In preparation for the upcoming merge of PS Now and PS Plus, many subscribers had been stacking up subscriptions. Essentially, anyone who is subscribed to both PS Now and PS Plus will be upgraded to the highest, most expensive PS Plus tier once it releases. Whichever subscription has the longest time remaining on it when the upgrade hits is how much time subscribers would have on PS Plus Premium. So by purchasing PS Plus now, fans have been able to extend their subscription, and in a roundabout way, get PS Plus Premium cheaper for a while....

The hardware shortage occurring throughout the ongoing pandemic hasn’t been kind to fans hoping to get their hands on a PS5. Nearly a year after its official launch, it’s still completely sold out aside from some rampant scalpers selling PS5s for nearly $1,000. This highlights a flaw of Sony’s that many consider to be anti-consumer. RELATED: Insomniac’s Wolverine Game Has to Capture His Claws’ Brutality Sony’s Next-Gen Upgrades Are Not Consumer-Friendly Sony’s stance with respect to its pricing has been criticized by many, but the publisher has put a lot of effort into establishing itself as the go-to brand when it comes to quality experiences....

• Play on your TV: By connecting a cable from the new video-out port to a TV, users can watch flicks or play games on a big screen (component cable required). • Speed: With twice the memory of the original (now 64MB), games load considerably faster. • Power upgrades: Instead of lugging an AC adapter, gamers can charge the PSP from their computer using a standard USB cable. They can also squeeze in the battery from an old PSP and double the juice for backup on long trips....

Ryan shared the plans to bring more Sony titles to mobile during an investor Q&A on Thursday. According to VideoGamesChronicle, Ryan stated that both the PC versions of Horizon Zero Dawn and Predator: Hunting Grounds had been profitable, which has spurred the company’s desire to expand where it offers its games and IPs. “In Fiscal Year ‘21 we will begin to publish some of our iconic Playstation IP on mobile and we anticipate that in 2021, that will not provide a significant profit flow,” Ryan said during the Q&A....

An epic court case ensued, pun intended, and after months of courtroom chatter, Apple largely came out the winner. It meant that Apple was under no obligation to allow Fornite to return to the App Store, and it didn’t. While many assumed that was the end of it, Nvidia and Epic Games had other plans in store, and today is the day that Fortnite officially returns to the iPhone and iPad....

A new trailer for Soul Calibur 6 was released today and it shows that Talim will be returning for the newest entry in the fighting game series. She is shown using her dual elbow blades, Syi Sarika and Loka Luha, along with the Dancing Wind style of fighting to take down her opponents. Some of the opponents shown included the likes of Ivy, Taki, and Zasalamel. Talim is the sole remaining wind priestess who wants to obtain the Soul Edge, not to be used, but to guard the rest of the world against the evil it is capable of....

In Harlem, the Lord’s Day is increasingly becoming the community’s .biggest business day as well. Faced with dwindling congregations, dozens of black pastors are relying on tourism to fill their pews -and the collection plate. “Church is a business,” says the Rev. John A. Smith of Metropolitan Baptist Church. “The biggest business in the world is the church business.” But as Harlem’s churches gain in tourist popularity, many congregants think that the foreigners are ruining their chance to worship in peace....

Ganguly said: “I am not totally aware of the rules and regulations. (BCCI president) Jagmohan Dalmiya will be the better person to answer this. He might have an answer.” With the IPL starting on April 8, Narine’s inclusion in the squad is still a question mark. The West Indies cricketer was banned during the 2014 Champions League Twenty20 for suspect bowling action. He has been cleared by the ICC, but the BCCI has asked him to undergo another test in Chennai....

You know the names — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The goal this year is similar, only this time, the Heat are willing to settle for a much smaller three. The Heat need upgrades in free agency this summer, and they need them fast. The addition of three useful veterans is the goal. According to sources, among the players the Heat will pursue are veteran Warriors guard Steve Blake, who can play either guard spot, can knock down 3-pointers and is expected to draw interest from other contenders, like the Thunder....

