ONE GIANT LEAP FOR ZOMBIE-KIND ON THE MOON: ACTIVISION AND TREYARCH LAUNCH CALL OF DUTY®: BLACK OPS REZURRECTION
TO ERRADICATE THE INFESTATION

The Undead Onslaught Culminates With the All-New Level “Moon,” Four Remastered Classic Zombies Maps, Enhanced Zombies Soundtrack and New Zombies Theme

Sydney, Australia – August 24, 2011 – Call of Duty® gamers leave earth’s atmosphere today with the release of Rezurrection, the fourth downloadable content pack on Xbox 360® for the best-selling first-person-shooter title, Call of Duty®: Black Ops. Rezurrection’s stellar payload features the never-before-seen Zombie frag-fest Moon, as well as four re-mastered levels from Zombies past, an enhanced Zombies soundtrack and new Moon theme.

Meanwhile, bolstered with the firepower and visual splendour of Black Ops, players can relive the nightmare of “Nacht der Üntoten,” escape the Zombie madness in the asylum of “Verrückt,” battle back the undead Imperial Army of “Shi No Numa,” and pull the plug on “Der Riese,” the zombie factory that started it all.
“Our Zombies fans are so incredibly engaged with us in the ongoing development of the franchise, and we’re excited to deliver them our first all-Zombies content package,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “Rezurrection is Zombies nirvana, with four of our best Zombies experiences, topped off with the awesome, all-new level Moon.”

Once Rezurrection is downloaded, Black Ops will make available a free Zombies soundtrack with three tracks never before available for purchase, and a free Moon theme. For our fans who purchased the Black Ops Hardened or Prestige Editions and have already downloaded the Classic Zombie pack with re-mastered maps, the pack can be redownloaded to get Rezurrection with Moon; and Black Ops will make available the soundtrack and theme for free.

Additionally, the team at Treyarch has once again partnered with avid Call of Duty fans and rock superstars, Avenged Sevenfold, to feature their classic track, Nightmare, in the “Moon” level of the Rezurrection map pack.

To mark the release of Rezurrection and help kick off the first ever Call of Duty fan celebration, Call of Duty XP, this September 2-3, the team will host Double XP over the US Labor Day holiday weekend from Friday, September 2 through Monday, September 5th.

Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), Call of Duty: Black Ops is rated “MA 15+” (Mature Audiences) by the Classification Board.

Acronis First to Combine Online Backup, Local Backup and File Sync for Better Computing Experience

Sydney, 24 August 2011 — Backup and recovery specialist Acronis is today launching Acronis® True Image™ Home 2012, the latest version of its multi award-winning consumer software. In a move that promises to shake up the market, Acronis is the first to combine online backup, local backup and file synchronisation in one product, not only protecting home PCs but also giving home users easy access to their digital lives, wherever they are, whenever they want.

Acronis True Image Home 2012 brings together Acronis’ established, easy-to-use disk imaging backup and recovery technology with file synchronisation. The software allows home users to sync their files no matter where they are stored – PC, USBs, NAS, as well as in the cloud via Acronis® True Image™ Online. If a change is made in one location, it is automatically updated in others, meaning home users can access their most up-to-date data anywhere, any time. Consumers can also share data securely with their family and friends.

Until now, file synchronisation technology has been found in dedicated file sync products but not in disk imaging backup products, which are used to capture an entire PC, including the operating system, applications and files for fast and reliable recovery. Acronis True Image Home 2012 offers all these technologies in one easy-to-use solution.

The file sync is as simple as setting up a folder (similar to My Documents) and placing data in that folder. The information is automatically transferred and available between the different locations that the user wants to access. Home users can also choose to sync their data securely with family and friends with Acronis True Image Home 2012 installed on their PCs and laptops. Synchronisation is easy via a home network or over the internet.

“Since 2002, we’ve been trusted by home users worldwide to protect their most valuable information. We’ve built a strong user base that provides us with excellent feedback to further enhance our products,” explains Karl Sice, General Manager, Pacific of Acronis.

“With the new version, we’ve thought beyond traditional backup features to really give people an easier computing experience. People have spent years saving their files to flash drives or emailing themselves the latest version of their documents and it’s messy and ineffective. Our latest developments will enable home users to take that extra leap, from hoping you have the latest version to knowing that you do.”

“The product is very simple to install, very fast, responsive and is really easy to use,” said beta tester Phil Coats. “I found that the ‘Get Started Tutorials’ were easy to understand. Logging also gets a big thumbs up!”

