Looking for PlayStation 4 this Thanksgiving? Sony has a Black Friday 2015 deal on PS4 which sees the price of a bundle gets down to just $299. Here are the details.
Sony has confirmed that PS4 backwards compatibility with PS2 games is a reality and is coming soon so that you can enjoy older PlayStation classics on your new console.
Sony has provided consumers who reside within the United States with yet another reason to choose its powerful PlayStation 4 over competing consoles. When Sony's fourth iteration of the PlayStation console was launched in late 2013 it was priced at $399.99, which is pretty much where it has stayed in the 22 months that's followed. In an effort to increase sales as part of the run up to the extremely lucrative holiday shopping season, Sony has slashed $50 from the retail price of the hardware, dropping it down to $349.99.
Sony has been taking advantage of having a captive audience at the SCEJA Conference in Tokyo to make some rather interesting announcements that no doubt immediately captured the attention of PlayStation owners. The Japanese gaming giant has taken the opportunity to not only announce the official name of its PS4 virtual reality system that has been frequently speculated upon, but also introduce a number of new DualShock 4 controllers and accessory panels designed for the PlayStation 4 console.
Sony's track record of providing solid updates to its PlayStation platform hasn't always been a good one, but it seems that the company's Japanese division is currently beta-testing a new version of the PS4 software that our gaming systems use. Version 3.00 of the software is currently part of an internal testing process, but details and screenshots have started to leak out, detailing what we can expect when the update reaches the public.
If you're the type of individual who chooses a Sony over Microsoft when it comes to the gaming-console wars, then you're going to love what American retailer GameStop have come up with. The Sony versus Microsoft console war has never been about plain old friendly competition, it's always been about which company can best the other and claim the majority of the console market. Now, in an effort to outdo Microsoft's recent announcement of the 1TB Xbox One console, GameStop is seemingly doing Sony's dirty work for it by supercharging pre-owned PlayStation 4 consoles to serve up a whopping 2TB of internal data storage.
The PlayStation 4 may be svelte when compared with the Xbox One, but nobody ever accused it of being portable. That didn't stop the PlayBook 4 being created, with a PS4 being shoehorned into a mobile chassis alongside a 22-inch display that made the whole thing look like a large notebook. There was no keyboard to type on, but the resemblance was there nonetheless.
Renowned video game accessories company PDP will soon be launching an officially licensed PlayStation 4 media remote control that is all set to be made available for purchase later this year. The company is yet to actually officially announced the existence of the Sony approved remote control, but the pre-sale listings on Amazon and GameStop have given the game away. Amazon is currently listing the item as "released on October 31, 2015", with GameStop showing as launching the device on October 15, 2015.
A PlayStation 4 console with 1TB of internal storage space has been officially announced by Sony, and is being dubbed the '1TB PS4 Ultimate Player Edition.' The upgraded console only doubles up on the existing storage of the PS4 while everything else remains untouched.
PlayStation 4 backwards compatibility for PS3 games won’t happen any time soon, according to Sony, which might come as disappointing news for a lot of gamers.
