Guide to video game rentals

I have been playing games for a long time. One thing that has never changed is that video games and gaming consoles are expensive. After purchasing a new gaming console, regularly running from $300 to $500, you then have to buy additional controllers, service access, batteries, and charging stations. Then you still have to buy games to make it all worthwhile. When games cost $50 to $70 dollars for a new release, you can easily spend allot each month to buy even just a few of the titles you or your kids want to play.

Video Games: Commission welcomes progress on protection of minors in 23 EU Member States, but asks for improvement of industry c

The European video games sector is dynamic, with expected revenue of € 7.3 billion by the end of 2008. However, public concerns that video games can cause aggressive behaviour, heightened by school shootings such as in Helsinki (Finland, November 2007), have led several national authorities to ban or block video games such as "Manhunt 2". In response, the European Commission has surveyed existing measures protecting minors from harmful video games across the 27 EU Member States. 20 EU Member States now apply PEGI (Pan European Games Information), an age-rating system developed by industry, with EU support, since 2003. In the Commission's view, industry must invest more to strengthen and in particular to regularly update the PEGI system so that it becomes a truly effective pan-European tool.

Best Buy to acquire 50% in Carphone Warehouse retail business

US electronics retailer Best Buy has agreed to buy 50 percent in Carphone Warehouse's European retail business for GBP 1.1 billion. The two will form a new joint venture company which will include The Phone House chain in Europe and their existing joint venture in the US, Best Buy Mobile. Carphone operates over 2,400 shops in nine countries in Europe, and its insurance and airtime business will also join the new company. The deal with Best Buy gives it the backing to expand into new product categories and build on the market convergence in entertainment, computing and communications. For Best Buy, the transaction offers a platform to expand to Europe, where it plans to start opening stores in 2009. Carphone's fixed-line activities in the UK will remain outside the transaction, as well as its share in Virgin Mobile France.

Revisiting the Best Buy, Speakeasy Combination

Nearly a year has passed since Best Buy bought Seattle-based broadband services provider Speakeasy Inc. The plan was to add Speakeasy to the Best Buy for Business division alongside Geek Squad and the hardware and office supplies units. Best Buy has done that, although it hasn’t forced too much integration. The synergies just now are coming together, according to the company, as Speakeasy finishes training Best Buy salespeople and honing its product set. In the coming months, Speakeasy says, it aims to solidify itself, with Best Buy for Business as an alternative not only to ILECs, but to CLECs.

Study: Casual Video Games Demonstrate Ability to Relieve Stress, Improve Mood: Potential Clinical Significance Highlighted

GREENVILLE, N.C. and SEATTLE, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- East Carolina University's Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies today revealed the results of a six-month long, randomized, controlled study that measured the stress-relieving and other mood-lifting effects of so-called "casual" video games. The three puzzle and word games used in the study, Bejeweled(R) 2, Peggle(TM) and Bookworm(TM) Adventures, are all made by PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual video games. (PopCap underwrote the study and provided copies of the games for research purposes.) The hypotheses were tested using state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies to measure heart-rate variability (HRV), electroencephalography (EEG) and subjects' mood states pre- and post-activity (POMS).

Lawmakers want to regulate violent video games

After the record-breaking $500 million first-week sales of Grand Theft Auto IV, the business of video games is under the microscope again this week. This time, however, it’s not outraged parents doing the scrutinizing. It’s lawmakers. Congress introduced a bill this week pushing for government regulation of the gaming industry, just as the Federal Trade Commission released a report that found some stores are selling violent video games to kids despite a drive to have them observe the industry’s rating system. The Video Games Ratings Enforcement Act, introduced to the House floor this week by Reps. Lee Terry, R-Neb., and Jim Matheson, D-Utah, would force stores to check the identification of anyone purchasing games rated M and AO. Stores that violate the rule would be fined $5,000 by the FTC.

M rating stops few kids from playing

Kids as young as 12 were able to buy the M-rated games half the time, while 15-year-olds were successful in 75 percent of their efforts. The good news: Eight-year-old shoppers were stopped.

Adults Too Quick to Dismiss Educational Gaming?

netbuzz writes "A new survey finds that more than half of K-12 students believe that educational video games in school would help them learn (no surprise), although only 15% of teachers and 19% of parents agree. Adults might not want to scoff, however, because 11% of teachers are already using video games in class and they report great results. 'Only 3% of elementary school students say they do not play video games of any kind. Students surveyed say learning via video games would help them better understand difficult concepts, become more engaged in the subject matter and practice skills. There's no mention of the games being fun, but that goes without saying.'"

"Best Buy is apparently aiming for a quick transition to Blu-ray, as a reader has informed us that select Best Buy stores have begun get rid of their HD DVD movies with massive price cuts. Other Best Buy stores apparently are not even trying to sell HD DVDs anymore and are sending the movies back to publishers.
