After selling over 100 million units, Sony is ending production of the original Playstation 1 consoles. Sony says the Playstation 3 will still be backwards compatible for PS1 games. They also plan to release a software emulator that will allow gamers to play the original PS1 games on their PSP.

The US Government has publically declared their support for Apple, against the French, citing they “compliment [Apple] because we need for companies to also stand up for their intellectual property rights”.

From the article, “We assume this will continue to escalate, and it’ll only be a matter of days before French students start burning iPods in the streets and Americans retaliate by torching Archos Gminis. And it looks like the cafeteria in Cupertino will have to start serving iToast for breakfast.”

GG France.
