PS3

If the idea of watching movies and catch-up TV via your PlayStation appeals, then you will be happy to hear that Sony plans to launch a PS3 movie streaming service in the UK this coming October.

The creator of Sony's PlayStation Move technology believes that having no controller at all - like rival Kinect technology from Microsoft - is 'limiting'.

Sony is considering developing a 3D-slider tool for the PlayStation 3, very much like the 3D-slider option recently announced by Nintendo for its forthcomign 3DS glasses-free handheld console.

A select few PlayStation Plus subscribers in the US will be able to try out the console's much heralded Hulu Plus TV streaming service today, according to Sony.

Sony believes that people looking at what console to buy should take into consideration that the PlayStation 3 is 'future-proofed in terms of 3D.'

Sony is set to launch a 'Classic White' PS3 in Japan and bump up the storage capacity on its games console to a maximum 320GB later this month.

Sony's PlayStation 3 has finally become a profitable machine for the company, for the first time since the console launched back in 2006.

Sony has released PS3 firmware update 3.40 in the US bringing the much heralded PlayStation Plus subscription service, and promises the UK will get the update 'soon'.

Not literally… but it is 'doing incredibly well'
