Sony is about to release the 7.00 system update for all PlayStation 4 owners later this week. This update has been a part of a public beta test since near the end of July 2019. This long testing period should hopefully mean that all of the issues have been ironed out prior to the public release.

What are the big features planned for 7.00? First and foremost we will see the increase in the number of players supported in a PlayStation 4 Party. The current maximum number of players is 8....

Some games can be had for up to 80% off.

Sony just kicked off a big double discount sale for a bunch of PlayStation 4 games, a decent amount of PlayStation 3 titles, and a handful of Vita games. I say that this is a "double discount" because that's what Sony is saying. There is already a sale price for non PlayStation Plus subscribers. But if you are a Plus subscriber, there is an additional discount on top.

This means that non-Plus subscribers can get up to 40% off on select titles during this sale, while Plus subs can get up to 80%...
