o Sony Delays PlayStation 3 Launch to November

Tokyo - Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that it will delay the planned launch of its PlayStation 3 video game console from the spring of 2006 until early November, when it will simultaneously launch the console in Japan, North America and Europe. The company cited delays in finalizing the copyright protection technology that will be part of the next-generation Blu-ray Disc DVD drives included with the PlayStation 3, on which games will also be formatted. Sony plans to ship 6 million of the devices worldwide by the end of March 2007. The company also announced new details for the PlayStation 3, which will include a 60GB hard drive and a free online game service called the PlayStation Network Platform. The online service will compete with Microsoft's Xbox Live online game service for its Xbox 360, the next-generation console Microsoft launched in November 2005.

o CEA Campaign to Inform Consumers of Digital TV Transition

Washington - The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), a trade group of consumer electronics manufacturers, announced on Wednesday a voluntary industry effort to inform consumers about the nation's transition to digital TV on Feb. 17, 2009, that will include the placement of informational labels on new analog TV sets. The label will notify consumers that the analog TVs will require a converter box after the transition date in order to receive over-the-air broadcasts, but should continue to work normally with cable and satellite TV systems, gaming consoles, VCRs and DVD players. The CEA forecasts that U.S. consumers will purchase 18 million digital TVs and displays this year, and that the industry will have shipped a total of over 48 million digital TVs by the end of 2006.

o French Parliament Votes Down Blanket P2P License

Paris - The French parliament has voted down a proposal that would have created the world's first blanket license for sharing digital media, in effect legalizing peer-to-peer file-sharing in France, Agence France-Presse reported. The proposal, which passed an earlier vote, would have created a levy of between about $10 and $12 imposed on file-swappers, which would then have been distributed to artists and copyright holders. The AFP reported that the French government strongly opposed the proposal, adding that several members of parliament walked out in protest after the measure was voted down.

o U.K. Gambling Commission Proposes Online Gambling Regulations

London - The U.K. government's Gambling Commission has issued a draft Code of Practice that would for the first time bring online gambling under the Commission's jurisdiction. The draft Conditions and Codes of Practice, which if approved would go into effect in 2007 as part of a larger U.K. Gambling Act, would compel online gambling sites to constantly inform users of how much time and money they've spent online, as well as keep track of and provide help and information to problem gamblers -- including the ability for them to prohibit themselves from such sites. Gambling sites would also have to apply for licenses from the Commission, carry out random checks to ensure bettors are over 21, and provide filtering technology to parents. "We will monitor all British gambling operators to make sure they comply with our rules," said Gambling Commission chairman Peter Dean. "We have the power to fine or revoke the licenses of those who fail to do so, and to prosecute illegal gambling. We won't hesitate to use these powers if need be."

o EU Rejects Microsoft Request for Public Antitrust Hearing

Brussels - The European Commission announced that it has refused a request by Microsoft to have its antitrust hearing held in public. A Microsoft spokesman told The Financial Times that the company was willing to waive its right to a confidential hearing in order to ensure a "full and fair" examination. The Commission, however, flatly rejected the idea. "I can confirm that Microsoft did make a formal request for the hearing to be public and the request was refused by the hearing officer because the procedural regulation explicitly prohibits this," EU Competition Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd said. The hearing, which has been set for March 30-31, gives Microsoft one last chance to convince the Commission it has complied with a 2004 antitrust ruling.
