  • PS2 price cut to L199 in Europe  - Sony is expected to cut the price of the PlayStation 2 in Europe at last. The console will drop from L249 to L199 in a move which brings the hardware price in line with the Xbox and GameCube. The price cut should take effect on Friday and follows a drop to $179 in the USA, announced at E3 last week. However the latter is a stock-clearing incentive designed to clear shelves for the arrival of the new PS2 which will appear at $199 with the network adapter. TheRegister assumes the move to L199 will also bring the PS2 in line with the Cube and Xbox in the UK, with a L129 price point - although those in the Eurozone might be a little miffed at this, given that the current currency values would mean that the UK is getting the console significantly cheaper than the rest of Europe.
  • Videogames Group to Challenge Washington State Law - Washington State Gov. Gary Locke signed a bill on Tuesday making it illegal to sell or rent video games to minors that depict violence against law enforcement officers -- a move that an industry trade group immediately said it would challenge in court.  The bill, signed into law by the Democratic governor, calls for $500 fines to be imposed on anyone who sells or rents a game depicting violence against police to customers under the age of 17. The Interactive Digital Software Association, the trade group for the U.S. video game industry, said in a statement it would go to court to seek an injunction against enforcement of the law. The IDSA said the law violates First Amendment guarantees of free speech.
  • GPS data could stop wireless network attacks  - A new danger to wireless network security has been revealed by a team of US computer researchers. A so-called "wormhole attack" could be used to knock a vulnerable network out of action or defeat a wireless authentication system. But the same researchers that discovered the threat have also devised a radical scheme designed to counter it, involving tagging packets with GPS information or timestamps. In a wormhole attack, an intruder would intercept wireless data packets travelling across one part of a network and quickly re-insert them at another physical point on the network.

  • Athlon XP 3200+ Debuts 400-MHz Bus  - The 3200+ delivers an effective FSB speed of 400 MHz, compared with 333 MHz for its predecessor. That's still a far cry from the 800-MHz FSB of Intel's 3.0-GHz Pentium 4 chip. But the 3200+ does have at its disposal a peppy new chipset-the nVidia nForce2 Ultra 400-which brings support for dual-channel DDR 400 SDRAM.

  • EPoX EP-8RDA3+ nForce2 Ultra 400 review - Hexus has posted a review on the EPoX EP-8RDA3+ nForce2 Ultra 400  - The 8RDA3+ is still an excellent foundation on which to build an AMD powerhouse of a system. Its considerable merits outweigh the slight qualms we may have. It's fast, it's stable, and it literally begs to be overclocked. Pricing seems keen too. We've seen it available for less than Ł100 delivered. That's good value considering exactly what you'll be getting for your hard-earned cash. It seems as if EPoX can do little wrong with their nForce2 boards. Recommended.
