Spacezilla writes "EA is dropping the bomb on a number of their video game servers, shutting down the online fun for many of their Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 games. Not only is the inclusion of PS3 and Xbox 360 titles odd, the date the games were released is even more surprising. Yes, Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?"pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/06/0456202/EA-Shutting-Down-Video-Game-Servers-Prematurely?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/06/0456202"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/06/0456202/EA-Shutting-Down-Video-Game-Servers-Prematurely?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/50RoWMHaV10" height="1" width="1"/

Sony does not plan to announce price cuts to its flagship PS3 (PlayStation 3) games console at Europe's biggest video games fair in Leipzig, Germany, next week, a company spokesman said on Friday. Cuts to the PlayStation 3's original high price have helped boost its fortunes in Sony's three-way battle with Microsoft and Nintendo in the global video game industry. Sony ruled the video game industry for about a decade from the mid-1990s with its original PlayStation and PlayStation 2. - BERLIN (Reuters) - Sony does not plan to announce price cuts to its flagship PlayStation 3 games console at Europe's biggest video games fair in Leipzig, Germany, next week, a company spokesman said on Friday. quot;It's not going to happen.

A round-table discussion at Gametopius looks into the state of downloadable content for games as it has evolved over the past several years, going from an occasional, welcome supplement to being a common marketing strategy for most of the industry, frequently causing irritation over pricing and availability. "All of the map packs so far released for the Call of Duty games have been $10 each to download on consoles through closed networks, while PC gamers could download those same packs for free off of FileShack or somewhere else. Valve's own Team Fortress 2 has received a significant amount of DLC that's been completely free on the PC. Xbox owners of the same game, however, have only received perhaps half of that content, and they have had to pay for it in $5 packs. Why is this? The idea of this kind of content delivery was scarcely heard of on consoles, so console gamers see no reason not to pay for it. But on the PC, these amounts of content are usually just considered parts of patches. Furthermore, why pay for a few extra maps and costumes when modders are making and offering new ones for free all the time?"pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/08/16/1630252/Are-Game-Consoles-Ruining-DLC?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/08/16/1630252"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/08/16/1630252/Are-Game-Consoles-Ruining-DLC?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vEPwZ0DswQ6HDbUnUxBI9RVAunw/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vEPwZ0DswQ6HDbUnUxBI9RVAunw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vEPwZ0DswQ6HDbUnUxBI9RVAunw/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vEPwZ0DswQ6HDbUnUxBI9RVAunw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/H4tGDwjbS2I" height="1" width="1"/
