Vu sur Jeux vidéo.com : le prochain Starcraft, jeu attendu par la moité
des joueurs de la galaxie sera vendu en 3 saveurs. Comprenez par là que la
campagne solo du jeu sera vendu sous la forme de 3 stand alone différents. Oui oui vous
avez bien lu, pour pouvoir vous faire la totalité du jeu, vous devrez aquérir les 3
differents opus, sachant que ceux ci seront vendu de façon étalé dans le
temps.
Aucune info sur le prix (après tout, si chaque campagne coute 15 euros, ça peut
permettre au petit budget de profiter du jeu sans avoir à le pirater) et c’est bien
ça qui inquiete la communauté qui se voit déja en train de payer entre 120
et 150 euros (40 ou 50 euros un jeu PC “star”) pour pouvoir diriger des hordes
farouche de Zerg sur ces lopettes de Protoss et leur technologie de Hippie.
Sans parler du problème du prix, cette pratique est le signe d’un changement dans le
monde des jeux vidéo. Les développeurs sont ils en train de chercher une nouvelle
façon de rentabiliser leur blockbuster ? En effet, il est clair que Starcraft 2 se vendra
par brouette, son nom étant auréolé d’une réputation sans
faille. Mais la mode passe vite dans l’univers des jeux, et c’est là que cette
idée a quelques chose d’interressant : le même jeu ok, mais le scénario
est diffusé petit à petit, comme une série télé.
Ce qui fait plaisir dans cette démarche, c’est que ça va peut etre ENFIN
ramener les developpeurs de jeu vidéo dans le giron des Créateurs avec un grand C.
C’est beau l’espoir hein ?

few days as news broke that Chrysler and General Motors have been in talks to a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/10/breaking-gm-and-chrysler-in-merger-talks/"combine
operations/a. It turns out that there's a pretty significant back-story to these proceedings, and
it involves Cerberus Capital Management's possible desire to shed its car-building operations and
acquire the rest of GMAC, of which it already holds a controlling stake of 51%, with GM holding
holding the other 49%. According to reports, Cerberus would like to combine Chrysler Financial with
GMAC, which would allow it to merge the offices of the two financial institutions and reduce costs.
All right, that might make some sense, but what about merging the two automakers? That's the part
that seems so confusing to analysts and us meager bloggers. Somehow, we feel certain that there's
more to this story, which we'll be hearing about for some time.br /br /[Source: a

all reacted similarly to the news of a DHL freight train derailment in which 21,600 Xbox 360s were
lost due to "impact damage, wetting, pilfering and shortage" -- no, not by inquiring about the
well-being of those who were on board at the time of the crash. That would be silly. We reacted, as
anyone would, with general concern for the Redmond-based software juggernaut whose precious cargo
was destroyed in the accident. br /br /That's why we were so glad to hear that a
href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/11/microsoft-sues-dhl-over-xbox-train-derailment/"Microsoft
recently filed a complaint/a against DHL in which they call for $2 million in damages to replace
the missing consoles, stating that the shipping company "negligently breached its duties as a
common carrier, handler, bailee, warehouseman, agent, or in other capabilities." We agree -- it was
incredibly emnegligent/em of DHL to allow their train to crash like that. Really, terribly
unprofessional.p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0;

ReferralKey has been described as LinkedIn mixed with AngiesList. That’s not a bad way to put it
because they do allow you to build a network of professional contacts as on LinkedIn and they
build lists of reputable businesses as Angieslist does with reliable contractors.Â
This service focuses on a simple premise: You scratch my back and I’ll scratch
your’s. So, you just build your network of contacts and refer the best you know and
hopefully they’ll do likewise and everyone benefits from the exchange. ReferralKey does all
of the dirty work and helps you track every transaction and analyzes everything for you too.
You can advertise your business on ReferralKey and get listed by your location and industry. They
will also register your listing with many search engines. This all enhances the odds of consumers
finding your listing.Â
Membership to ReferralKey isn’t free, even though they do let you create an account for
free and allow you to receive up to three referrals without incurring any charges. Once
you’ve reached three referrals you’ll have to decide on which membership plan you
want. There’s a Silver Key plan for $10 a month and a Gold Key plan for $20 a month. The
differences are detailed on here.
The concept of this service is solid and if referrals can generate significant amounts of revenue
then it makes sense to sign up for one of ReferralKey’s membership plans. The site is easy
to use and they provide a great deal of useful information regarding your contacts and your
industry. The old adage is true: It’s not what you know, but who you know that counts. In
this case, it could pay off big time as well.
