A Utah-based hacker who targeted several of the big gaming networks, including PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, temporarily knocking them offline and boasting about it, is facing a 10-year jail sentence.

With its remarkable, varied game library, the original PlayStation stands as one of the best console platforms in gaming history. For Sony as a corporate entity, the PlayStation brand remains a key part of its lineup and one that has arguably saved the company at points during its long history. For gamers though, the original grey box represents an era of discovery and wonderful memories - a time when previously niche genres were given the chance to thrive the world over and well-worn genres were given new life in the transition to 3D.

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan president, Atsushi Morita, finally addressed the censorship regulations that Sony has employed for PS4 games, speaking at the Japan Studio “Fun” Meeting that took place in Tokyo, Japan on December 1st, 2018.

A small-budget thriller called The Possession of Hannah Grace is the first Sony Pictures film to be shot on a full-frame mirrorless camera. Sony said that the film was primarily shot on its own A7S II, a consumer camera that costs a mere $2,000.

Gainor.

How can a day be more perfect than battling your friends on PS4?

The PlayStation 3 was the best-selling games console in the US for September, according to NPD, breaking an impressive stranglehold on the top of the charts that the Xbox 360 had managed to keep for the 32 months since January 2011. NPD analyst Liam Callahan told Gamesindustry.biz that Sony's system was boosted by the release of a Grand Theft Auto V bundle, showing how Rockstar's blockbuster series "can shake things up in hardware as well as software.”

Shuhei Yoshida still remembers the call that convinced him Sony needed to change. It was the late spring of 2006, and Yoshida was rushing to make his deadlines for the unveiling of Sony’s next big bet on the future of home video games, the PlayStation 3.

After its launch on Friday, the PlayStation 4 has come under fire from some gamers who say their units have been dead on arrival.

There are a lot of very unhappy PS4 owners right now, as reports of bricked consoles and no available replacements come in from all over the web.

As shipments continue to go out for the PS4, many of the consoles are DOA with the "pulsating blue light" being the most common. Now a Foxconn intern claims the consoles were deliberately sabotaged.

When PlayStation 3 was first released by electronics giant Sony in 2006, it was sold at a loss with the hope of making money back on individual games. That’s pretty close to what Sony is doing again with the PS4, although it’s not as extreme. At least that’s the conclusion drawn by the research firm IHS, which will later today release the findings of a teardown analysis of the PS4 and the combined cost of the components used to build it.

Just like that, the Xbox One was released to the public, and the next generation of gaming became the current generation of gaming. In the last two weeks, we've gotten two new consoles in the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. Add last year's Nintendo Wii U, and you've officially got a lot of new video game stuff to take in.

In October, Sony announced that they would sell the PlayStation 4 in Brazil for 4000 real, or the equivalent of 1800 USD. That’s right: the citizens of the fifth largest country in the world have to pay more than four times what Americans pay for the new console, if they choose to buy it in stores in Brazil. The reason?
