Still lagging behind Europe, though

Sony's 1.80 update for the Vita brought with it a large selection of PlayStation classics for European players, but those in North America were left feeling a little glum by the somewhat paltry selection they received. Thankfully, it looks as if Sony is listening to the complaints, as it has quietly added some...

Bad news for North Americans

Yesterday was the day that North American PlayStation 3 owners should have been able to relive classic GTA title Grand Theft Auto III.
