Hasta La Gadget!

Internet music video provider Vevo launched its linear channel on mobile devices, Xbox 360 and Roku back in March, and according to the Wall Street Journal, it may arrive on the PS3, Apple TV (directly, AirPlay support came last week) and Samsung’s Smart TV soon. After a rumor earlier this month from AdAge, the new report indicates deals with both Samsung and Apple are signed with a launch on the latter possible this week. That most of the people watching the streaming channel do so on TV-connected devices which, along with the desire to sell higher-priced TV ads is apparently behind the new push. The next moves for Vevo? Rolling out new channels that focus on specific genres or live music, renegotiating licenses for content, and off in the distance, perhaps a cable TV channel. For now, we’ll just pencil in a shift to reality TV shows, dramas and other non-music programming for 2019 or so.

Talk about cryptic teasers: Sony has just announced that Minecraft is coming to the PS4 at launch. And… that’s about it. There’s no other details. Still, those who want to build blocky worlds on next-gen consoles won’t be limited to the Xbox One.

Update: Notch has chimed in after Sony’s event with word that Minecraft will also reach the PS3 and PS Vita.

It does seem as though the PlayStation 3 version of Disney Infinity has started to result in issues for select users, where some users have reported that the game itself will freeze or lock-up, resulting in it being unplayable because of a network issue that happens to be related to the game’s day one 1.01 patch. A statement on the game’s official Facebook page said, “This is not a software-related issue, and we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Players with the PlayStation 3 version of Disney Infinity are still able to play single-player and multi-player co-op modes of the game by removing the patch and turning off their Playstation’s network communications.”

You will be able to check out the full instructions on how to do away with the offending patch, as well as turning off the console’s network communications over on Disney Infinity’s Facebook page. The issue itself has appeared across a variety of channels including Twitter, Facebook and the official PlayStation forums, and we do know that a fix is already in the pipeline, which is a good thing, but the sooner it is released, the better it would be for everyone generally. Are you one of those who was affected?

PS3 Disney Infinity Reports “Locking Up” Problems original content from Ubergizmo.

When it comes to video games, there is nothing quite like a bundle packed in your direction, since it would mean you would have plenty of games to keep yourself occupied over a period of time without having to worry about whatever else that is going to happen in the world around – at least this is what it felt like as a student during the summer holidays, and all you ever want to do is to just sit in front of the TV and “game” your entire summer through. Capcom must have heard this clarion call, which is why they have confirmed the Capcom Essentials bundle for both the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360.

The Capcom Essentials bundle for PS3 will see five PS3 games brought together in a special collection, and just what kind of goodies can you expect to be part of this particular bundle? We are looking at Resident Evil 6, Super Street Fighter 4, Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2 and Mega Man 10, with the entire shebang retailing for $60. That would average out to $12 per game, which ain’t too shabby at all, considering the amount of entertainment hours that you are going to get out of them in comparison to a movie that lasts for two, three hours tops. Not only that, the Capcom Essentials bundle will also be accompanied by a branded bag, and it is ready to launch this October 8th.
