EA Launches AOL Sports Trivia Game Show

5:40AM Kotaku US Edition | Electronic Arts is partnering with AOL Sports on an online sports trivia game called EA Sports GameShow, which will add daily live-hosted sports trivia sessions to AOL Sports’ online content. EA says the programming will get daily updates, plus an interactive “FanHouse Challenge Hour” on Mondays. Users can compete against one another on text, audio and video-based sports trivia questions. The flash-based trivia show is online at eagameshow.com. Both companies highlight the “live interactive” angle here, but if you don’t like sports, you won’t like the game show. Nor will you like this post, in which the word “sports” appears no less than nine disparate times — ten, if you count the headline. Full release follows the jump. More »

Sign Up for AOL, Get a Free PS3, Ratchet & Clank

1:00AM Brian Crecente | AOL is giving away a 40GB Playstation 3 with a copy of Ratchet and Clank Future and a wireless SixAxis controller to customers who sign a two-year contract for AOL Broadband Wireless Plus. The 24-month contract also requires you to sign up for AOL Talk call plan (not sure what that is) and runs £19.99 a month. Once you stick around for 24 months you can keep your PS3 forever. The only catch, besides the ironclad two-year contract, is that you have to pay a deliver charge of £14.99 for the console, controller and game. Not a bad Christmas present, especially since it comes with Ratchet and Clank. Judging by the price and location of the source, I suspect this is a UK only deal.
