Analyst: Hardware Pricing, Possible Starcraft II Delay Could ‘Compromise’ Activision’s Holiday (StarCraft II)


Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey says that despite the promise of holiday success for games like DJ Hero and Tony Hawk: Ride, Activision’s year end could see some snags — chief among them the increasing likelihood that Starcraft II won’t make this calendar year.

Although Blizzard’s not yet pinned a specific release date for the game, it’s maintained a 2009 window. But Starcraft II lead designer recently told consumer weblog Kotaku that the team plans to have a beta that will last "four to six months," leading Hickey to conclude: "We find it increasingly probably that the game will be released in [Activision's] fiscal ‘10 period."

EA is NOT charging for MJ tribute outfits (Battlefield Heroes)


TVGB: "The browser-based Battlefield Heroes stealthily launched last week and has proven to be a fun little game to fire up every now and then when the boss isn’t looking. The game is free to play but brings in the cash by asking a few dollars here and there for microtransactions like faster leveling up, clothing etc. Not a bad plan and one that more and more games are using these days. But it appeared as if EA had taken it to a bad place when MTV Multiplayer reported earlier today that EA is asking 420 Battlefunds, the game’s currency that can be bought with real money, in this case ~$3, for each of the two of Michael Jackson’s outfits."
