Need for Speed SHIFT is an award-winning authentic racing game that combines the true driver’s experience with real-world physics, pixel-perfect car models, and a wide range of authentic race tracks. Need for Speed SHIFT takes players in a different direction to create a simulation experience that replicates the true feeling of driving high-end performance cars.

Players are thrust into the loud, visceral, intense, athletic experience of racing a car on the edge of control from the driver’s perspective through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the brutal experience of a first person crash dynamic. Need for Speed SHIFT features an accurate, accessible physics-based driving model that allows you to feel every impact, every change of track surface and every last bit of grip as you push yourself to the edge.

The all-new driver profile is the ultimate extension of the true driver’s experience. This system gives each player a unique persona based on a player’s driving skill and style - aggressive or precise. Driver profile impacts how a player unlocks cars, overall career progression and online matchmaking. In Need for Speed SHIFT, how you drive is who you are behind the wheel.

Championship Manager 2010

GENERAL INFO

TITLE: Championship Manager 2010
GENRE: Sport
PLATFORM: PC
DEVELOPER: Beautiful Game Studios
US PUBLISHER: N/A
UK PUBLISHER: Eidos Interactive
NORDIC PUBLISHER: Eidos Interactive
ONLINE PLAY: No

Championship Manager 09 has dramatically improved navigation for the user and the game features an entirely new fully animated 3D match engine. Designed and developed to reflect and enhance a management experience, the engine uses over 500 motion-captured animations per player and has been built and developed specifically for a PC football management simulation.

PS3, Xbox 360 finally outsell Wii--in U.S., anyway

As expected, recent price cuts to the PS3 and Xbox 360 helped boost sales of the two consoles, and a strong showing for both helped propel them past the Wii in the weekly American sales tally. As you can see from the numbers, it's not a huge win, but the price cuts only went into effect in the middle of the week, so we may see a bigger margin of victory next week.

Sony is the big winner. It saw sales of the PS3 jump 104 percent over the previous week, while the Xbox 360's sales spiked 32 percent. Overall, however, it's worth pointing out that the Wii has the lead in terms of worldwide sales and the DS is still king in the U.S. (The PSP also had a nice jump, but that appears to be attributable to the special Dissidia Final Fantasy bundle that went on sale recently).

On a personal note, I picked up a PS3 Slim Thursday at a GameStop in New York. When I asked the salesperson how sales were going on the Slim and Xbox 360, she said both saw big sales last week (especially from preorders on the Slim), but that things had slowed down this week. Interestingly, she said her store's stock of "fat" $299 PS3s was gone. Who bought them? Mainly foreigners who were visiting New York and couldn't wait for the Slim to arrive.

Looking ahead, I think both the PS3 and Xbox 360 will see decent--but not necessarily spectacular--sales over the next couple of months. A lot of people who were waiting for the price cuts will go out and buy systems quickly, but the next big wave of sales will come closer to the holidays.

What do you think? Will Sony and Microsoft will be able to hold a lead over Nintendo? Who will be on top this holiday season?

****THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN UPDATED FOR THE NEW ULTRASN0W UNLOCK THAT WORKS ON THE 3.0 FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON THE 2.2 FIRMWARE THIS TUTORIAL WILL STILL WORK; HOWEVER WE RECOMMEND YOU UPDATE TO 3.0 AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS****

These are instructions on how to software unlock the iPhone 3G for use with any GSM cellphone carrier.

Before you can follow these instructions you must have a jailbroken iPhone and you must be on the 02.28.00 baseband(modem firmware). This means that you must be running the 2.2 firmware or have used PwnageTool(NOT QUICKPWN) to install 2.2.1 without upgrading the baseband.

To find your firmware and modem firmware(baseband) versions you can follow this tutorial. If you are not on baseband version 02.28.00 then you need to follow one of these tutorials before unlocking: Mac, Windows

Step One
Press to launch Cydia Installer from your SpringBoard.

Step Two

Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Three
Press to select the large Sources button

Step Four

Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.

Step Five

Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.

Step Six

Enter http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/ as the source url and press the Add Source button.

***HINTS: It seems that getting your iPhone to pick up your new carrier can be helped by turning off 3G and perhaps toggling the Airplane Mode switch on and off. If you are still having problems try removing and reinserting the SIM or booting with the new SIM already inside.

Finally, you can also try to Reset Network Settings from the Settings:General:Reset Menu.

***IMPORTANT: For those having trouble. The yellowsn0w application can simply be uninstalled. If you have tried all the hints and suggestions and still have problems just use Cydia to remove the package and then reboot. You will then have service with your locked carrier as always.

***THANKS: A big thank you to all the members of the iPhone Dev-Team for all their hard work! It is much appreciated by all.

***UPDATES: The Dev-Team has made yellowsn0w 0.97 available. This version supports the 2.2.1 firmware using the 02.28 baseband.
