News Not Bought a PS4 Yet? This The Last of Us Remastered Bundle May Tempt You
Ellie of an entry point
While many have been swift to criticise the PlayStation 4’s first full year on the market, we reckon that Sony’s done an admirable job of beating the content drought and keeping a steady stream of software on store shelves. Only last month it collaborated closely with Ubisoft for the release of Watch Dogs, and it still...

News This European PS Vita Mega Pack Is Actually Pretty Good Value
Pull those purse strings

Slim down
The end times are here for Australian gamers. That's right, Sony's latest revision of the PlayStation Vita will be available in the Land Down Under on 4th June.

Uncanny valley
It’s no secret that Sony is a little strapped for cash right now, but new gaffer Kaz Hirai is a shrewd businessman, cutting costs wherever he can.

News Sony Is Thinking About a Pre-Loading Feature for Digital PS4 Games
We live in hope
The prospect of downloading retail games leaves us slightly conflicted. While it's certainly convenient to buy titles in the comfort of your living room, the mandatory marathon download sessions are slightly less appealing. Still, Sony has taken such confident strides in making the firmware update process on the PlayStation 4 so...
