Sydney, 15 April 2010:  Three new, cost cutting plans for home phone and broadband are now available from engin (ASX:ENG). The Ignition bundles, from the leading provider of innovative pricing and service packages in the Australian VoIP market, were designed specifically to provide generous call levels and data allowances to cut customers’ telecoms bills.

The launch of the VoIP Ignition 69, 89 and 109 Plans extends broadband access with a data quota which can be used at anytime – there are no peak/off-peak limitations. And, with engin, only downloads are metered, any uploads are excluded from the monthly data quota. 

All three Ignition Plans provide unlimited local and national VoIP calls across Australia. engin Plans also boast highly competitive rates for international calls (for a full list of international destinations please click here).

The mid-range Ignition 89 Plan, catering to the telecoms needs of the typical Australian household, is pitched as a marketplace winner on all counts: price, allowances and capacity.  It provides 25 GB of data and unlimited mobile, local and national calls, all within the $89 monthly fee.

The VoIP Ignition 109 Plan provides 40 GB of data and unlimited mobile, local and national calls for the $109 monthly fee.

With the 24 month contract on each plan, engin offers amazing value with $0 connection fees, 4-port modem/router and Voicebox included. All plans can be changed at any time.

Greg Crameri, Residential Marketing Manager for engin, said: “Not only are we offering incredibly competitive pricing, but we have tripled our coverage across urban and regional Australia.
“Australians are making greater use of all types of phone services, are using increasing amounts of data and want much more competitive pricing.  If you look at the data needs of the average family with a couple of teenagers our Ignition 89 Plan is unbeatable.”

To further assist home users in their move to VoIP, engin has a dedicated Australian based support team.

Two new box sets are available to own on DVD  from 2 June 2010: 

CLINT EASTWOOD ACTION COLLECTION

$34.95RRP

Firefox, Heartbreak Ridge,

Kelly’s Heroes, and Where Eagles Dare.

CLINT EASTWOOD DIRECTOR’S COLLECTION:

$44.95

Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima,

Mystic River and Unforgiven.

Both box sets include The Eastwood Factor,
an intimate short film from Richard Schickel offering a
rare personal look at Eastwood.

A selection of Clint Eastwood titles will also be promoted  for a limited time on BLU-RAY and DVD, each with a fresh new look.

A complete list is available at the end of this release.

Four of these titles will also debut on

BLU-RAY for $19.95RRP:

Where Eagles Dare, Absolute Power, Kelly’s Heroes and The Rookie.

Clint Eastwood’s illustrious motion picture career has spanned more than a half century and has touched generations of filmgoers. The filmmaker/actor has won five Academy Awards^®, and his films have grossed nearly $2 billion at the domestic box office. Warner Home Video (WHV) will celebrate Eastwood and his 35-year association with the studio through Malpaso Productions with two new box set offerings – action and director’s Collections – plus a range of promoted titles, four of which will debut on Blu-ray for first time ever!

The action collection contains four early Eastwood films from the Warner library and highlights his earlier work – Firefox, Heartbreak Ridge, Kelly’s Heroes, and Where Eagles Dare.

The director’s collection contains four iconic films directed by Eastwood – Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Mystic River and Unforgiven.

Both box sets include The Eastwood Factor, an intimate short film from Time magazine critic and film historian Richard Schickel. The Eastwood Factor presents Eastwood in a way he’s rarely seen – visiting film locations or sites where his movies were created, and on the Warner lot visiting the costume department and Eastwood Scoring Stage, as well as at his home. Eastwood’s candid, intelligent and often humorous interviews about his body of work and the choices he made, along with Schickel’s selection of scenes from his movies (including his upcoming Invictus), results in an up-close and personal portrait of one of the great icons of our era. The end result is a clear reminder of why Eastwood’s career as both a great filmmaker and actor has been so enduring and his work so respected.

“I’ve known Clint for most of the time he’s been at Warner Bros.,” said Schickel. “I was fortunate to be able to wander around the Warner lot with him and hear his reminiscences. To be able to show him in the places where he works and lives and feels most comfortable is, I think, a unique opportunity.”

Select titles will also be available for download via iTunes, Xbox Live and other digital retailers.

The full 288-page book from Richard Schickel, entitled Clint: A Retrospective, will be published at the end of early March by Sterling Publishing Inc. This definitive appraisal contains 325 photographs, meticulously researched from Warner Bros.’ files and other key image archives. It is Schickel’s homage to the actor who, Schickel says, has most inspired him as a critic over the years. Eastwood himself provides an introduction. A 20-minute version of the full-length documentary will accompany the book, which will also be released in all English-speaking territories overseas.

