Sony has revealed the gamers who pick up the PS4 on launch day will be getting some special promotional voucher in the box. The console launches at midnight on November 15th, and in the box you’ll find vouchers to try out Sony’s wide range of entertainment services, including PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited.
BBC Worldwide’s Walking with Dinosaurs is coming to the Wonderbook on PS3 next week. The game is all about ‘Fun, Fear and Facts’, bringing a new way of learning about and interacting with dinosaurs. With Wonderbook, the images come to life, popping as if the worlds and creatures are standing right there on the page in front of you.
The PS4 launch is set to be one of the biggest launches in PlayStation History, especially if these photos are anything to go by. Photos are being released from retails stores and warehouses in North America showing just how many units are being prepared for the November 15th launch.
A new trailer for PS4 launch title Knack has been released, showing gameplay from the game’s co-op mode. The co-op mode supports the second screen function letting you use a PS Vita to control one of the two characters on screen. A second player can drop in or drop out at any time, and controls Knack’s shiny metallic helper called Robo Knack, either with a second DualShock controller or using Remote Play on the PS Vita.
A new video has emerged showing PS4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall being played on the PS Vita using Remote Play. The downside is that the video is very short – only 14 seconds – and very poor quality. Like Knack, the display for Killzone is simply replicated on the PS Vita, allowing someone to watch you play on the TV, even if you’re using Remote Play in another room.
Sony has revealed that 11 entertainment apps will be available for the PlayStation 4 in North America from day one, including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus and more. These services and others will be available to download on the console from November 15th in North America. It still remains to be seen which services will be available in Europe.
The PS4 Mega Bundle, featuring the PS4, Killzone: Shadow Fall, an extra DualShock 4 controller and the PS4 Camera has been delayed in a number of European territories, it has emerged. The bundle will be delayed by two weeks in a number of countries, but is still scheduled for release in the UK on November 29th 2013.
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.
Sony has announced that PayPal support has been added to the Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) wallet, allowing you to buy games on the PS3 using PayPal instead of adding your credit card. PayPal can be used on the Web version of the PlayStation Store as well as on the PS3, giving you more flexibility on how you pay for content.