Other new or improved features in the product include:

New: Extended support large disks (2TB+)
Improved: Acronis® Nonstop Backup™ now compatible with NAS, plus better optimised network load
Improved: Enhanced NAS support
Improved: Enhanced GUI

Sydney, 23 August, 2011: Canon Australia today announced two super slim additions to the popular Canon Digital Camera range: the 8x Optical Zoom IXUS 230 HS and – the world’s slimmest 12x Optical Zoom digital camera1 – the IXUS 1100 HS.

Adding to the high zoom performance in a compact camera, the new IXUS models introduce Canon’s latest advancement in Image Stabiliser (IS) technology – the Intelligent Image Stabiliser. At the press of a shutter button, the camera automatically selects the optimum IS for each scene, recognising a selection of six scenes: normal photos, macro shooting, shooting while walking, using a tripod, panning and importantly, shooting with a telephoto zoom.

“The Intelligent Image Stabiliser automatically controls blurring by reducing the effects of hand-held camera shake so you can shoot amazing quality photos and video in the most difficult conditions,” says James Lai, Assistant Brand Manager – Digital Cameras, Canon Australia. “This will make a great difference to hand-held shooting results when using the high-zoom range that these compact cameras offer.”

The latest IXUS models in the Canon Digital Camera range also feature Canon’s popular TruCapture technology and Full HD movie recording capabilities. Canon’s TruCapture technology comprises three key technologies: Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS), which cuts hand-held shake for blur-free photos; DIG!C 4 Processor for colour rich images; and a High Sensitivity Sensor for true-to-life images even in low light situations.

TruCapture makes it easy to shoot true-to-life images exactly as they appear to the eye, capturing life’s memories in true colour and true clarity, at the press of a button – especially in low-light conditions. Shots appear crisp and clear, whether in daylight or at night, by suppressing blurring, reducing highlight blowout and loss of detail in shadows, and capturing colours accurately.

Simple and easy – every time
Canon’s Intelligent Auto technology allows users to easily capture the best shot anytime, anywhere by automatically analysing the scene, detecting faces and movement including ‘non-human’ moving objects, lighting conditions, as well as the distance to the main subject. In the new IXUS models, Intelligent Auto recognises up to 32 scenes (an additional four scenes to successor IXUS models) making it possible to capture a wider range of shots easily – a perfect feature for those who want to let the camera do the work.
Stunning Full HD Movies
With Full HD movie recording capabilities at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, users can enjoy sharing movies with the whole family in the highest quality on their TV.

The Movie Digest feature records four seconds of video prior to a photo being taken and then automatically edits the day’s unexpected events into one short Full HD movie. Switching between photo and video recording is quick and easy with the ‘Movie Button’.

The IXUS 1100 HS and IXUS 230 HS
At a slim 21.9mm, the stylishly compact IXUS 1100 HS is the world’s slimmest* 12x Optical Zoom model – allowing you to get closer to the action. It also comes equipped with a 3.2 type (8.1cm) wide intuitive LCD screen, including the new ‘Touch Shutter’ feature, which means you won’t miss those photo opportunities that occur amidst the action. ‘Touch Shutter’ allows you to touch the point on the screen to be photographed (even if the subject moves, focus continues to be tracked), and then shoots when you release your finger.

The IXUS 230 HS has a genuine Canon lens with an 8x Optical Zoom in a slim body. It has TruCapture technology and Full HD movie recording and 3.0 type (7.6cm) LCD screen.

Other new model – PowerShot SX150 IS
Canon today also announced the release of the PowerShot SX150 IS, an upgrade to the PowerShot SX130 IS, which has a powerful 12x Optical Zoom – getting you closer to the action, and 28mm Wide Angle Lens – perfect for capturing beautiful landscape shots. The 14.1 Megapixels with Intelligent Image Stabiliser delivers brilliant quality images at a high zoom.

Loaded with easy functions such as Intelligent Image Stabiliser and Intelligent Auto, the PowerShot SX150 IS is a great camera for even the first time user. With double AA battery power the PowerShot SX150 IS makes it the perfect travel companion so you’ll never miss a moment.

SYDNEY; 23 August, 2011: Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced it will release TWO playable demos for its eagerly awaited PES 2012 title. The demos will be available free for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and Windows PC, and will give PES fans a chance to experience the game early in its development cycle and prior to release.

The first demo will be released on August 24th and will be based on a preview build of the game. While there will be areas that are refined, KONAMI wants PES users to try out the game’s many new Teammate Control elements prior to launch and experience the realism that Active AI brings to PES 2012, and which have been singled out for extensive praise by the media. The demo will also showcase the individuality of the many teams in the game, and users will be able to pick from six teams and their playing styles – Manchester United, AC Milan, FC Porto, S.S.C Napoli, Santos FC, and C.A. Panarol – and pit them against each other in 10-minute matches. The demo will also showcase key Challenge Training elements, where fans can practice the new control systems to fully enjoy the game.

