PlayStation Now won't come to the UK until Sony 'learns' from US http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/pl ... us-1220477It'll still require massive 'updates'. ... Microsoft may launch a cheaper Xbox One console in 2014, reports claim http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/co ... im-1220736That's exactly what they'll be doing in that instance  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Microsoft considering legal action against Xbox One leaker http://www.computerandvideogames.com/44 ... ne-leaker/I wonder if that translates as, 'FFS, we could have shifted some of this stock only for you!' _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Nintendo is open to mergers or acquisitions, says Iwata http://www.computerandvideogames.com/44 ... ays-iwata/They might buy games developers but they'd need to be stone broke before they'd merge with anyone else. And the last time they partnered they created Sony's games division  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Just got off the phone with Microsoft in the US of A. I'd sent a letter to a senior exec in the UK highlighting the issue with Xbox One controllers (ht tp://planet-veato.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/is-there-problem-with-xbox-one.html) and noted my displeasure at having to cover postage to send them back each time one breaks - which is ALL the time. Apparently I'll be refunded my postage costs x 2 in MS points and another free controller will be making its way to me. Whilst this isn't filling full of MS love (MS points and another controller to break!) she also seemed to suggest the issues with the controller and postage charges are being raised with executives and that I've got an open line with her to corporate office to discuss this and any further issues. Not sure what to make of it all really. _________________Twitter Blogflickr

Sounds like you got a good dral as well as a contact if there are any further isssues. As for the problem with the controller could be a serious quality control failure in production. _________________Finally joined Flickr

UK PS4 supply drought will end by April, claims Sony exec http://www.computerandvideogames.com/45 ... sony-exec/I've often wondered if they'd have sold so many if the One (sniggers) didn't make it seem like a bargain. Mind you, MS did take anti-tank weaponry to their own feet in the launch build-up, and Sony haven't came through with many of the PS4's supposed features yet... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
