Stories
o Sony May Delay PlayStation 3
Launch
Tokyo - While still looking to launch its PlayStation 3
console in the spring, Sony said delays in specifications for the
Blu-ray DVD drive and other technologies could force it to wait
until next year, Reuters reported. Sony intends to include its
next-generation Blu-ray DVD technology inside the PlayStation 3, and
the specifications for that format have not yet been finalized.
"We're waiting for them until the last possible minute, but the
launch could be pushed back if they're not decided soon," a Sony
spokeswoman told Reuters. "We're aiming for spring, but we haven't
announced specific regions." A Merrill Lynch research note released
on Monday speculated that the launch of the PlayStation 3 could be
delayed by six to 12 months, making for a launch in the fall of 2006
in Japan, and a late 2006 or early 2007 launch in the U.S. The note
also said that the cost for Sony to produce each individual game
console at first could reach $900, making for a heavy loss on each
console sold until production costs come down several years into the
console cycle.

o Struggling
Video Game Publisher Atari to Cut 20% of Staff
New York - Troubled video game publisher Atari announced
on Friday that it will lay off about 20% of its 400 employees, as
part of a restructuring aimed at cutting costs in the wake of an
unexpectedly weak quarter. The company said in its quarterly
earnings statement last week that there was "substantial doubt"
about its ability to continue operating as a company, after posting
an unexpected loss due to weak sales of its games. "Today's decisive
action will provide us with the flexibility necessary in a changing
business environment," said Atari chairman and CEO Bruno Bonnell.
"Adjusting our cost structure is a significant first step and
demonstrates our commitment to restoring shareholder value."

o Trans World to
Acquire Assets of Bankrupt Musicland Retail Chain
Albany, N.Y. - Trans World Entertainment, a music retailer
whose stores include FYE, Wherehouse, Strawberries and Coconuts,
announced on Tuesday that it has bid to acquire the assets of
bankrupt music retailer Musicland Holding Corp., including its Sam
Goody and Suncoast Motion Picture Company stores. Musicland filed
for Ch. 11 bankruptcy protection in January, after seeing its
revenues drop 42% between 1999 and 2005. The purchase agreement is
subject to a competitive bidding process and bankruptcy court
approval. "We believe that the acquisition of Musicland's assets
will allow us to leverage their store locations, strategically
increase Trans World's national footprint, and will provide further
growth opportunities," said Trans World chairman and CEO Robert J.
Higgins. Trans World currently operates nearly 800 retail stores in
46 states.
