Playstation, Video Game Console | featured news

The PlayStation 4 will be released during the 2013 holiday season, which could mean Sony could release their newest console anywhere between mid November to December 31. But what's a console without games to play them on? Sony not only revealed some important facts (while leaving out a few) about the PS4, but also gave us a taste of games to come.

With the upcoming launch of Sony's PS Vita in the UK, Europe, and North American markets, Ewan Spence reckons that far from being the last gasp of a traditional model, the Vita is going to be welcomed by gamers with open arms.

Apparently, we can all stop holding our breath in hopes of cross-game chat on the PS3. It's not coming.

Sony has released official specification sheet, which states that Vita has 512MB RAM.

Although Sony has yet to pin down a release date for the Sony PlayStation Vita, an alleged ad from Blockbuster UK seems to indicate an October worldwide launch.

Sony said on Monday its new handheld game device would be called PlayStation Vita. The company added that it would partner with AT&T as exclusive carrier for the 3G version of the device in the United States.

Several gaming news outlets are reporting that Sony’s PlayStation Network password reset system has a weakness that makes it vulnerable to hackers.

Sony plans to start a gradual restoration of its PlayStation services Sunday as the company works to resume normal operations following a security breach that exposed personal details of 77 million users.

Sony said on Saturday it had removed off the Internet the personal details of 2,500 people that had been stolen by hackers and posted on a website.

Sony is reportedly attempting to avoid testifying before Congress later this week, after the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade asked the company to answer questions regarding its failure to protect the PlayStation Network from hackers. The memo distributed to subcommittee members suggests the hearing is designed to explore "risks related to data breaches" and data security practices utilized by the industry.
