If there’s one thing LucasArts was good at, it was getting to know 3rd-party game creators – that’s essentially the base for their entire industry, after all. When you run a gaming company that’s creating games that are (mostly) based in the Star Wars universe, you’ve got to work with a collection of developers – […]
According to Sony, the PlayStation 4 will feature a voice command system which will allow users to control the console by speaking to it—much like the Xbox One’s Kinect-powered system.

If you enjoy playing games or watching movies on your PS3 or other Sony device, you may be interested to hear that Sony has added a fourth option for adding funds to your PlayStation Store digital wallet. Previously the only options were credit card, prepaid gift card, or PayPal. Now you can charge digital content to your mobile phone bill.
That means using your mobile phone and SMS text messages you can purchase additional items such as games, DLC, movies, and TV shows. You can even charge monthly Music Unlimited subscriptions to your phone bill. Sony says that adding funds to your digital wallet from your phone bill will require the user to reply to an SMS text message and text messaging rates will apply.
All charges will be placed on your mobile phone bill in the next payment cycle. Apparently, some prepaid mobile phone services will also support this payment type. This sounds weird until you think about the fact that some people may not want to trust Sony with their credit card information and a lot of people don’t have PayPal accounts.
As of now, the only official bundle Sony will offer for its upcoming PlayStation 4 will include the console, a DualShock 4 controller, and additional accessories such as an HDMI cable and headset. We’ve seen an image of a PlayStation 4 bundle make the rounds in the past, which included a PS Eye and a copy of Knack, although we’ve heard rumors of additional bundles possibly being considered, such as the PS4 / PS Vita bundle. Today, we’re hearing of yet another bundle for the PlayStation 4, but this one made its way to becoming listed on Amazon France. (more…)

At the start of a new month, Sony tends to tease some of the upcoming content they will make available for free for PlayStation Plus subscribers. In the battle of free games between Sony and Microsoft, Sony is certainly offering a better selection of popular games, and September will be no different. (more…)

Sony rolled out an update to its PlayStation Store, or rather, its Sony Entertainment Network that allows patrons to purchase their digital goods through PayPal in addition to the standard method of using a credit card or prepaid card. We assume Sony didn’t think three payment options were good enough when it comes to all of the digital goods they have for sale every day, which is probably why the company has rolled out an additional payment method which would use your mobile phone account in order to make a payment.

It’s always nice to have multiple methods of paying for your digital entertainment such as games, movies, and DLC. Sony has announced a fourth payment option to add funds to the wallet to buy things on the PlayStation Store.

It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the Xbox One versus the PlayStation 4. The 360 versus the PS3. Pitting Xbox Live against PlayStation Plus. Comparing Microsoft and Sony. Even including Windows Phone with the PSP. Whatever. Any argument between Xbox fanboys and PlayStation fanboys eventually reaches the point where they’re both so thankful that they’re not Nintendo fanboys. How about that 2DS guys!

Sony has been trying their best to help sell its PlayStation Vita handheld gaming device, which just so happen to have received its first price cut just last week. We know both the PS Vita and PlayStation 4 were developed simultaneously and Sony has made it mandatory for developers to support remote play so PS4 games could be playable on the PS Vita. Sony is taking the cross-platform love one step further as we’re learning PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita owners will be able to voice chat with one another on their respective devices. (more…)
