Tiger Woods Goes Web 2.0 with Subscription-Based PGA Game

Tiger Woods Goes Web 2.0 with Subscription-Based PGA Game

Though most of the titles to show up at this year’s E3 will hit physical shelves in cardboard boxes any number of months later, Electronic Arts has decided to dip its toe into a Web 2.0 model of distribution on one title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online will allow users to pay for their gaming experience monthly and play through a browser, rather than buying a disc and installing it.

AACS: High-Def DVD Copy Protection Cracked

Although there’s been much debate during the last few weeks whether a cracker using the name Muslix64 had successfully broken AACS copy protection on HD DVD discs would bear out, the feat appears to be legitimate: in a brief statement, AACS LA has confirmed that AACS title keys have been successfully ferretted out, distributed via the Internet, and used to decode protected high-definition movie content. AACS spokesperson Michael Ayers described the crack as having “sobering possibilities,” but described its impact as limited at the moment, in part due to the limited HD content available on the market and the current impracticality of sharing mammoth high-definition video files via the Internet.  Read more...

“While the list doesn’t contain many surprises, it does feature a couple of titles which hadn’t previously been confirmed for launch during the period – most notably the new Legend of Zelda title on the GameCube, which could appear in Q2.
