By Ryan Fleming Published November 12, 2013

The PlayStation 4 is due to hit store shelves on Friday November 15, 2013, but we got our hands on one early. Keep an eye out for our review on Wednesday November 13, where we take a close look at everything from the hardware to the UI to the aesthetics of the case. We’ll break down the system and test it out, but if you have a specific question regarding the PS4, let us know now.

If it is within our power, we’ll test it out for you and report our findings. Curious if a certain website will run in the PS4 browser? Want to know how much it weighs? Wondering if it has a power brick on the AC cord? We may already plan to answer many of your questions, but feel free to ask, we are at your disposal.

Just don’t ask us to test how far of a drop it can survive, or if it can operate while underwater. That would just be mean.

Intel may be cooking up a budget Panther Lake chip for gaming handhelds

The rumored chip would be considerably simpler than the Arc G3 Extreme, but could make Intel-powered handhelds more affordable.

Intel may be preparing a more affordable alternative to its powerful Arc G3 Extreme handheld processor. According to leaker Jaykihn, the company is working on a Panther Lake-based chip with eight CPU cores and four Xe3 GPU cores, potentially giving handheld manufacturers a way to build cheaper devices without abandoning Intel's latest architecture.

Sony still hasn’t fixed a launch date for the PS6, and that’s telling

The company's shift toward entertainment and intellectual property means its future isn't riding entirely on the next console.

The PS6 has been surrounded by rumors pointing toward 2027, but Sony itself still isn't ready to put a date on the calendar. Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki has confirmed that the company still hasn't fixed a launch date for the PlayStation 6, according to the Wall Street Journal. That's particularly interesting because analysts had increasingly expected the next PlayStation to arrive in 2027. Those expectations are now becoming less certain as AI demand drives shortages of key components and pushes up memory costs across the wider gaming and entertainment industry.

There is a rather optimistic argument doing the rounds about Sony's decision to kill physical PlayStation game discs: maybe digital games will finally become cheaper. Former Square Enix business development director Jacob Navok argues that removing manufacturing and distribution costs, combined with greater competition between publishers, could push digital prices down and create a Steam-like environment on the PlayStation Store.
