  This is mainly going to be bad news for the Japanese workforce. A strong Yen is really bad news as they become disproportionately expensive compared to overseas staff. Conversely the way that the pound has become horribly devalued over the last few months is good for UK workers.
  
  The bottom line though is that certain parts of the Sony group are going to be hit harder than others due to global market conditions. High-end consumer electronics for example are in far more precarious positions than entertainment focussed units like games and movies - areas that are generally far more recession resistant (not proof) than others.
  
  I concur, with the Fed currently printing off dollars willy nilly the dollar/yen should flip round later down the line. Then we'll have MS cutting a few thousand jobs too. Looks like there's a lot of companies being burnt on the crests of these currency destabilisations during this current recession (depression?)
  
  Sony will have to focus on their core products and hope it's within the customer's purchasing power during these interesting times. Otherwise I fear the worst.

  According to bloomberg it's 16,000 -> 8k permanent staff and 8k temporary.

• SoulCalibur IV

• Serraphin 30/07/2008

  have to have this, ps3 or x360 version though... hmmm
  
  picked the 360 for achievements and not having to mess with install shenanigans. Starwars char weren't a priority.
  
  (Here's hoping trophies gets off the ground and my mates buy a ps3!)
  
  edit: can see why it's not an 8 as some people (purists) see weapons in a fighting game as a no go. Reply 0

  Fluffster, that's a little extreme. Or is somebody a little envious that their daddy wasn't as cool?
  
  And with regards to your 'point', the target audience (as explained in the blurb) are kids.

  WRT to the sony delay, it is very easy to get caught up swinging the mallet of doom and gloom. Schadenfreude FTL.

• PS3 priced and dated

  ZeRoB wrote "I'm not buying the 60GB model at the release price of £410, unless it becomes apparent that you don't need the larger HDD. If that is the case then I'd be very tempted to purchase the 20GB model at £340. Why the hell does it cost £70 for 40GB more HDD space? Is it a fancy HDD?"
  
  wtf? I hope you're not using current fx rates... because in the wonderful world of consoles 499 Euro = £499 and 599 Euro = £599, I have never, ever, never seen it otherwise in any launch.

• C&VG faces suspension as Future buys Dennis' mags

• Serraphin 23/08/2004

  Haven't bought a mag really other than for a demo CD (once or twice).
  
  With the increase in speed of broadband it's easier/faster to download demos. Also sites like eurogamer are slighlty richer in content than CV&G for articles/reviews/previews, industry news and so forth.
  
  Then there's the interaction between reviewer and reader.
  And the forum stuff too..

  I buy about 3-4 games a year... and still can't finish them, although I did complete beyond good and evil, prior to that was Halo.
  
  Wasn't there a similar article to this a few months back? or was that last year and has time gone by so quickly *sigh* Reply 0
