News Bloodborne's PS4 Bundle Will Inaugurate Newcomers
Cry baby
If you've ever tried out for a college or university sports team, then you'll know a thing or two about the inauguration process – namely that it separates the men from the boys. And we like to think of this forthcoming Bloodborne bundle in a similar way, as it should introduce PlayStation 4 newcomers to the world of next-gen with a bit...

News PS4, PS3, and Vita Titles Reduced in European PlayStation Store Sale

News What the Heck's Going on with PlayStation Store Pre-Orders in Europe?
Pre-load problems
There are a total of six PlayStation 4 games available to pre-order on the European PlayStation Store right now, two of which have expanded premium options.

Store Update 14th January 2014 (Europe)
Dead kings
Parts of the UK are snowed in today, so it's a good job that you don't need to go outside to shop at the PlayStation Store. To be fair, this week's shelf refresh doesn't have a whole lot to shout about, with Joe Danger 2: The Movie and add-on packs for Assassin's Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 being the only real highlights. Do you see...

News Far Cry 4 and Freedom Wars Scale Final EU Christmas Sale

Like the big box perched under your Christmas tree, Sony's big 12 Deals of Christmas initiative promised so much – only to serve up a slew of, frankly, underwhelming offers.

News Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare PS4, PS3 Enlists for EU Christmas Sale
Scatter shot
Let’s face it: Sony’s big 12 Deals of Christmas initiative has been about as tasty as a plate full of Brussels sprouts. There have been some reasonable offers here and there, but nothing that’s going to set your trousers on fire – and this week is similar, even if there is a loophole that you may not actually be aware of...
News Sony May Not Have Enough PS4 Stock in Europe This Holiday
Sell out
Regular readers may recall our obsession with PlayStation 4 stock last Christmas.

A realm reborn
There’s a free Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trial for PlayStation 4 available as part of this month’s European PlayStation Store update, which has this editor shivering in the corner of a dark room, muttering “must resist” in a deranged fashion.

Classics get cut prices
PlayStation turns 20 today, meaning that while it’s not old enough to legally drink in most American states, it’s deserving of a darn good birthday bash.

Super love
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the European PlayStation Store update, which is absolutely bursting with big games. Among the highlights this week are Grand Theft Auto V, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and, er, Rugby 15. Oh alright, maybe not the last one, then – but you get the overarching idea. PlayStation 4: Dragon Age:...

It may well have been severely supply constrained at launch, but the PlayStation 4 has already passed the one million sales milestone in Germany, leaving its competitors in the dust. According to SCEE, the number was crossed on 21st October, putting its next-gen platform in “pole position”. Given the region, we reckon that the...
News PS4 Releases Reduced in New European PlayStation Store Sale
Cheap as chips
Sony’s finally slashed the price on a slew of high-profile digital PlayStation 4 releases in Europe – even though you’ll be able to pick up many of these titles cheaper from your nearest second-hand shop.

Store Update 12th November 2014 (Europe)
Angry Murray
Costume Quest 2 has arrived just in time for Hallowe’en – on the PlayStation 3 at least. Sigh. Double Fine’s dress-‘em-up is just one of many delayed releases to deploy on the European PlayStation Store this week, with Nidhogg and Pier Solar HD also on the menu. Assassin’s Creed Unity is the obvious highlight, but this...
News Lara Croft Plunders a New PS4 Price Point for Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition in Europe
A Lara savings
If you were outraged at the idea of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition being sold at full price earlier in the year, then perhaps this week’s European PlayStation Store Deal of the Week discount will make Lara Croft’s spruced up escapade a little more palatable to you.

Store Update 29th October 2014 (Europe)
Late to the party
As with its North American counterpart, this European PlayStation Store update is absolutely bursting with new releases – but there’s one irritating absentee for this editor.

Store Update 22nd October 2014 (Europe)
Break the rules
The early bird always catches the worm, so we guess that we’ll be forced to feed on scraps for posting the European PlayStation Store update so darn late in the day. We’d blame the delay on traffic, but, well, that’s not strictly true. Either way, a rival saying states that you’re better late than never – and we happen to...
News Sony Deploys Deadly Hallowe'en Discounts for PS4, PS3, and Vita in Europe
Avoids using Sunset Overdrive's font
It’s getting colder and the nights are drawing in, which means that it must be time for Hallowe’en. An excuse for supermarkets to offload themed pastries and piles of plastic tat, we’d argue that the spookiest day of the year rivals most religious holidays in pure commercial terms. With that in mind,...
Store Update 15th October 2014 (Europe)
The raunchy, the creepy, and the creative
This week's selection is leaving us spoiled, and we haven't even hit November yet.

Meanwhile, if you're looking to live life on the wild side, then you can play with just the...

News LittleBigPlanet 3 Swoops into European Stores a Week Late
Knit to worry
LittleBigPlanet 3 looks and plays amazingly, but poor little Sackboy must be cowering in absolute terror at the prospect of releasing in November. The game had originally been set to deploy on 19th November in Europe – the same week as Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4,
Store Update 8th October 2014 (Europe)
No Wei
As is the case in North America, it’s a big week for the European PlayStation Store as well. Highlights include, of course, Alien: Isolation and DriveClub – but there’s also a little title called Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition supposedly set to deploy this Friday, too. No, we had no idea that it was out so soon either.
News This Enormous PS4 Bundle Is Bordering on Parody
Chuck everything in
In addition to wiping the floor with Microsoft's abhorrent used games policies, Sony’s strategy for the latest generation seems to have centred on one very simple tactic: bundle everything.

Wiped out
As is often the case, this week’s European PlayStation Store update isn’t quite as exciting as its North American counterpart.
