As previously announced, Sony's launched a free "Official PlayStation Application" for iTunes and Android

We've just had a little play on the iOS version of the app, and it's pretty darn slick. The tool allows you to log into the PlayStation Network and check your trophies, as well as keep up-to-date with the latest news from the PlayStation Blog. Simply search "PlayStation Official" in..

Ignore the dreadful name and Sony might be onto something with Qriocity

The super-slick cloud based streaming service magically appeared on European PlayStation 3s last night, promising on-demand audio streaming for a small fee. The service — which is accessible from a range of Sony products including Bravias, VAIOs and Blu-ray players — requires just one account with packages ranging from..

It's Christmas -- or so the neighbours' irritatingly chirpy festive lights are trying to tell us

Of course, we all know that the best thing about Christmas (aside from it being over) are the ridiculous sales. When else can you get Naughty Bear for £3.99 from GAME? (Don't do it.) Digital sales are probably the best kind because there's no physical stock. Publishers can slash prices however and..

Little bit weird this one

Cool, but weird. To be honest, we're not really sure why it's weird — but you have to agree there's something a little bizarre about an official PlayStation app for iOS. The Android app makes perfect sense because Sony and Google are practically in love with each other right now — but iOS?! Maybe it's just us. Sony's announced a set of official PlayStation Apps for..

We're downloading all 15GB of the DC Universe Online beta as we type

The MMO stress-test has been released for PlayStation Plus subscribers in Europe today (that's all of you) and will run right through the holiday season. The download's handled in two parts — a fairly tiny client followed by a whopping 15GB download. It's handled similarly to the MAG beta, the main difference being that the..

We always thought 720p was a super popular screen resolution

Seeing as like only three games actually support the full 1080p resolution (and you know, the difference isn't all that noticeable on average TVs), we assumed there were millions of users worldwide playing their games in 720p. According to Sony's statistics though, only 2% of people using the PlayStation 3's browser are doing so in 720p..

Haha

Gotta laugh at all those people throwing around the words "useless", "pointless" and "crap" when PlayStation Plus was announced. We're some of the most hardcore PlayStation Network users out there, and Plus has already lavished us in a ridiculous array of goodies. Today we're set to get a few more. SCEE's revealed that a "limited" number of PlayStation..

Whatever you do, remember to attach your PlayStation Move's wrist-strap before you even consider downloading Sony's Top Darts from the PlayStation Network

The Devil's Details developed PlayStation Move dart-a-thon is set to hit the PlayStation Store before Christmas, and will feature a host of single-player tournaments and simultaneous multiplayer game-types based on tungsten tossing. The game..

Speaking at the Develop conference in Liverpool, Sony's Mick Hocking argued that 3D can offer more than increased visual depth, instead providing a "new creative medium" for the industry

The director of Sony's Liverpool studio (the Wipeout guys) stated that 3D technology can make games more natural and inviting to newcomers. "Doing things like the way we've used Move combined with 3D in Tumble..

Where were you ten years ago today? If you're a European, you were probably unwrapping your shiny new PlayStation 2 console

Vu-whup. The system originally launched in Europe on November 24th, 2000. Ten years later it still holds a major store presence in most retailers. Incredible. The PlayStation 2 era was probably most famous for ushering a new generation of Grand Theft Auto, as well as playing..

Sony's dropped some fresh news about what we can expect from the LittleBigPlanet franchise this Christmas

Honestly, a whole lot. Sony will be sending out fresh beta invites and a story demo for LittleBigPlanet 2 from next month, as well as releasing a stand-alone PlayStation Move experience entitled Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves. Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves was outed by Australia's ratings board last..

SCEE's announced that the PlayStation Network will be experiencing some downtime later this afternoon

Those of you getting out of work at 5PM to slot in your brand new copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood or Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, prepare to be furious. The maintenance is scheduled for between 16:05 and 01:00GMT. Users will not be able to access the PlayStation Store, Account Management,..

SCEE's allowing all European PlayStation Plus members to take part in the Killzone 3 beta

It's a limited offer, so make sure you make the most of this opportunity — jump on the PlayStation Store and hit "Download". Go on, it's free. “For a limited amount of time today, you will be able to download the Beta straight from the PlayStation Plus section of the PS Store. "We will not..

The PlayStation 3's MUBI application is set to launch across Europe this week

The app — which is a movie streaming service for independent and classic films — will be available to download from the PlayStation Store on November 3rd in a range of different European countries. Hit up the PlayStation Blog to check you're covered. The service will allow you to rent movies for £2.99/€3.59 or..

If there's one thing you need to know about us, it's that we love the Wipeout franchise

It's possibly our favourite on PlayStation, special. There's something unique about the games visual style and the culture surrounding it. Wipeout defined PlayStation when it launched in the mid-90s. So it was really sad when we heard about the job losses at Studio Liverpool. Honestly, we thought that might have..

Not quite the bomba folks were expecting, SCEE's top body Andrew House has revealed Sony's expecting "very, very strong" holiday sales in Europe this season, with the PlayStation Move getting off to a roaring start

House told Bloomberg that Sony expects to “exceed its current sales estimate of 15 million PS3 consoles moved this fiscal year” party due to strong demand in Europe. “Sales have been..

Could this be the PlayStation Move survival horror game we've been touting for months? No, we don't think so, the logo looks too happy for survival horror

Shame. Still — Sony's just launched a website for Room 299, a project teased on Twitter by a SCEE employee over the weekend. What could it mean? We haven't the foggiest.

MUBI's like Netflix for pretentious people living in Europe

Instead of focusing on the highs and lows of Eddie Murphy's career in cinema, MUBI is all about the unsung heroes. The movies you've never heard of but your existentialist buddy adores. It's coming to PlayStation 3 in October. And it looks great. The service will allow you to view a bunch of unique cult movies directly from the..

If you've already bought the PlayStation Eye, there's every chance you might have been feeling a little short-changed lately

Nobody wants a second PlayStation Eye, but up until this point, it seemed like the only way to get hold of some Move demos was to buy the PlayStation Move Starter Kit - which includes the Move controller, Eye and Starter disc here in Europe. SCEE's Nick Robinson has cleared..
