Hasta La Gadget!

The Sony Entertainment Network, which is already live in the US and Brazil among other countries, will launch in Japan on May 29th. As you may recall, the service is a browser-based marketplace with games, movies and other media available for download. SEN is especially targeted at PlayStation users; games and videos purchased will automatically show up in the PlayStation store. Given that Sony calls the Land of the Rising Sun home, it’s high time its Entertainment Network opened its doors to Japan. And with E3 less than a month away, the world may get a taste of Sony’s next-gen hardware for enjoying this service — stay tuned.

During Sony’s PS4 reveal earlier this year, the company basically shared some of the features we might expect from the console, namely social-type features, along with some games that gamers can look forward to. Obviously that isn’t all the PS4 […]

Just yesterday Sony unveiled Gran Turismo 6 which was announced for the PlayStation 3. While we guess Sony will still cater to PS3 gamers, we thought it was a bit odd that the PS4 was not mentioned, especially since the […]

It would appear that some very skilled tricksters have taken to the web with a video advertisement amalgamation of images and flashing lights that are making even the best spotters look twice: is that the real PlayStation 4? Alas- it is not to be. Sony has confirmed that the video spot you’re about to see was not generated by them or their PR agency – that’s not to say that the console isn’t going to be very, very similar, of course.

As the world awaits the PlayStation 4 and its hardware push – at the moment we’ve just got a handheld wireless controller – this video spot shows what could be. Excitement and eyeball-burning swooshes of controller symbols light up the faces of several gaming candidates. Thumping dance music bangs through the spot making it seem like the showing of this box is all that matters to a gamer in the near future.

So what’ll be different from this in the final real-deal set of video spots produced by Sony itself? Probably not a whole lot. It’s already clear that the PlayStation 4 – aka the PS4 – will be another box. It’s certainly not going to be an Okama Gamesphere, nor is it going to be coming in the shape of a P for Playstation. What you’re seeing here won’t be far from the truth.

The in-game footage comes from a game that’s been revealed in the past, but will be appearing on the PlayStation 4 in the future. The game is called inFAMOUS: Second Son, and looks a little something like this:

The real-deal Sony PlayStation 4 has had many of its specifications confirmed by Sony earlier this year immediately following the big PS4 press event that took place in February. The controller for the system – the main, basic controller, at least – has been revealed by Sony along with some of its abilities.

Now all that’s left to see is the actual console itself.

As we said in February: the box might not matter.

Look, we’re well aware that you’re already fantasizing about the PlayStation 4, but how do you think that makes your existing PS3 feel? (Hint: Not awesome.) For those still focused on remaining in the here and now, Netflix has issued an update for its PS3 Player that “is more consistent with the Netflix player on the web as well as [its] mobile and tablet applications.” The key feature in this update is the ability to easily manage your audio and subtitle selections; before, you had to hop out of whatever you were watching in order to tweak those elements, but now you can make said changes while the content is still on screen. There have also been improvements made in the “trickplay” mode mode when scanning forward or reverse in play mode — essentially, these images now load a lot faster, which ought to keep your blood pressure at a safe level. The update is out now for PS3 users, and should be hitting select Smart TVs and Blu-ray Disc players soon.
