UK Indie Labels Claim Apple's Offer
Equals Commercial Suicide 06/15/2004 11:49 AM
While Apple continues to expand their iTunes offering to Europe, many of the larger independent labels in the UK and France have decided not to participate, calling the offer Apple made them "commercial suicide." They claim that Apple is trying to bully them, using its position as the dominant downloadable music retailer to force the smaller labels into accepting a deal that gives them much less than their major label colleagues. Of course, they don't detail exactly what was offered, so it's tough to tell which side (and it certainly could be both) is really being greedy here.

Sony launches music download service:
Connect 05/06/2004 11:38 AM

Sony launched a noninfringing music downloading service, entering a growing market still dominated by Apple's iTunes and including a revised Napster .

Connect is based on a downloadable client , offers more than five hundred thousand songs, and offers now-traditional pricing: ninety-nine cents per song, with a subscription option. Additionally, Connect is appealing to indepedent labels for more content. As with iTunes, a digital rights management ( DRM ) application, MagicGate DRM , restricts sharing of downloaded music files. Connect's file format, ATRAC 3 , is not compatible with the popular iPod portable music player. The desktop client is available for Windows machines only.

You'll think I'm mad but on the amazon uk page you get a release date of 29 April sometimes and the 24th June release date on others...I keep refreshing and get a different date depending on the ad banner.

He's not nuts (at least about this particular thing). I refreshed about eight times and got both dates, as well. Is the European release being pushed back?

Sony delays PSP European launch until
summer 02/05/2005 10:10 PM
Sony has announced that the release date of its new Playstation Portable in Europe and most of Asia will be delayed until summer. March 24th has been announced as the release date for the handheld device in North America. Sony says European gaming enthusiasts, as well as citizens from most of Asia except Japan, will have to wait until sometime in the summer to get their hands on the new system due to high demand and low supply in those parts of the world. "We doubt our customers would be satisfied in releasing them with insufficient inventories," said Kenichi Fukunaga, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment. "By summer, we will be able to manage to meet global demand as our production capacity will be raised to two million units a month," Fukunaga said. "But under the current conditions, it is difficult for us to go ahead with the planned schedule."
