Streetlight Films: “Street Fighter – Legacy”

It seems like there’s finally a short movie that will do what no live-action Street Fighter film has done before: go to the core of the story by taking it back to its origins in a realistic, faithful way. This Thursday, Streetlight Films will release ”Street Fighter – Legacy” and it may be the best game-to-film adaptation of the fighting game franchise to date. Though the teasers are very short, they deserve a look.

Parece que ya hubiera por fin una película de corta duración que hará lo que ningún largometraje “live-action” de Street Fighter ha hecho antes: ir al núcleo de la historia, llevándolo de vuelta a sus orígenes de una manera realista y fiel. Este jueves, Streetlight Films estrenará “Street Fighter – El Legado”, y puede ser la mejor adaptación de juego a largometraje de la franquicia de juegos de lucha hasta la fecha. Aunque los “teasers” son muy cortos, sí merecen un vistazo.

SCEA: PS3 & PSP Protection Plan

From/De: Sony Computer Entertainment America

Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces PlayStation(R) Protection Plan for PlayStation(R)3 (PS3(TM)) and PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable)

 Extended Service Program Gives PS3 and PSP Owners the Option to Purchase One or Two Years of Additional Coverage Beyond the One-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

 
FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the PlayStation® Protection Plan, an extended service offer for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems. Under the new program, PS3 and PSP owners in the United States can purchase an extended service plan of one or two years that begins after the original one-year manufacturer’s limited warranty expires. PSP owners can also choose the Accidental Damage Plan, which adds coverage for cracked-screen damage in the event of an unexpected drop. The PlayStation Protection Plan offers peace of mind to consumers interested in enhanced coverage for a great value, along with the added security of knowing all services will be performed with the direct backing and support of SCEA as the original manufacturer.

With the PlayStation Protection Plan, consumers can extend the same coverage from the original manufacturer’s one-year warranty for one or two additional years. The pricing includes all shipping charges and repairs, which are performed by PlayStation-trained service technicians using official parts at SCEA-authorized repair facilities. The PlayStation Protection Plan is available beginning in May 2010 and will be priced competitively.
PS3 – 1-year extension ($49.99) or 2-year extension ($59.99)
PSP – 1-year extension ($29.99) or 2-year extension ($39.99)
PSP with Accidental Damage – 1-year extension ($39.99) or 2-year extension ($49.99)

“The PlayStation® brand has long been synonymous with the highest quality in engineering and design, and it’s because of the reliability of the PS3 and PSP systems that we can offer the PlayStation Protection Plan,” said Glenn Nash, vice president, operations, SCEA. “We have heard from consumers that they’re interested in an extended service plan that’s backed directly by SCEA and leverages our technical expertise. While both the PS3 and PSP systems are designed with future-proof technology and built for long lifecycles, we’re looking forward to offering this service to consumers looking for added peace of mind.”

The PlayStation Protection Plan is available to PS3 or PSP owners (both the PSP-3000 and PSPgo systems) who are still within their one-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, as well as new purchasers. The PSP Accidental Damage Plan must be purchased within the first 30 days of owning a PSP system, and the plan is effective beginning on the purchase date. Starting this month, consumers can purchase the PlayStation Protection Plan by calling 1-866-716-7669.
