During my discussions with Michael Bender from Ster Kinekor last week it was mentioned that SK are now proud to announce that the PlayStation brand has secured 50% of the local gaming market. After a brief yet bizarre miscommunication over who distributes what it was clarified that the 50% share includes the PS3, PS2 and PSP. Unfortunately exact market share …
Last Friday I had the pleasure of chatting to Michael Bender, Group Marketing Director of SterKinekor Entertainment, about a number of things including the availability of the PSPGo locally.

Ster Kinekor seem to be making the news for all the wrong reasons at the moment. But these things go in waves and hopefully this is the last of the rumours for now. I have been reliably informed* that SK may be losing another license in South Africa and if the large image above hasn’t given it away then it’s …
Bad news for the local Killzone 2 fans, the local release date has apparently been pushed back by 7 days. Most of the local online retailers now have an ETA for Killzone 2 of the 6th of March 2009. We haven’t received any official reason for the delay from SterKinekor at this time but to be honest I don’t there …
