Sorry PlayStation Fans, Twitter Likes Only Matter For, Well, Twitter
What a case of deja-vu: I feel like I wrote an article virtually identical to this one back in January. Oh, wait, that’s because I did. That’s right, the PlayStation fan base is already on the absurdity of somehow using social media reaction to judge something being better, or otherwise more liked on a whole …

What The PlayStation 5 Controller Design Can Tell Us About The PlayStation 5 Console Design
Last night Sony posted a blog entry showing off the new controller for the PlayStation 5. I covered that in the previous article, but at the end of that entry mentioned that the visual style of this controller may give us a clue as to what the PlayStation 5 console itself may actually look like. …

It Looks Like I Was Right About The PlayStation 5 Backward Compatibility Rumors
Yes, I’m going to take this opportunity to gloat. After months of people constantly throwing out a rumor that the PlayStation 5 would “play every PlayStation game ever” Sony announced today, among other things about the system, that it would not be backwards compatible with anything but, apparently, the “top 100 PlayStation 4 games” and …

Finally, after a couple of weeks of tinkering off and on with the European PlayStation 3 I wound up with, the system was ready for home and the modding process.

My PlayStation Classic Finally Arrived. Yay?
Remember back on Amazon Prime day back in the middle of July? Remember how they had the PlayStation Classic going for 20 bucks? Well, I ordered one, as mentioned in this previous article, and it only just the other day came to me. Amazing had over-sold units by quite a bit, it would seem, and …

“You Don’t Start On The Next One Until You Finish The Last One?” – A PlayStation 4 Repair Story.
We get in quite a few repairs at work. It’s not our focus by any means but alongside the normal business of the used game market we offer repair services. For reasons I won’t speculate on here, our most common repair requests are for PlayStation 4 consoles. Normally (as in, about 75% of our repairs …

The Incredible Failure That Is The PlayStation Classic – A Follow Up
A few months back I wrote an article on the PlayStation Classic titled, as you would expect, “The Incredible Failure That Is PlayStation Classic” where I went over the almost comedic string of things wrong with the PlayStation Classic. Now, a few months later, post holiday season and now that the “hype” has died down, …

So The PlayStation Classic Doesn’t Come With A Power Supply, And That’s Absolutely Fine
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess When the PlayStation Classic was announced earlier in the week the reception was mixed, with most of the commentary following the same lines as Nintendo’s retro-console entries. There was one complaint that was rather specific to …

The PlayStation Classic? Well, This Is Interesting.
In a move straight out of the Nintendo playbook Sony announced a miniature retro console of it’s own called the “Playstation Classic,” a console which, just like the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles, will contain an emulated set of PlayStation game software along with reproduction controllers, in a package that’s a miniature version of …

E3 Is Not A Contest
I feel myself having to say this point blank every single year. The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is a trade show. It is not some kind of contest. There are no “winners” or “losers” at the event, it is simply a trade show, just as much as CES is for general …

The Full Playstation E3 2018 Presentation
Following up from the rather massive Microsoft / Xbox presentation, here we have the full Sony presentation at E3 2018. Now, I paid zero attention to this presentation. Why? Because I don’t have a Playstation 4, and the gist of what Sony offers doesn’t interest me. That simple. There are some cool games I would …

As Expected, Sony Was Pushing Virtual Reality Heavily At This Years E3
As the title suggests, Sony was pushing very heavily it’s PlayStation VR platform this year at E3, with several “new” games being demonstrated with the technology. I say new, but in many cases the games being presented are old titles with new VR updates – Superhot and (uhg) Skyrim are the most blatant examples, with …

Destiny 2 – More Story, More Activision + Sony Promotion
Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite excited for Destiny 2, but this trailer was somewhat lacking. It shows a bit more of the upcoming story, but we all know this is all footage we will see in the first 10 minutes of the game! Looks like the Cabal are really laying siege to the City, …
