Sony's Final Boss of Computing Entertainment Europe, David Reeves, is saying that the non-gaming apps being set-up for Home have delayed its launch and that it was all too ambitious. They were looking for marquee sponsorship from products like Nike and Adidas, but have changed their minds finding that those companies were interested in fashion first, gaming second.

"It is definitely coming out in autumn," said Reeves. "Whether that's October or November, I don't precisely know, but it is an open beta."

Just say Novober. We already know you're pulling dates out of thin air.

Last week we let you in on Bioware and EA's plans to place annoying copy protection on PC titles. The plan called for buyers of Mass Effect and Spore to submit to a check of the validity of their disc every ten days or so.

Today, both companies have changed their minds. When Mass Effect comes out on May 27th, it will be verified only when downloading new content, and Spore will require validation only on a patch or game content update. Both games will be playable without their disc in the drive.

Makes sense. Problem solved. Move along.

We all know that downloadable content exclusive to the 360 is coming maybe this fall for Grand Theft Auto IV... but what will the content consist of?

Maybe, just maybe, it will be set in San Andreas. The DLC is said to consist of entire cities, and if so, San Andreas is a logical choice. There's that, and the below plane ticket a user of the GTA Social Club site found:

Looks like a ticket to San Andreas issued to one Niko Bellic. Hmmm...interesting.
