The PS4 won’t be region-locked

The PS4 won't be regionlocked

We know the pricing, a loose holiday release schedule, and now, that the PlayStation 4 won’t be locked-down according to geography. That’s according to Sony Computer Entertainment’s Brad Douglas, who mentioned on Twitter that the company’s new console has “no region locking”, hopefully freeing up the opportunities for import gaming when it arrives later this year.

Update: SCE’s Shuhei Yoshida has now also confirmed the PS4’s global passport.

Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4

Next-generation gaming consoles compete at E3 conference

We’ve still got about five months before the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launch in North America, and already blood has been spilled.

From Microsoft gathering an arguably more impressive stable of exclusive games, to Sony revealing the lack of restrictions on PS4 games and a $100 lower price — effectively, not only kicking the Microsoft brand when its down, but also knocking out a few teeth.

This next console launch may be one of the most exciting and brutal yet, and I can’t wait to comfortably watch from the sidelines, praising Thor I’m not in either of their shoes.

Editors’ note (June 10, 11 p.m. PT): This story has been extensively updated and expanded since its original publication.

Hardware The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 house very similar silicon inside their respective bodies, with a few key differences.

According to an exhaustive analysis by Digital Foundry, the biggest difference between the two systems’ hardware is the type of RAM each uses. The PlayStation 4 uses 8GB GDDR5 RAM, while all signs point to the Xbox One using… [Read more]

Bernie Sanders On NSA Leak Revelations: We’re Heading For An ‘Orwellian Future’

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I.-Vt.) shared some impassioned criticism of NSA surveillance on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” Monday night.

Sanders criticized the “Orwellian” future he sees looming for the United States if it continues to record its citizens’ activities in the name of national security.

The Vermont Senator argued that focusing too much on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden — how he leaked the information and how he’ll be dealt with by the US government — is a distraction from the more fundamental questions raised by his disclosures about the NSA. “The question is what freedom and liberty mean in the United States of America? What does our constitution mean? What kind of country do we want to be?” Sanders said.

LG brings Ubitus’ GameNow cloud gaming to Smart TVs in the US

LG brings Ubitus' GameNow cloud gaming to Smart TVs in beta

LG is more serious about TV gaming than many of its rivals, and it’s proving that today by rolling out Ubitus’ GameNow service to Smart TVs in the US. The cloud gaming portal streams a mix of mostly console-grade titles, such as Devil May Cry 4 and Dead Rising 2; it also includes free trials and support for a handful of gamepads. A free beta is available now, and the two companies are shooting for a full-fledged launch sometime in the “near future.” While it’s unlikely that GameNow will replace a PS4 or Xbox One for truly demanding players, we’ll take the wider game library any day.

Things got a little too wild and a little too real during Tamra’s wild bachelorette fiesta in Mexico on “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” Vicki was clearly having a good time, but she perhaps partied a little too hard — or at least drank a little too much. Perhaps, a lot too much.

“Oh my God. She peed my bed,” Tamra said after Vicki got up the next day. “Oh my God. That’s so disgusting!”

To her credit, Vicki said, “I leaked. I’m gonna own it. I’m not gonna lie about it. I did. Just a little bit. Whatever.”