Dane Paterson, Andile Phelukwayo, Temba Bavuma – who missed the opening Test due to a hip injury – and Rudi Second have all been included despite not featuring in the first two matches. However, fast bowler Paterson could be in line for a debut in the third Test. A Cricket South Africa statement read: “The starting XI from the Newlands Test, along with Dane Paterson will travel to Port Elizabeth, while the rest of the players will remain with their franchise teams to play in the CSA Domestic Four-Day series....

This is the second batch of vaccines rejected by South Africa, which turned away approximately one million AstraZeneca vaccines earlier in 2020. One study determined that those vaccines, sold to South Africa by the Serum Institute of India, provided little buffer against mild to moderate infections by the COVID-19 variant that is common in the country. South Africa’s vaccination campaign has been largely unsuccessful, as just a little more than 1 percent of the country’s population of 60 million have received doses so far....

But here we are, with our hopes and predictions for the upcoming heavyweight battle between the two giants. Best batsman With over 17 centuries and the leading run-scorer in ODIs in 2013, Virat Kohli has shown his worth to the world. His strokeplay, technique and match-winning performances have got everybody talking about him being the “next big thing” in world cricket. Kohli has already proven his mettle in the pace and bouncy pitches of Australia and the team will depend heavily on him to perform here also....

Kim used his annual New Year address to underscore Pyongyang’s claim that it has developed a weapons deterrent and warn that he had a “nuclear button” on hand, but sweetened his remarks by expressing an interest in dialogue and participating in the South’s Games. South Korea’s unification minister Cho Myoung-Gyon said Seoul was “reiterating our willingness to hold talks with the North at any time and place in any form”....

‘Buffon can’t beat Ronaldo to Ballon d’Or’ Hart was axed from Manchester City upon Pep Guardiola’s arrival in the summer, joining Serie A side Torino on a season-long loan, because the Catalan coach wanted a goalkeeper who was comfortable in possession. During Hart’s time in Italy the 30-year-old shipped 58 goals, with only Pescara’s Albano Bizzarri conceding more in over the same period. Urbano Cairo, president of the Turin side, has since told the press that he had not expected Hart to make so many mistakes, but Three Lions boss Southgate has described the out-of-favour City shot-stopper’s impact with the national side as ’excellent'....

Rooney kept the armband during Southgate’s four-match interim tenure and is set to continue in the role now the 46-year-old has been given the job permanently on a deal until 2020. The Manchester United striker faced scrutiny after being pictured in The Sun allegedly drinking at a wedding in the team hotel in the wake of England’s World Cup qualifying win over Scotland last month, although Rooney later stated he did “not even set foot into the wedding”....

As with everything nostalgic, a sequel was only a matter of time. Somebody in Warner Bros. would inevitably come to the table to propose a return, and so it has come to pass: Space Jam 2: A New Legacy will feature the same basic concept, but this time around, Lebron James will be the big name to hang the production on. Currently slated for release on July 16th, 2021, it will also star Don Cheadle and Sonequa Martin-Green, presumably as part of the team that will support the Looney Tunes and Lebron James....

The billionaire technologist, who has long envisioned human travel to the red planet, made the comment on Twitter after NASA posted a video showing its team members celebrating the landing at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. NASA tweeted: “Touchdown confirmed.

Of course, the PS4’s massive amount of sales hasn’t just been acknowledged by the people that bought the system, but Sony as well. This was a big factor that prompted the company to shift its focus from other businesses like smartphones and televisions, in favor of better supporting their gaming efforts. As a result of these recent decisions, as well as the aforementioned success of the PS4, the Japanese company has now updated their profit forecasts for their fiscal year ending March 31, 2015....

A new firmware update is now available for PS5 users to download, clocking in at about 902MB. PS5 update 21.01-03.21.00 doesn’t seem to do much beyond improving system performance, but it will still be a required download for those who hope to use the PS5’s online features. Luckily the update is fairly small and so it shouldn’t interrupt one’s gaming time all that much. RELATED: 16-Year Old Reseller Makes $1....
