Let the PS3 & amBX light up your life

Time for a little mood lighting....

amBX have announced today that they have established a partnership with SCEI to bring the mood lighting system amBX to gamers. If like me you are fairly unfamiliar with amBX then allow them to explain. 'amBX is a technology that delivers real-world sensory experiences - using light, colour, rumble and even air flow - through licensed amBX peripherals, to the virtual worlds of video games, music, movies, Internet and TV entertainment. '

amBX had this to say on the new partnership,

“This is a major milestone in the development of amBX as a ubiquitous standard for entertainment sensory experiences,” commented Jo Cooke, Chief Marketing Officer, amBX. “amBX has already proved incredibly popular and successful within the PC games, music, movies and apps markets and the Tools & Middleware License agreement with SCEI will allow us to bring amazing light, rumble, sound and air movement experiences to game users.”

If you are still unsure about just what amBX is then a quick trip to ambx.com will sort you right out.

Rumours confirmed as The Sims 3 is officially 'delayed'

Just don't call it a delay....

Well there have been rumours flying around the information highway for some time now that EA's The Sims 3 was to be delayed, the game was initially planned to be released on February 20th however today EA have announced that the game will indeed be pushed back to a worldwide release date of June 2nd 2009. This delay does not really come as a surprise to myself or I am sure yourselves however it is a big disappointment for fans of the series eager to get their hands on the latest open world offering. However it is not all doom and gloom as along with the delay EA were kind enough to provide us with some pretty cool looking box art the downside of which is that we will now have to wait till June before it is sitting on our shelf.

“The June launch combined with the break-through game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3,” said Russell Arons, Vice President of Marketing for EA. “The Sims 3 will be the original IP summer blockbuster of 2009 as we build off the success of the best-selling PC franchise of all time to create awareness with both loyal Sims fans and new players.”

And just in case all that was not rubbing it in enough they have also released a new trailer to,

A) Wet your appetite B) Despise EA for news on the delay

Either way enjoy,
