Sony To Launch “PlayStation Classic” Mini Console This December

At a time when everything old is new again, Sony has just announced that it too will be launching a new mini console that pays homage to the classic PlayStation that debuted in the 90s.

Dubbed the PlayStation Classic, the upcoming console will look identical to the original PlayStation with the addition of an HDMI port and a 45% reduction in size.

The console will come pre-loaded with 20 beloved games from the 90s such as Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Jumping Flash and Wild Arms.

The PlayStation Classic will arrive with two controllers, an HDMI cable and a USB cable to power the device.

It will be available in Singapore just in time for Christmas on December 3.

Nike and PlayStation Just Announced A Collaborative Sneaker

Nike is set to release a brand new signature shoe with NBA superstar Paul George in collaboration with Sony PlayStation.

The news was revealed earlier today when both Nike and Sony released a teaser video showcasing the pair in all its glory.

The drop is said to take place on February 10, but in extremely limited quantities, so those interested might need to fork up a large amount at resale, or wait for a possible wider release down the line.

Nevertheless, the pair truly captures the magic of the PlayStation, with LED logos on the tongue which light up either on static mode or pulse.

The midsole also takes on PlayStation’s galaxy theme, reminiscent of the PlayStation 2 start-up screen.

The eyelets on the shoes also feature the classic PlayStation button colours of pastel green, red, pink and blue.

Sony Interactive Entertainment will be releasing a “PlayStation 4 HITS Bundle” in Singapore next month for S$449.

As the name suggests, the bundle will include the new slim edition of the PlayStation 4 (500GB), three PS4 titles, and a 3-month subscription to PlayStation Plus.

The three games in the bundle are the critically-acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn, racing title DRIVECLUB and Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank.

The bundle is set to drop on May 3 at all Sony Authorised Retailers nationwide.

Given that the prices for PS4 games range between S$60-S$80 on average at retail, and a 3-month PS Plus subscription costs S$15, the bundle looks like a winner if you’ve been holding off your console purchase.

This Company Is Selling Retro-Painted PS4s That 90s Kids Would Die For

The current line-up of PlayStation 4s are barely recognisable to the OG PlayStation from 1994. The original console by Sony had a distinctive grey colour scheme with a vibrant PS logo that popped right off its body.

Since then, PlayStations have taken on a black exterior with the exception of limited edition skins and the likes.

It even has the classic rainbow-coloured PlayStation logo on top and greyed out controllers to match.

The USB ports are even labelled “1” and “2”, similar to how the OG PlayStation had its controller ports numbered.

The consoles are limited of course, with only 25 sets of PS4 Pros and 50 sets of PS4 Slims up for sale.

The PlayStation 4 Pro “Retro” will set gamers back US$899, while the PS4 Slim will cost a cool US$799. Colorware delivers to anywhere in the world, although shipping costs could add up to more than US$100.

Besides retro colour schemes, Colorware also specialises in customised paint jobs for gaming consoles, PC accessories and even headphones.

Sony Launches Two New PlayStation 4s – Pro and Slim

In a rather odd move to hold a press event the same day as Apple’s iPhone announcements, Sony has introduced to the world two new versions of the PlayStation 4.

The first is a jacked-up and very powerful Playstation 4 Pro, filled with the insides of a typical gaming computer. With 1TB of hard disk space, an AMD GPU more than twice as fast as the original PS4, and 4K support, the PS4 Pro is a force not to be reckoned with.

The PS4 Pro allows games to be played in High Dynamic Range (HDR), adding significantly more detail in areas of extreme darkness or brightness. The console will also upscale older games to 4K and playback all non-gaming content from Netflix and YouTube in 4K and HDR as well.

Alongside the PS4 Pro will be a slimmer, lighter PlayStation, which is officially called the PS4. This slim version is significantly smaller than the already compact original.

Sony was able to shed off about half an inch in width and height, and about three-quarters of an inch length-wise. The slim model is also lighter by 16 per cent and more energy efficient, taking up 28 per cent less power that its predecessor.

The PlayStation 4 Pro is expected to arrive on November 10, while the new slimmer PlayStation 4 will arrive next week on September 15.

Soon You Can Play Hundreds of PlayStation 3 Games on Your PC

Sony announced this morning that their PlayStation Now service is coming to the PC along with a USB dongle that allows users to connect their DualShock controller to their computers wirelessly.

The Japanese tech giant has been garnering a fair bit of attention this past week with two new PlayStation models reported to be launched next month.

Eric Lampel, SVP of the PlayStation Network, wrote on the PlayStation blog that the move will bring a wide selection of PlayStation-exclusive titles to the PC for the first time.

PlayStation Now subscribers can stream over 400 games for a subscription fee – think of it as a Netflix for games.  Launched last year, PS Now has already been available on the PS4 and several smart televisions.

PlayStation Now is not to be confused with Remote Play, a separate service which allows PlayStation 4 owners to transmit and play their PS4 games on their PC or Mac computers. Remote Play requires users to own both a PlayStation console and the game titles they wish to stream.

Alongside the PlayStation Now announcement, Sony will be offering a DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor. This adaptor will let you connect a DualShock 4 to PC and Mac wirelessly. All functions will be enabled, including the light bar and touch pads.

Prior to this, gamers had to connect to their PC and Macs via a micro-USB wire. The USB Wireless Adaptor will retail for US$25.

It is unclear as to whether users will be able to use their own non-Sony controllers for PlayStation Now. It is unlikely however as Remote Play only works with DualShock controllers.
