  • Porn Site Vows to Support PlayStation 4

    Porn Site Vows to Support PlayStation 4

    Could the support of a porn site really help sway people to use one console instead of another? Maybe. I'd like to believe that wouldn't be the case, but you never know. So perhaps it is in Sony's favor that porn site, Pornhub (I'm not going to link to it), has offered up their endorsement for the PlayStation 4 (Teehee... Play...Station).
    VHS vs. Betamax; HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray – the one thing both of these competitions have in common is that the winner was officially backed by the ever

  • Report: Foxconn Intern Claims that Manufacturing Plant Purposely Sabotaged PlayStation 4 Units

    Foxconn is a manufacturing plant located in Yantai, China. Over the years, the plant has earned a crap reputation due to the low wages employees earn, discrimination, how they used child labor, riots, and even suicides. You know, just to name a few things. However, because it is cheap labor, many large companies opt to have their devices manufactured at the plant.

    One of these companies is Sony. And yes, it seems as though the PlayStation 4 was manufactured, in part, at Fo...
