Then pass Microsoft company on Sony's PlayStation in China

Only for about a month, Microsoft has announced that he will bring the Xbox in China come September, his ban courtesy of the local government lifted rather lax imported video games and consoles. Today, Sony has finally confirmed that the PlayStation console of Redmond in the far East actually will join. As Microsoft with China BesTV cooperation Sony called the cooperation with a local company Shanghai Oriental Pearl culture development (DCP short). SINA tech pointed out, it's interesting that the BesTV and fads are media group part of Shanghai.

Joint venture between Sony and DCP are two companies: one that handle manufacturing and sale of equipment and other services through sale, license, distribution and r & E software handle. Sony China holds 70% of the newly-formed Sony Computer Entertainment (Shanghai) (no doubt, who manages the hardware part), but only 49% of other new business development called Shanghai Oriental Pearl Sony computer entertainment culture.

As you can imagine, the announcement that the joint venture "will introduce" quality, healthy games noted suitable to the national conditions of China and the preferences of the national actors, because according to Government policy. This means that we will probably see that censored much PlayStation games out there (and also less games in General), as well as our hypothesis is that the consoles still not compatible with play, which could be released in other countries. That is, it should not be forgotten that China joint venture Nintendo iQue, never this kind of regional applied on the DS and DS 3-limitation when it is sold.

What is not clear is when and to whom the PlayStation products officially hits stores in China, but formerly as Sony tried, about his long preparation for this launch, we would not be surprised if the Japanese company Microsoft in the race here.

Sony's online store will be the only place to buy its best phone in the US

Sony's Xperia Z2 may be a big, powerful slab of a phone, but fans in the United States hoping to snag one in-person or with a contract are out of luck... for now, at least. The company just confirmed that neither it nor its tiny cousin the Z1 Compact will make their way to US store shelves "in the near future." The news comes as sort of bummer considering that Sony's Z2 has received pretty consistent acclaim so far, but hey -- at least Sony isn't completely full of bad news. An unlocked version of the Z2 will be available in the company's online store come the summer, though anyone hoping to nab one a pint-sized Z1 (which is no slouch either) will have to ferret out some alternate sources. At least Xperia fans in need of a fix have at least one option: the Xperia Z2 tablet will be available here soon, and it's easily one of the best 10.1 Android tabs coming to market.

Sony's latest home audio systems balance looks, price and sound quality

Heres the thing with soundbars, sound plates and every other gadget that attempts to fill the niche between a full 5.1 home theater system and the tiny speakers built into your TV--they rarely sound great and they usually look even worse. Of course, there are always trade offs to be made, but the question that vexes us is, are they worth it? Sony is hoping that it's found a proper balance with it's latest trio of home audio setups and hit certain sweet spots on the bell curve of sound quality and design (and price).
