When buying things online, especially from places like Gumtree or Craigslist where you do not have buyer protection, as opposed to buying from eBay, you have to be careful lest you get scammed. Unfortunately one poor soul by the name of Edd Joseph in the UK got scammed when he attempted to purchase a PS3 from someone who posted the ad on Gumtree.

The console was priced at £80 and to make things worse, Edd paid the seller by direct bank deposit which pretty much offered no protection at all. He tried to complain to the police who told him that there was little chance of catching the crook, and Gumtree replied to him saying that bank transfers were against the site’s T&C to begin with. So what did Edd do? He got revenge. (more…)

Earlier this week the much awaited HBO Go app for the Sony PlayStation 3 was released. The app allows people to watch all current and past episodes of HBO’s shows as well as a plethora of movies through their console. As you would imagine, an internet connection is required to stream those episodes, and Comcast Xfinity subscribers have struck out quite badly. It turns out that Comcast isn’t letting subscribers stream content through HBO Go for PlayStation, so the only option they have right now is to go with another provider, if they want to use HBO GO for PS3.

As you can imagine, Nintendo is doing pretty good for themselves after the huge success of the Wii. There’s no doubt that their future continues to look bright as the Wii is still hard to find, and the demand is definitely going strong.

While I knew that the Wii was doing well, I didn’t realize how dramatic Nintendo’s profits would be.  Numbers have just been released for the fiscal year ending in March, and Nintendo’s profits have increased by a whopping 77 percent.

These numbers are pretty astounding:

• Reported net profit: 1.74 billion dollars (up from 826 million the year prior)
• Sales: 8.13 billion dollars (up from 4.29 billion the year prior)

Within the first five months of the Wii being released to the public, 5.84 million were sold!

In related news, it’s apparent that the Playstation 2 isn’t going anywhere for a while, despite the fact that the PS3 is on the market. In fact, analysts are saying that the PS2 will continue to out-sell the PS3 for another two years.

In a way, it reminds me of the situation with Windows Vista. While the latest and greatest is available, people are still hesitant and sticking with XP, just as people are sticking to PS2. And clearly there’s a demand for XP, especially after Dell recently brought back XP as an offering on new machines.

I guess this just shows that the latest isn’t always the greatest!