The first PES 2012 demo will not be truly representative of the final game, so KONAMI will issue a second free demo reflecting the final version’s feel and gameplay in mid-September for the same formats. This will also offer 10-minute matches, but with a different team roster of Tottenham Hotspur, FC Bayern Munich, FC Internazionale Milano, Rangers FC, Club America and Sport Club Internacional.

“We have spoken a lot about the new additions to PES 2012, and now we want users to see it for themselves,” explained Jon Murphy, European PES Team Leader. “By releasing a demo for preview purposes, we want people to get in early to try out the Teammate Control elements and to see for themselves how the Active AI works. This will then be followed by a second demo that offers different teams, and a closer approximation of what the final game will play like. We truly value the support and input of our user base – and these demos are so they can see how their help has aided the most ambitious PES to date.”

PES 2012 will be released for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on October 13th. for PlayStation 2 and PSP (PlayStation Portable) on Oct 28th and for Wii on Nov 4th. Dates for iOS and Nintendo 3DS will be announced shortly.

SYDNEY, Australia. — August 23, 2011—Seagate(NASDAQ: STX), today announced GoFlex Satellite™ mobile wireless storage, the first battery-powered external hard drive to wirelessly extend the storage capacity of any Wi-Fienabled mobile device.

With 500GB and Wi-Fi access over 802.11 b/ g/n and a rechargeable battery, this latest member of the GoFlex® familyprovides the ability to carry an entire library of video, music, pictures and documents with you. Devices are wirelessly connected directly to the GoFlex Satellite drive by use of the free GoFlex Media™ app—available now on iTunes, the Apple App Store and Android Market—or a web browser.

“With the growth of the tablet and iPad markets and the larger volumes of high-quality media now being consumed, there is a clear need for access to content that is not plagued with the challenges of streamed video over the Internet,” said BanSeng Teh, senior vice president and managing director of Asia Pacific and Japan, Seagate Technology. “The unfortunate fact is that these popular new mobile devices are hampered by their limited storage capacity while one of their primary functions is that of media consumption.

“With the GoFlex Satellite mobile wireless storage, we wished to create an elegant solution that provides real value to the multitude of tablet users out there by delivering a seamless connection to local storage. No longer will a consumer feel as though it is a compromise to purchase a lower capacity tablet or iPad. With GoFlex Satellite, people will be able to carry their entire media library with them without the need for wires or the web at a fraction of the cost of adding 3G or purchasing or a higher capacity tablet.”

The perfect companion for mobile devices, the GoFlex Satellite is capable of providing hours of entertainment for up to three connections. With a stand-by battery life of up to 25 hours, the powerful lithium polymer battery delivers up to five hours of continuously streaming video. To help with extending battery life, the free GoFlex Media App provides a progressive download feature, which temporarily loads the video on to the Android device it is being streamed to, allowing the drive to go into stand-by mode.

Streaming over the Internet has enabled video access for tablet owners, but the quality is at the mercy of the Internet connection, be it over Wi-Fi or 3G/4G. With more connected devices per hotspot, it’s often difficult to watch video without choppiness or pixilation.Rather than rely on a buffered stream from a distant provider, GoFlex Satellite mobile storage wirelessly serves up media content as a local attached storage for up to three devices at the same time.

GoFlex Media™ App
Available for Apple iOS devices such as iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and any Android devices; the GoFlex Media app provides a seamless way to connect the mobile wireless storage to your mobile devices. Those that currently use an Android smartphone or tablet can access content on a GoFlex Satellite device through its web browser.

Media Sync software
The easy-to-use Media Sync software, also included free with purchase, makes grabbing media from a Windows® PC or Mac® OS X computer a breeze. Wherever the files are stored, whether that is a file structure of your own creation or in an iTunes library, the Media Sync software will load all of your desired music, videos, photos and documents on to the GoFlex Satellite drive. Media Sync is easily configured to only place files on the drive that are compatible with your iOS or Android device. Even music and videos purchased through iTunes can be loaded to the GoFlex Satellite drive and will play on all authorized devices.

Loading Media
For rapid loading of media content, the wireless mobile storage comes equipped with the superfast USB 3.0 cable to get files from your computer to the GoFlex Satellite drive. The USB 3.0 cablewill also continue to work with USB 2.0 ports and is easily removed for portability. In addition to the USB 3.0 cable, the GoFlex Satellite drive comes complete with a car charger and a compact wall charger.
GoFlex Satellite will be widely available from September through select retailers and resellers, for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of AU$219.
