Sony to reveal PS3, Vita ebook platform
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3PSVITA
If you like the idea of ebooks, but hate the fact that you can’t read them from 10 feet away on the living room sofa, Sony might have the solution to your problems. Okay, we’re exaggerating a bit. There’s a rumor that Sony is working on a digital books section to the PlayStation Store, but it is hardly going to try to be a competitor to the Kindle, iBooks, or Nook.

Sony to announce new PlayStation 3 video service, but what is it?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
As part of his usual rundown of the coming week's PSN content during the latest PlayStation Blogcast, Senior Social Media Manager Jeff Rubenstein teased listeners with a brief mention of a "cool new video service" that will be revealed for the PlayStation 3. "I can't tell you anything more about it right now," he says. "But it's really cool. We tried it out, and it's something I think you all will like. Another option for people, coming to PSN for your PS3." And just like that, Rubenstein plowed forward with the release list, offering no further hints of what we can expect from the announcement.

Zen Studios will soon release a new pinball, though not for mobile platforms. Actually, Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles will be released on PlayStation Network so that includes select Sony smartphones and tablets. However, we also hope that other Android devices will get their pinball fix, as well.

The latest update for Sony's PlayStation 3 is live and available for download from via your PlayStation Netw...oops, Sony Entertainment Network account. While we get used to the new branding (nothing we could see in the system UI has actually changed at all), there's a few tweaks included in v4.10, like some sorely needed upgrades for the web browser and the ability to set the time and date automatically upon each sign-in. A scan of the forums reveals a few who noticed problems with Netflix post-update (which may or may not be update related, deleting Netflix data from the Game Data utility section and/or installing the newest version seems to fix the issue), however most are just seeing sig...

PSA: PlayStation Network down for maintenance again from 6AM-midnight PT
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
In what's becoming an increasingly regular occurrence, the PlayStation Network will be down for maintenance this Thursday. The downtime will last from 6AM til midnight PT, or 9AM-3AM Verge time (ET), which is five hours longer than the last period of outage. It won't affect online gaming if you make sure to sign in beforehand, but the PlayStation Store on all devices, account registration and management, Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services on PlayStation Home, and web-based login will all be inaccessible. As ever, Sony is staying mum on what behind-the-scenes enhancements the outage should allow, but it recommends following the PlayStation Twitter feed for updates.

Hack Allows PS3 Games to be Played Remotely on Vita
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3PSVITA
People are already doing hacking that involves the PS Vita, but the hacking is taking place on a PS3. Apparently PS3 firmware 3.55 sees the Vita as a mobile phone, and that somehow allows the portable to play games via its Remote Play feature.

Next Xbox and PS4 to be unveiled at E3 2012?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyMicrosoftPlayStation 3XBOX 360
Rumours are rife that this year's E3 could be one of the most important shows in gaming history, with the Sony PS4 and next Xbox to be announced.
Although both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are getting a little long in the tooth, both have performed admirably in the past year, and with the arrival of motion sensors for both the life-cycle of this generation's consoles is clearly not complete.
However, the announcement of replacements grows increasingly likely with every passing year, and respected industry magazine MCV is now stating that both Sony and Microsoft will choose this summer to announce the PS4 and Xbox 360 successor respectively.

'Other OS' class action lawsuit against Sony dismissed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
When Sony removed the "Other OS" ability from the PlayStation 3 in March last year, some users put together a class action lawsuit based on their right to keep the features the console had when they bought it. That lawsuit has now been dismissed because the judge was not convinced that the angry gamers had a case. Although users were forced to choose between Other OS and the latest updates that allowed continued PlayStation Network access, Judge Seeborg said they never had a legal right to ongoing PSN service in the first place — giving up Other OS in order to keep PSN was a choice individual users made, not Sony. The judge isn't allowing the complaint to be amended either, so this looks lik...

Sony Music Unlimited gets major update for PS3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
Sony released a major update today for its Music Unlimted service that streams music to PlayStation 3 consoles. The update brings an interface overhaul for the service on PS3, but more importantly, adds new music discovery capabilities as well as a “My Channels” feature that lets you customize your music listening experience.
The My Channels feature seems to take a page from Pandora, letting you create your own radio stations with songs selected based around your favorite artists. You type in the artist name and the station will automatically be populated with songs from that artist as well as similar songs from other artists. It’s also easier now to skip tracks by simply hitting the “dislik...
