Everyone has already seen the outside of the PS4, but until now, no one except those at Sony have seen the inside of the PS4, and how everything fits together. Wired have released the first exclusive pictures of what’s inside the PS4, as well as a lengthy analysis of the architecture – well worth a read.

A new patch for Grand Theft Auto V has been released, updating the game to v1.05. The patch should address the final batch of GTA Online issues which people were experiencing, including vanishing cars and lost progress. These issues should never have made it into the final game, but hopefully we won’t see them again with the new patch.
