Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The game console wars are hotting up again with the all important holiday season ahead. Microsoft have fired a new salvo with a new packaging of the Xbox 360 including two free games, Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
Dropping the price, bringing out new configurations and launching Halo 3 upon the gaming world does not seem to be enough pressure from Microsoft against its competitors.
Sony have confirmed the new cheaper 40GB PlayStation 3 will hit the market soon, in PAL territories at least.
Adding the production car racing game Forza Motorsport 2 as well as the comic battle styling of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance to their U.S. bundles, Microsoft are stamping the Xbox 360 as a gaming machine for consideration by holiday consumers.
Both games will appear in bundles for the standard Pro and Elite editions at US$349 and US$449 respectively.
Meanwhile rumours of the demise of the Core Xbox 360 in favour of an Xbox 360 Arcade System continue to flourish.
In essence the rumours point to a US$279 system being release before years end. This box would be a low end machine featuring no Hard Drive (but with a 256MB memory card), wireless controller and free Xbox Live titles possibly pre-installed.
At this point there has been no confirmation of the system by Microsoft.
