Official LittleBigPlanet Website: EU & Canada Pre-Order Details

To our European fans – Our counterparts in EU say not to worry, your pre-orders will be announced shortly. In all honesty, each SCE territory has different market challenges and consumer trends. In the US, pre-orders are emphasized a lot earlier in the product marketing messaging cycle. On the other side of the coin, some countries don't emphasize pre-orders as much (or at all). Also, Europe is especially tricky because there are so many different countries, and each country has their own pre-order programs - specific to their own retail partners and consumers. Then include "X" amount of business discussions, legal discussions, logistic issues, etc, add water, and then you have a pre-order campaign (or at least a quick snapshot of the pre-order process).

I think it's fair to say we lacked a proven goalscorer last season, but at least we found the back of the net. The last three pre-season games have seen a goal drought of worrying proportions.

Now I realise pre-season stands for little. The results don't matter, it's the performances but when you've not scored in 3 games - two of which were against teams who we should really have hit the back against - then you start to get a bit jittery. Now, let's not get this out of context. On Friday night we had seven players missing who would be in a starting line up and shortly afterwards lost Stephen McPhee which means we effectively were playing our second string. However, that still doesn't mean we shouldn't have done better against Shrewsbury and at least scored a goal.

Circuit City Stores (CC) NewsBite - Circuit City Tumbles after BBI Drops Bid

Circuit City Stores Inc. (CC) opened at 2.22. So far today, the stock has hit a low of 2.10 and a high of 2.27. CC is now trading at 2.18, down 0.37 (-16.67%). The stock hit its 52 week high of 15.33 in July and set its 52 week low of 2.10 today. CC has been moving downwards for the past year. Circuit City Stores shares have been taking a hit after Blockbuster Inc. (BBI) withdrew its bid for the company, citing "market conditions." In April, Blockbuster had offered to buy Circuit City for at least $6 a share, or more than $1 billion. Technical indicators for the stock are bearish and steady while S&P gives CC a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold rating. We will just watch this one for now. There are no trades that we like for CC.

Peak Oil May Sprout "Space Program-size" Funding, Article Posted on TwinTrader.com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 22, 2008 ) DALLAS, Texas - TwinTrader.com announces the publication of ‘Peak Oil May Sprout “Space Program-size” Funding’ Investors can view all of the investment articles and publications for free by visiting: http://www.TwinTrader.com Peak Oil May Sprout “Space Program-size” Funding ”The hope of oil retreating back to the $30 level has since been shattered as fantastic and naïve wishful thinking. Steve Forbe’s prediction last year of $30 oil has proven to be way off the mark. Many other “well-informed” pundits of the “peak oil” theory have turned mute, recently, and for very good reasons. It appears that the peak oil theorists are winning the debate this year, not with mere talking points, but with hard price and inventory levels data reported each day, and each week in the case of oil inventories.

Circuit City Demands All Copies of Mad Magazine with Ad Parody Destroyed

In this month's Mad Magazine, there's an ad parody for Circuit City (Sucker City! Oh, Mad Magazine you rascal!) that takes aim at the electronics retailer. Always across the street from a Best Buy! Expensive TVs! The price always goes down right after you bought it! Wah wahhhh! I wasn't even aware that Circuit City sold Mad Magazine, but apparently they do, and they sure are pissed. In fact, they're ordering every store to destroy every copy of the offending issue. Hit the jump for the full ad parody and Circuit City's internal response.

San Francisco DA Discloses City's Passwords

snydeq writes "The office of San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has made public close to 150 usernames and passwords used by various departments to connect to the city's VPN. The passwords were filed this week as Exhibit A in a court document arguing against a reduction in $5 million bail in the case against Terry Childs. Though they placed the passwords in the public record, city prosecutors do seem to think that they are sensitive. InfoWorld's Paul Venezia, who has been following the case closely, provides further analysis of the technical details in the city's case. 'By themselves, [the passwords] would not be enough to allow anyone to access the network via VPN,' Venezia writes, 'but the fact that the city entered them into evidence is quite shocking.

Tracey Emin: I'm really, really in love, passionately in love

The drone I can hear, that feels like it's living behind the backs of my eyes, is a cross between the fan in my bedroom and a hangover. Something which I haven't had for a long, long time. But last night I hit the town. I was smiling and happy – and I'm still smiling and happy. I'm really, really in love, passionately in love.

Blockbuster Looks At Circuit City's Books; Ditches Acquisition Offer

We were one of a very small number of people who actually saw some logic behind Blockbuster bidding for Circuit City -- though, it seemed unlikely that Blockbuster viewed the purchase in the same way we did. Most people assumed (probably correctly) that Blockbuster didn't really have much of a plan at all, other than to merge the two struggling companies and have an even bigger mess on their hands. Blockbuster has now withdrawn the offer to buy Circuit City, gamely claiming that it has to do with "market conditions" and a better understanding of just how awful Circuit City's books appear to be. That's press release talk. What's more likely is that Blockbuster realized that everyone was right: it would screw up the merger and make a bad situation worse.

Blockbuster backs out of Circuit City offer

Video retailer Blockbuster tonight said it has withdrawn its offer to buy Circuit City. The company provides few details as to the reason for its sudden exit but says that a combination of "market conditions" and the process of due diligence, or examining the health of Circuit City as a business, have led it to believe that a takeover of the electronics chain is not in its best interests. Blockbuster still argues that the idea of unifying media and electronics under one name but that it will have to do so through its own stores rather than Circuit City's locations.

US: Blockbuster Drops Bid For Circuit City

Blockbuster Inc has dropped its $1.35bn bid for Circuit City Stores, saying the move was prompted by a closer look at the electronic retailer’s books. Blockbuster Chairman and CEO Jim Keyes noted, “Based on market conditions and the completion of our initial due diligence process, we have determined that it is not in the best interest of Blockbuster's shareholders to proceed with an acquisition of Circuit City”. The news sent shares of Circuit City plummeting 14% in trading after the close of US markets.
