Sony make statement on PS3 problem |

From late last night, reports started appearing across the internet about an error that many PlayStation 3 gamers were seeing when they tried to connect online.

It now appears that it might take as long as 24 hours for this problem to be fixed, according to a post by Sony on their official PlayStation blog today. ..More |

"ESPN caught up with producers Haumiller and Russ Kiniry to get the dirt on some of the improvements being made to "NCAA Football 11" that they will be blogging about for EA Sports beginning next week. And while a slew of much bigger features will be announced in the near future, anyone who plays the game passionately will find some additions to the game in this list that have been sorely needed for years." |

Lawsuit Could Change EA's Relationship with NCAA |
|
| |
As former college athletes sign up to take legal action against EA for apparently using their "likeness" in a videogame without their consent, Gamespy reports on how those athletes have won round 1 of the dispute - albeit a small moral victory - in a story that has the potential to change future college sports videogames.
"EA and the NCAA sought to have the cases [brought against them by several college athletes], which presiding U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken combined into one suit, dismissed. They argued that O'Bannon and other NCAA athletes forfeit their commercial rights when they sign a release permitting the association to use their images in promotional activities. Judge Wilken denied the motion yesterday, forcing EA and the NCAA to prove they don't use the likenesses of college athletes in games." |

NCAA Basketball is history ? |
|
| |
A report on Gameinformer appears to confirm that EA has chosen to end the NCAA Basketball videogame series following disappointing sales of NCAA Basketball 10. At least for the time being as it is absent from its 2011 lineup of scheduled releases. GI quotes EA Sports senior director of communications David Tinson with the following comments : "We do not have an NCAA Basketball game in development at this time, and we're currently reviewing the future of our NCAA Basketball business. This was a difficult decision, but we remain a committed partner to the NCAA and its member institutions." |
