The week maybe coming to a close on this Friday the 13th, but for Stern Pinball and Monsoon Multimedia things are just getting started. Stern Pinball and Disney have teamed up to bring TRON: Legacy Pinball to pinball fans and movie goers alike. CNET recently featured TRON: Legacy on CRAVE saying "The playfield features light cycles, deadly discs, and other notable imagery from the film. The audio doesn't slouch either, as the original Daft Punk soundtrack and character sound clips emit during gameplay." The rest of the article can be found here. We often hear about how smartphones continue to sell in astonishing numbers in the U.S., but smartphones are also popular all over the world, especially in Japan and Asia. Monsoon Multimedia, a leading provider of video convergence products, recognizes that growth and announced a partnership with top-tier computer peripherals and interface product manufacturer I-O DATA to bring one of Monsoon's products, the Vulkano Flow, to consumers in Japan.
