Playstation 4, arrives 2012?!

It seems that the Playstation 4 may be arriving in 2012!

It seems that the Playstation 3's life may soon be over... With all of the problems that Sony is having, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumor is true. GameSpot says that it was found out through some component makers in Taiwan that said they're beginning work on the next console!

We'll just have to wait and see if it's true or not, but I hope some stuff about it is leaked before the actual release so I can get some specs or some details or something! Also, GameSpot says it's motion control-based, so it may be like a better graphics version of Playstation Move, but combined into the system.

Eidos Montreal hacked, 350 Resumes Stolen and 25000 emails stolen

It seems that another company has been hacked; recently, PSN was hacked multiple times. Sony's Playstation Network was hacked because of terrible and unpatched security, which allowed for the hackers to steal names, addresses, emails and even credit card information.

Eidos Montreal is a part of Square Enix, a giant publisher based out of Japan; they have been hit hard recently - earthquakes, tsunamis, PSN's hack (affected a lot of companies) and now one of their own network's was hacked.

Square Enix has confirmed that they took it down immediately after, but the hack still allowed the hackers to take 350 resumes (which means they probably also stole every bit of information about these people...) and 25,000 email addresses were also stolen.

Microsoft, Buying Skype for $8.5 billion dollars!

Microsoft has announced that they are going to buy Skype for $8,500,000,000 (Eight-billion-five-hundred-million dollars). This is going to be huge for both of these companies; Skype is one of the biggest online video chat and telephone groups, allowing for free communication on some things.

Kinect and Skype are going to be compatible with each other, soon; Xbox 360 is going to be getting updates to be compatible with Skype. This will allow for a whole new age of communication on Xbox Live; some think it might even be free to make video calls if you have a Gold account on Xbox Live (Gold accounts are paid accounts - you pay a small monthly fee for access to tons of stuff).

Well, we'll see how it all goes... I hope it goes well. After seeing what has happened to Sony, I'm becoming more of a supporter of Xbox Live... I still like the PS3 system, more, but Microsoft's networks are far superior and aren't handled by complete morons like at Sony...

PSN, Top PSN downloads

Here is the list of top PSN downloads... XD

Playstation Netwrok, YOUR INFO STOLEN, It only does IDENTITY THEFT

PSN has been hacked and everyone who has an account on the Playstation Network has had their information stolen. You might want to check to see if your identity was stolen by doing a credit check - mostly if you had your credit cards stored on PSN. (if you ever used it on PSN, that is)

Now, the PS3 is being devalued and becoming a running joke for everyone on the net; who would want to own something made by a company that stores passwords, credit card information and personal addresses in plain text? They didn't even encrypt it at all! It was just sitting in some computer somewhere, waiting to be stolen!

Uncharted 3, FaceBook integrated into the game

Uncharted 3 is coming November 1st, 2011. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is the second sequel to Uncharted, a game that came out a few years ago for the PS3. Both of the Uncharted games thus far have been released to a great critical reception, so I expect no less from this. I haven't played either of the first two games, but I plan to buy them soon and review them.

It was just announced that FaceBook will be integrated into the game; they say that those who log into the Playstation Network will be able to share videos and screenshots of their game and chat with their FaceBook friends, all while playing Uncharted 3.

I look forward to playing Uncharted 3, and the first two once I get them in a few days. I'm ordering them on Amazon.com, right now! :D
