Sega: Sonic & Puyo Puyo turn 20 in 2011 | Sonic & Puyo Puyo cumplen 20 en el 2011

English | Español

It is already 2011 in Japan, and Sega has already sent a press release about Sonic and Puyo Puyo. As you may remember, Sonic was Sega’s answer to Nintendo’s Mario fame in 1991.

The Sonic 20th Anniversary site is already up-and-running (though with little content), and the Puyo site shares a similar anniversary logo. What could we expect from Sega? How will Sega celebrate the anniversary of both Sonic and Puyo Puyo in the US, Japan and the rest of the world? Time will tell.

El tiempo lo dirá.

A new competitor in the digital battle of video-on-demand services

English | En español: [http://blogs.impre.com/piensa-digital/2010/12/28/un-nuevo-competidor-en-la-batalla-digital-de-videos-bajo-demanda/].

With the support of Sonic Solutions, Sears has begun distributing movies and TV shows over the Internet and has become the newest competitor of video-on-demand (VOD) digital services. Known as Alphaline Entertainment [http://alphaline.roxionow.com/], it currently allows comsumers to download new films the same day as the DVD and Blu-ray discs get to be on sale.

The deal between Sonic and Sears is part of a multi-year agreement in order to offer this service in as many devices as possible.

“Collaborating with Sonic provides a great opportunity for Sears and Kmart to launch digital services for customers seeking even faster access to the latest in home entertainment experiences,” stated Karen Austin, President of Consumer Electronics for Sears.

Currently, the service works with Windows PCs (XP/Vista/7), RoxioNow-ready Blu-Ray players and Xbox 360 game consoles. Movies for rent cost $3.99, while recent movies cost $19.99. The price of older films varies.

It will be a long fight for Sears. Netflix has a great advantage for being the champion, however, Sears can still win. For now, Netflix and Redbox customers have to wait 28 days before they could get films that belong to certain Hollywood motion picture company. The same won’t happen with Sears.

For those people who can’t wait to watch a film as soon as it’s available on sale for home viewing, Sears’ plan is a good alternative, though you may have to pay a bit more for the inmediate rent of a movie, and some time for its download.
