2K sports, EA and Namco Bandai all seem to be having a few issues keeping their PS3 releases up to spec with the Xbox 360 versions. American Football titles All Pro Football 2K8 and EAs Madden and NCAA 08 games are set to run at a thoroughly last gen 30FPS on the Sony machine – half that of the 360 versions.

The LA Daily News reports that Warner Bros is on the hunt for look-alikes for their upcoming Watchmen adaptation.
The list of dopplegangers required includes: Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, H.R. Haldeman, Ted Koppel, John McLaughlin, Annie Liebowitz, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Fidel Castro, Albert Einstein, Norman Rockwell, JFK and Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Mao Tze Tung and Larry King.
Watchmen is set in an alternative 1985, where the US is on the verge on nuclear conflict with the Soviet Union. It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who - with one notable exception - lack anything recognizable as super powers.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying.

Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
