ONE LINERS: Older Game Systems Topped PS3 & Wii
Friday, January 19, 2007

In what might be a bit of sweet solace for gift givers who didn't get caught up in the hype, the sale of older game consoles topped newer offerings this holiday season, with Sony selling more PlayStation 2s than the much-ballyhooed PS3s and Nintendo moving more of its DS handheld systems than is revolutionary Wii system. (We kept it old school around here and re-gifted our spiffy Pong unit from back in the day). In a related story: Clear Channel Radio and Best Buy today announced last week that the online and on-air auctions of PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii gaming consoles raised $470,000 for Toys for Teens, a program of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation...PropertyRoom announced the appointments of Rob Hagen as CEO and P.J. Bellomo as COO, with the duo tapped to lead the company's expansion efforts with high-volume merchants while maintaining the online-auction company's growth rate...Right on the heels of the StubHub deal, the Sundance Film Festival folks are cracking down on the re-selling of tickets on Ebay at this year's event by remotely deactivating them...Fans of the "Saw" movie franchise will no doubt scream over the "Saw 3" movie online auction set to coincide with the DVD release of "The Saw 3" January 23. (We're pretty sure "Saw 3" was never screened at Sundance, BTW)
