Just found the following story and thought I'd pass it on by starting a thread for potential news submissions. (If this would be at all useful?)
"Microsoft to buy 3D webcam company for use with immersive Xbox 360 games?"

Interesting to say the least nice find.
Yep, this is a great idea. I saw this yesterday, but skimmed it. I'll take a look now. Ta.

Did you get the email I sent you on that 5 day trial for GTA IV on Steam, Pat? I forwarded it to you.

Bonfire Studios Emerges From Ensemble
DALLAS, Texas - February 19, 2009 – The second company to emerge from the former Ensemble Studios was announced today. Bonfire Studios is a 35 person studio currently working on an original IP to be announced in the coming months. The Bonfire team is made up entirely of former Ensemble employees fresh off of the highly anticipated Halo Wars.
“Ensemble had an incredible group of highly talented people and the companies coming out of it are really made up of the best of the best. Ensemble was one of the few studios with two A-teams,” said David Rippy, president and CEO of Bonfire Studios. “We are already working on an original IP that we’ll start talking about in the next few months.”
The company is built on over a decade of experience gained making award-winning real-time strategy games that have defined the genre. Bonfire’s management team has a reputation for being a strong partner for publishers seeking high-quality production and original titles.

Robert Bowling, Community Manager at Infinity Ward, has just posted on his twitter that he is testing out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II with a mate of his. The tweet includes a small, but very blurry pic of the game being tested by the members of the IW team.

Johnny - I did get it, yeah. I was a bit late on it, tbh. Sorry.
Hackers target Xbox Live players
The attackers are employing data flooding tools that have been used against websites for many years.
Microsoft is "investigating" the use of the tools and said those caught using them would be banned from Xbox Live.
"There's been a definite increase in the amount of people talking about and distributing these things over the last three to four weeks," said Chris Boyd, director of malware research at Facetime Communications.
Oooh, cheers.
Done that one.
Whoo :)
Johnny - I did get it, yeah. I was a bit late on it, tbh. Sorry.

Oh and by the by, I just got a patch update for GTA IV.
This something for the blood?
Yeah, most likely.

We are just under a month from Resistance: Retribution hitting store shelves which means - we went gold last week! The Bend Studio is really excited to be able to share the final game with you PlayStation.Blog readers. We’ve been out on the road the past few months hitting shows like CES, and most recently New York Comic Con where we ran into the writer and artist for the Resistance Comic Books. Someone found a camera and I asked them a few questions. Check out the video below.
