o Game Industry Sues to Overturn Calif. Ban on Violent Game Sales

Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game industry trade group, announced on Tuesday that it has filed a federal lawsuit in California aimed at overturning the ban on the sale of violent video games to minors recently signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "We believe this bill will meet the same fate as virtually identical statutes that federal courts have routinely struck down in recent years," said ESA president Doug Lowenstein. Bans on violent video game sales have been overturned on First Amendment free speech grounds in Washington state, St. Louis County and the city of Indianapolis. "It is not up to any industry or the government to set standards for what kids can see or do; that is the role of parents," added Lowenstein. Also siding with the ESA in filing the lawsuit was the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA), a trade group of video game retailers and rental firms. The new law fines retail clerks who break the ban $1,000, and forces retail chains in California to more prominently display video game ratings in their stores. The governor responded to the lawsuit in a statement. "I will do everything in my power to preserve this new law and I urge the Attorney General to mount a vigorous defense of California's ability to prevent the sale of these games to children," said Schwarzenegger.

o Sen. McCain to Press for Late 2006/Early 2007 Digital TV Transition

Washington - Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on Tuesday that he will pressure fellow lawmakers to speed up the U.S. transition to digital TV broadcasting, lobbying for an analog shut-off date by the end of 2006 or early 2007, Reuters reported. The Commerce Committee, which has proposed an April 2009 timetable, is scheduled to vote on a date for the digital TV transition on Thursday. Lawmakers are eager to free up analog spectrum for emergency communication services, and also to reap billions for the government from the auction of spectrum to wireless companies. "Can we really afford to wait until 2009 before we go ahead and transfer this spectrum?" McCain said at a New America Foundation forum. "I believe the transition can be made by [early 2007]." The main roadblock to the transition is that current law states that 85% of consumers in a given market must have the expensive televisions necessary to receive digital signals before broadcasters can shut off their analog signals.

o Apple Seeks 10% Royalty on iPod Electronic Accessories

San Francisco - Accessories makers for Apple's iPod are now required to pay Apple royalties for the right to sell their car stereo adapters, portable speakers or other electrical-powered add-ons for the music player, CNET News.com reported on Tuesday. "Yes, the electrical connection has specifications around that and licensing around that, and the way you get that assistance and information and licensing is through the 'Made for iPod' program," Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller told News.com. A source familiar with the "Made for iPod" licensing scheme told News.com that Apple is now seeking a mandatory royalty, on the order of 10% of a device's wholesale price. In return for the sizable cut of their revenues on iPod accessories, Apple told manufacturers it will ensure future iPods continue to support their products through a universal docking connection.

o Report: MP3 Players to Lead 9% Rise in Holiday Consumer Electronics Sales

Arlington, Va. - The consumer electronics industry expects to see a 9% increase in sales revenue during the upcoming holiday season, with MP3 players topping both the gift-giving and gift wish lists of the 1,000 adults surveyed by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) trade group. "Despite concern about the overall economy, consumers intend to purchase, as well as hope to receive, a plethora of consumer electronics gifts this holiday season," said CEA director of industry analysis Sean Wargo. "More, our survey indicates that retailers and consumers alike will be humming a happy tune entering the New Year, as results show the MP3 player is going to be one of the hottest sellers." Consumer interest in buying a portable MP3 player has increased from 20% in 2004 to 28% this year; revenues from sales of MP3 players are already up 105% so far this year.

o Nintendo, Wayport Team on Free Wi-Fi for DS Users at McDonald's

Redmond, Wash. - Nintendo of America announced on Tuesday that it will bring free Wi-Fi wireless broadband Internet access to Nintendo DS users at some 6,000 U.S. McDonald's restaurants, though an agreement with Wi-Fi provider Wayport. The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, which allows DS owners to log on for multiplayer gameplay, is slated to launch on Nov. 14. "Beginning with free access at participating McDonald's, we have removed one of the major barriers that have kept people from going online to play games," said Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America. In addition to the DS, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service will also be compatible with Nintendo's forthcoming next-generation video game console, codenamed "Revolution," which is scheduled for release in 2006.

o China's Linktone Acquires Majority Stake in Digital Music Retailer 9Sky

Shanghai - Linktone, a distributor of wireless entertainment services in China, announced on Tuesday that it has made an undisclosed investment and acquired a majority stake in 9Sky International, a Chinese digital music retailer. Under the terms of the transaction, Linktone has the option to acquire 9Sky outright over the next two years. 9Sky has licensing agreements with Sony BMG and EMI, among other labels, to sell full-track music downloads. "Given recent crackdowns on pirated websites and search engines facilitating access to those websites and trends among consumers who are increasingly willing to pay for licensed services, we believe that the market for the licensing and the sale of music download services is at its early stages of growth and it is the right time for Linktone to enter this promising market," said Linktone CEO Raymond Yang. Linktone said it plans to leverage 9Sky's brand strength in the music download market with its own wireless presence, and integrate 9Sky's services with its own wireless music offerings.
