"Mark your calendars – this Thursday, November 26th, the next phase of the wildly popular Red Bull Island will be released in PlayStation Home. To complement the existing Red Bull Air Race World Championship mini-game, Red Bull will unleash two brand new spaces that will appeal to sports fans and beach bunnies alike. The first, an exhibition of action and adventure sports photographs from Red Bull Illume.

The winning photograph from each of the competition's ten categories is displayed on large illuminate cubes, imitating the real-life exhibit. The second is a Red Bull Flugtag mini-game where users can compete against one another by launching one of five wild flying machines off of a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight. Think: The Wright Brothers… or that time you and your genius buddies decided to pile into your wagon and take a ride off the roof."

Fighters Inc., a licensing organization representing boxers, filed suit against Electronic Arts in early September this year, claiming that EA illegitimately used fighters' likenesses in the summer video game Fight Night Round 4.

Now, certain Fighters Inc. boxers have filed declarations with a California U.S. District Court supporting a preliminary injunction against the game. But some Fighters Inc. boxers who signed with EA and appeared in Fight Night Round 4 are in the publisher's corner.

Heavyweight fighter Shannon Briggs, Ring Super Bantamweight champ Israel Vazquez, and former boxer Aaron Pryor are among the fighters who signed a group licensing deal with plaintiff Fighters Inc., and who are siding with the group in its complaint against EA. Fighters Inc. says its goal is to "increase the respect, presence, marketing and earning power" of its boxers.
