PlayStation's redesigned phone app focuses on socializing
If you've ever used the PlayStation App on your phone, you know how dodgy it has been since launch. Never mind the dated looks -- its interface was a hodgepodge that was never particularly helpful in any one area. At last, though, it's getting a makeover. Sony has released an overhauled PlayStation App for Android and iOS that not only drags the look into the modern era, but borrows more than a few cues from social networking apps. It's dominated by a Facebook-style "what's new" feed that puts your friends' PS4 activity front and center, and clearly does much more to encourage comments and sharing. Even profiles have a more social look, and you get quicker access to your friends list and notifications.
Sony's big PlayStation 4 update arrives tomorrow
Sony is set to release one of its biggest updates ever for the PlayStation 4, and now we know when it's coming: tomorrow, September 30th. Update 3.0 includes some significant new changes, especially if you want more streaming options and extra online storage. You'll soon be able to broadcast or watch games on YouTube Gaming, send 10 second highlight clips to Twitter and "Request to Share Play and Broadcast" a friend's game or gaming session. Storage on PlayStation Plus has also gone up dramatically from 1GB to 10GB.
