In addition to the $10.5 billion spent in the U.S. by consumers on new physical video game software in 2009, the total spend by consumers within other industry channels in the U.S., including used video games, rentals, subscriptions, digital full game downloads, downloadable content, and mobile game apps., is estimated in the range of $4.5 to $4.75 billion. Consumers’ digital game spending is concentrated among lower priced full-game downloads and downloadable content.

That’s right, Amazon right now is offering the Xbox 360 Arcade model, two games bundled in free, 256MB of storage built in, for just $149, free shipping.

You didn’t need that new slim one for twice the price anyway, did you? No, I didn’t think so!

So, 4 hours into the show, an update is probably in order. As you undoubtedly know by now, Microsoft announced a new Xbox 360, Sony announced a paid PSN and an expensive Wiimote clone Move pricing/release date, and Nintendo announced its 3DS.

This latter beast is the darling of the show: the lines to see it are now hours long, and chatter on the floor is that the device is “amazing.”

Meanwhile, the new 360 is sexy, and the lines to play with PS Move are…well, they’re short. Chatter on the floor is a mix of “it’s Wii HD!” and “Lame, what a ripoff.” Women are dancing-as they do on Wii. Me are punching and shooting with waggle-as they do on Wii.

Don’t get me wrong-though I begrudge the mediocre creativity exhibited by Sony’s imaginating department, from a business perspective it makes sense: Nintendo’s method is proven; Microsoft’s isn’t.

But has he forgotten that one of the reasons PC titles sold in store are shrinking is the fact many of these stores don’t carry PC games due to the non-existence of a used game market for these Games? I haven’t seen a GameStop carrying PC games (outside World of Warcraft) in some time. E3 is also a trade show where thousands of members of the press report–live blogging, video streaming, twittering, etc–what they see and hear to those who consume the media. Should the PC Gaming Alliance have a press conference? In short, yes. Microsoft, whose operating system runs most PC games, are also a member of the PC Gaming Alliance, yet had little to no mention to PC gaming during their press conference. Many PC gamers are left with unanswered questions on where PC gaming is going. These leave a question open for answers, so what is the PC Gaming Alliance doing for PC gamers to help resolve the consumer experience?

Director Kevin Tancharoen has begun with re-visioning the bloody classic with a more human approach. Some may cry foul and bloody murder to his new approach to beloved  world and characters; such as Reptile, Shang Tsung, and the gorgeous Sonya Blade, who’s played by the ever so stunning Jeri Ryan.

Mind you this is a mere pitch to sell his vision to the big wigs at Warner Bros. We may here something in the near future, besides the new game, for now view it and savor it in all its bloody goodness.

“Another one?” you may be asking yourself. Well yes and there’s a scientific explanation behind it, one I’ll butcher beyond definition.

You see, scientists have this theory where the human mind is somehow in sync with the rest of the world in some grand network. When one person thinks of something clever, possibly revolutionizing this world, some one else across the world has the same idea. The name of said phenomenon escapes me at the moment but I assure you its scientific.

In this case a small crew from Thousand Pounds Studios, lead by Chris Cowan, filmed its own take of the Street Fighter universe. With only a 400 dollar budget, a Canon EoOS 7D camera, and the dark magic of Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro, they made science entertaining.

Think of this as one of those chaser shots you take, just before you get to the serious drinking that makes your head explode. Its all in the name of science…. so go on now, view it.
