At the IFA 2013 Press Conference today, Sony unveiled a bunch of new gadgets, such as the waterproof Xperia Z, including the much hyped DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 Cyber-shot smartphone lens cameras. Both the devices are scheduled for availability starting September 27, based on Amazon’s official listing, and are going to provide “DSLR-quality shooting from the convenience of a smartphone”. Let’s take a deeper look at both these models right after the break.
It’s finally here - the Sony Xperia Z1, which might well be the best Android phone on the market today. And it’s not just Sony claiming it; the specifications and the on-board goodies seem to verify the claim to the last bit. Let’s take you on a virtual tour of what Sony unveiled today at its IFA 2013 Press Conference.
The PlayStation 4 is one of the most sought-after gadgets of the year. In fact, alongside the Xbox One, it's one of the most eagerly anticipated machines to have released in the past five years, and while we already knew a great deal about the console thanks to numerous insights from Sony, we're still now only learning about some of the new features.
With what's shaping up to be an interesting slog for the next-gen console crown, both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 continue to grapple for those column inches as consumers make up their minds about which one to choose. After a spate of reports pertaining Microsoft's next big thing, a leak of the PS4's Killzone: Shadow Fall bundle has emerged. Now, we've seen a Killzone bundle already, but this one, which features the new Killzone as well as a PlayStation Camera, briefly appeared on the French Amazon site.
There has never been a better time to be a gaming console fan as we move closer towards the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release. Excitement levels were once again raised through the roof with the recent confirmation of the PS4 release date in Europe and the US. Not wanting to let adrenaline and interest die down at this early stage, the PS4 announcement train is back, this time to inform us that we will be stepping away from the single option of black monotone controllers in favor of offering stunning red and blue variants that will surely be popular with those who want to inject a bit of personality into their gaming.
Sony's focus must no doubt be on its upcoming PlayStation 4 release in a few short months, but that doesn't mean that the Japanese firm isn't keeping an eye on its other product lines at the same time, and its recent announcement of a price drop for the PlayStation Vita is a prime example of that fact.
PlayStation 4 release date has been confirmed by Sony at the Gamescom trade show today. We’ve got all the details right here.
Much of the excitement and hysteria surrounding the gaming industry may be focused on the soon-to-be released PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One, but that doesn't mean Sony are ready to give up on their current-generation hardware. The PlayStation 4 is likely to prove to be extremely popular when it is released later in the year, but it also seems that the Japanese electronics giants are giving more budget focused consumers what they want by making the much talked about flash-based 12GB PlayStation 3 available in two of video games biggest markets.
Although the PlayStation 4 remained rather elusive for a period of time following its February launch ceremony, we have now seen enough videos and images of the console to gather a rough idea of its size. With that said, it's always nice to try and get a sense of perspective, particularly given how soon Sony's next games machine will be hitting the market, and as the folks of IGN have shown in a rather entertaining clip, it's certainly not going to command as much of your precious shelf space as you might have thought.
The PlayStation 4 may be on the agenda for many a Sony fan this year, but as the company has indicated on numerous occasions, there's still plenty of gaming to be had, and money to be made, from the current-gen PlayStation 3. As such, Sony announced just last September that it was planning to throw out a 12GB, flash storage-based version of the console, with the catch being that it would only be made available to the Hong Kong and European markets. However, much to the benefit of US-based PlayStation 3 fans, the company has gone back on its word, and decided to throw out the new variant of the ageing games machine to those based in the States.
