PlayStation 4 Reportedly Costs $381 to Build
It's actually rather amazing that the PS4 only costs $399 (USD) at retail stores as a recent hardware breakdown found that the components total about $381 (USD) for the system. This is in stark contrast to when the PlayStation 3 debuted in 2006. That console was found to cost $805 to make and sold for "just" $599.

Report: Next-Gen Tomb Raider Reveal Likely Coming at VGX
VGX is the new name for the Video Game Awards (VGAs) from years past. It seems like this year will be no exception to the rule of "new game trailer reveals" at the event as Square Enix is alluding to a new Tomb Raider next-gen reveal at this year's event in December.
It started off simply with an Amazon Italy listing for a PS4 version of Tomb Raider. After, a Square Enix representative told IGN to keep an eye out for events in December for a potential reveal.

Happy Birthday - Half-Life Released 15 Years Ago Today
While we don't have any elaborate write-up here to celebrate the 15th anniversary since the original Half-Life was released, the folks at Rock, Paper, Shotgun do.
When I think about Half-Life the very first things that come to mind are crowbar, intro sequence, that first broken elevator, Xen, the noise of a face-hugger… Memories pour in, dozens of them, faster than I can keep up with. There are few games that my brain stores in such detail. But of everything in the game, I think... -
Tested Compares PlayStation 4 Hard Drives - SSD, Hybrid, and HDD
Will Smith from Tested.com recently put the PlayStation 4 through a number of tests to perhaps answer, "how much will a solid-state drive improve performance on a console?" The answer may not surprise you but there are some catches here.

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... -
