep you guys happy here is a new photo, don't worry about the colour/texture - it's a prototype case, the final one will be glossy and smooth:

    Hi folks!

    Here are some videos for you to enjoy, all encoded using xvid and MP3.

    Download: 1080i FullHD
    Download: 720p
    Download: 640x360

    Basically, it's nothing new - a Pandora DevBoard running some emulators. Okay, this time, it'll also show some Linux

    BUT: Those videos are HiRes Enjoy them!

    Some notes:

    * Yup, I know Dinosaurs & Cadillacs as well as Picodrive is a bit blurred. I realized that while editing but didn't have the time to reshoot it.
    * I know the graphic overlays I did look a bit cheap... as I'm going to the GC tomorrow and had some other work to do today, I didn't have time to make much of a real design here. I thought you wanted to see something quick instead of waiting a few days just for nicer overlays After all... this is no commercial... it's some nice video for you guys here on the boards
    * The LCD looks a bit like it smears with the 720p and 640x360 videos. That's because of the downconversion from i to p. It's smooth in real life
