VOD : Heroes en VOST 24h après diffusion américaine

TF1 Vision, le service de vidéo à la demande de la première chaîne, annonce aujourd'hui que les épisodes de la saison 2 de la série Heroes seront proposés en streaming payant moins de 24 heures après leur diffusion aux Etats-Unis sur la chaîne NBC. Enfin une alternative au téléchargement illégal pour les amateurs de séries qui ne peuvent attendre que leurs productions préférées traversent l'Atlantique ?

Baptisée « Vidéo à la demande Premium », cette offre « constitue une alternative indiscutable aux échanges de fichiers pirates sur Internet », explique Pierre Brossard, PDG de TF1 Video. Alors que de nombreux internautes traquent le moindre épisode de leur série préférée sur les réseaux P2P dès sa diffusion outre-Atlantique et se jettent sur le premier fichier venu, quitte à souffrir d'une désynchronisation du son et de l'image ou d'une traduction approximative, elle leur permettra effectivement de disposer, sans attendre plus d'une journée, d'une vidéo de bonne qualité et d'un sous-titrage de qualité professionnelle. TF1 évoque un prix minimum de 1,99 euro par épisode, que l'on atteindra sans doute en profitant d'offres groupées en réunissant plusieurs.

L'impatience des téléspectateurs en matière de séries pose en effet un véritable problème aux chaines européennes, qui achètent à prix d'or des productions comme Lost, Heroes ou Prison Break pour les diffuser un an après que les passionnés ont déjà vu la saison en intégralité. La vidéo à la demande remplacera-t-elle les échanges illégaux dans le coeur des internautes ?

"Damn, that's one fine ass printer you've got sitting on your desk" isn't a phrase you hear from guests too often -- if ever -- but we'll bet francs to frites that Samsung's new ML-1631K and SCX-4501K 'Bordeaux'-branded models will draw more than their fair share of oohs and aahs sitting next to your rig. With all the info on these laser printers frustratingly confined to Korean, we're hard up to tell you even one damn spec about them save for their thicknesses (12 and 16.5 centimeters, respectively), so forget all that PPM and DPI jazz you'd normally be expecting. Instead, sit back and take in one of the first attempts we've seen in a long time to give the office workhorse a much needed makeover; you listening, HP? More pics after the break....

[Thanks, Jayoung R. and Soonam K.]

sony1.jpg What comes after W, K, Cyber-shot and Bravia? It's not a Mensa code, but the aforementioned are the lineup of Sony Ericsson phones. And if we go by what the PS gaming boss Peter Ahnegard says, then we could be holding a PlayStation-branded gaming phone in our hands sooner than we think. We are not sure if its coming this Christmas or not, but rest assured when the phone arrives, we will be more than glad to welcome it. Source

Finally, they have announced a Darth Vader Transformer, but unfortunately, he only turns into the Death Star. First picture in gallery.

We never believed the Millenium Falcon/Chewbacca Transformer could ever reign supreme. But Darth Vader, oh man. Not only does he still have his light saber, but when he transforms, he turns into the goddamn Death Star
