Coming This Fall: PlayStation TV, Sony's New Set-Top Box

Sony is ready to get into the micro-console gaming fight, with its PlayStation TV set to debut this fall.

This console is essentially meant to be the Apple TV for gaming. Sony's plan is to target families with children to promote playing together, as well as allow for greater use throughout the home. If you've got a PlayStation 4, simply add the PS TV for a cheap(er) way to extend the console's functionality to another TV.

Stream games, movies, music, and TV shows directly to the sleek little box, and control everything with a PS3 or PS4 controller.

And the price isn't half bad: only $99 for the console alone. They do have a package price of $139 and includes the console, a controller, a PS Vita micro chip, and the Lego Movie game. Not too shabby for extra forty bucks!

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
