Square Enix Preparing for 'All the Bravest'[teaser]Domain and trademark registration reveal new possibilities.[/teaser] Domains allthebravest.com and allthebravest.net are now in the hands of Japanese publisher and developer, Square Enix. Sadly, no other details have yet come to life, leaving 'All the Bravest' open to speculation. Speculation includes not simply an all together new project, but also currently coveted (by Western gamers) possible Western debut of the recently released 3DS title 'Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.' With the trademark information currently only relating to Europe, North America 3DS owners may face of the prospect of a continued inability to play the game, even after a Europe release. Language issues aside, the 3DS, unlike many of its predecessors, is region locked. Source: JoystiqPosted Mon Dec 3, 2012 at 09:30 AM PST by: -
Mitsuibishi Announces the End of its TV Business[teaser]And since Mitsubishi was the only company making them, this is also the end of consumer DLPs. [/teaser] Mitsubishi has, for years now, been the one holdout when it comes to DLP sets. Long after other manufacturers began to focus on LCD and plasma, Mitsubishi was making DLP sets, some of which still have no size match from any display. They also beat LCD and plasma sets significantly on the price front. It gave folks the choice between, say, a 55 inch LCD and an 80 inch DLP. Mitsubishi has announced that it will be leaving the TV market to focus on more profitable but less outwardly visible venues. The company will still be making home theater projectors as well as commercial displays. The Mitsubishi TVs available now in stores and online may be the last you ever see – if you're a DLP fan, now's the time to drop some cash.
