Sony axed PlayStation 4 camera to keep price down

Motion to ignore motion controls? Granted Sony has been known for pushing its tech on people; blu-ray, for example. It seems that in an effort to keep the PlayStation 4 competitive, however, the PlayStation Eye camera was not safe. The camera, meant to work in conjunction with the DualShock 4, was going to be included with each PS4.According to IGN, it was cut to shave $100 off the price tag. The PS4 now sits at a cool $399, a hundred dollars less than the Xbox One....

Sony hits 60 million PS4 shipments as it closes in on the PS3’s 80 million

They expect to push 18 million more in the next year It’s fascinating to look back and see the lifetime sales of every console. I totally forgot that the PS2 is still ahead of everything — it’s not even close — as it towers over the number two spot, the PS1, by over 50 million (PS2 is at 155m versus the PS1’s 102m). Then comes the Wii at 101m, the Xbox 360 (remember how powerful Microsoft was last generation?...

Step into a World of Mercenaries

The closed beta for the new MMOFPS,World of Mercenariesopens today. Created by Polish Developer City Interactive,WoMis a “teamwork focused” shooter based on Unreal Engine 3. Seeking to enter the super-crowded class-based FPS space is always a lofty goal. Ever since Valve swept in withTeam Fortress 2, bringing their polish and a boatload of hats, it seems like it’s become harder and harder for new PC shooters to get the attention that they may (or may not deserve)....

The Forces codes (July 2025)

Updated: August 03, 2025 We searched for new codes! Roblox is stacked with PvP games, most of which are shoddily made copycats of more successful counterparts. Despite what its name suggests,The Forcesdoesn’t share anything in common withStar Wars, but its action-packed clashes with spell-wielders throwing magic orbs left and right put every intergalactic battle to shame. However, this is one of those games where veteran players will immediately swarm to you as soon as you spawn....

The Network Roundup: Bring on the chocolate

This weekend is finally Easter. A time that can mean various things for many people. Family, religion, even rabbit worship. To me Easter means one thing. Delicious chocolate bunnies. Don’t even get me started on the day after Easter sales. Perhaps Monday should be its own holiday. I declare it “Cadbury Conquest Day”! While you are planning your chocolate overdose plans, and the extreme weight loss tactics after, check out sweetness going on around the network....

The X-Men films go for horror in first trailer for The New Mutants

Hopefully not horror-ible After that all too brief “going to the mall” scene inX-Men: Apocalypse, I’ve wanted anX-Menfilm where cool, super-powered teens hang out and do things. But since I don’t make the big decisions, andThe New Mutantsis based on a comic book team that’s basically X-Men Babies, now we have a horror tinged trailer forThe New Mutantsmovie. Taking place in a mental asylum where young mutants are being experimented on, there isn’t much story to go on here but this definitely is an interesting direction to go....

This might not need to be said, but the difference is astronomical....