In making the announcement, Jeff Baker, WHV’s Executive VP and General Manager, Theatrical Catalogue said, “There is not much you can say that hasn’t already been said about this amazingly talented man. We are so proud to have had such a longstanding association with Clint, and we’re delighted to be releasing these collections so both loyal fans and those newly discovering Clint can enjoy his wonderful body of work.”

Eastwood’s relationship with Warner Bros. began in 1975 with the signing of a long-term pact, and Eastwood’s Malpaso Productions moved onto the studio’s storied lot. Among the many awards the actor/filmmaker has received for his work are four Oscars^® and 11 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director Academy Award^® wins for Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, both of which were made at Warner Bros. Eastwood has also received five Golden Globes^®, countless critics association accolades and Lifetime Achievement awards from, among others, the Directors Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild, the American Film Institute and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (Cecil B. DeMille Award). In addition, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented him with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. Recently, Eastwood was made a commander in the prestigious French Legion of Honor (Légion d’honneur), cited for his “body of work, his longevity and his ability to delight audiences around the globe.”

Early in his career, Eastwood starred as the “Man with No Name” in A Fistful of Dollars, his first “spaghetti western,” which was a box office success and drew attention to the young actor. Additional roles followed, including the role of Harry Callahan in five “Dirty Harry” films, beginning in 1971. That same year, he made his directorial debut with Play Misty for Me. Other noted Eastwood films include the Charlie Parker biography Bird; The Bridges of Madison County; In the Line of Fire; Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil; White Hunter, Black Heart; Absolute Power; Space Cowboys; Mystic River; Flags of Our Fathers; Letters from Iwo Jima; and, most recently, Gran Torino. His newest film, Invictus, stars Oscar^® winners Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon in the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with Francois Pienaar, captain of South Africa’s rugby team, to help unite their country.

ASUS continues to celebrate the marriage of environmental responsibility, advanced technology and great value with Bravo220, an innovative home entertainment PC card that rejuvenates the very essence of spectacular multimedia. 

Sydney, Australia, 15 April 2010 – With Bravo220, ASUS has created a capable solution to sit at the core of advanced home entertainment PCs, providing cutting-edge visual fidelity while maintaining an eco-minded profile. As such, the Bravo220 symbolises the ASUS commitment to innovation, green principles and superlative entertainment.

Applauding conservation with 21% power-savings and 0dB cooling

The Bravo220 was designed with energy savings in mind. Its thermal landscape balances thrifty operation with the need for uncompromising performance as a multimedia anchor, resulting in 21% better power efficiency compared to competing models. The cooling solution also boats silent 0dB operation, with no fans needed. Instead, Bravo220 uses oversized heatsinks and advanced materials to ensure quick heat dissipation and greater longevity, without falling back on power-hungry active cooling.

The integrated EMI shield reduces emissions, thus safeguarding users and PC components from any potential harm. Likewise, sturdy fuse protection guarantees longer-lasting operation for this component even in the face of fluctuating power supplies. This is part of Bravo220’s environmental stance, reflected in the chic green cooler attachment.

Optimised visual enjoyment with Splendid Plus

Bravo220 cards work in tandem with the exclusive ASUS Splendid Plus technology, an intelligent image enhancement suite. Splendid Plus automatically optimises video content, reacting to ambient conditions when adjusting brightness, colour and contrast, just like the human eye does.

The Splendid suite works with a huge range of media formats, a perfect trait for a card that coordinates complete home entertainment setups. For each media format, Splendid works its magic, reducing noise and artifacts while improving conversion rates. The result is a sharper, clearer and more vivid image.

Selectable presets help users pinpoint the best visual performance configuration, based on their needs and environment: gaming, theatre, vivid color and auto cover every usage type.

Bravo Media Centre: at the centre of it all

Bravo220 acts as the centre of a PC-based entertainment system. That’s why ASUS developed the Bravo Media Center interface, an intuitive and solid user package that covers every card feature with easy to pick up access. Most important entertainment features can be accessed from the ergonomic remote control, which is included with the card.

Bravo220 enables seamless multimedia fun for everyone, with a feeling that’s the same as on a high-end consumer A/V setup.

Specifications are subject to change without prior notice. Please visit www.asus.com for more details.
