Here are some fancy product shots of the white PS4 and PS Vita TV

Big ol’ gallery I went to snap images of the new PS4, PS TV, and all of the new controllers and accessories, but the floors was crowded and dark (and stinky), and the goods were behind an ultra-reflective glass case. Frustrated, I came back to the E3 press room to get some work done. When I sat down I found the very first message in my inbox was from Sony.

New Horizon Zero Dawn footage from the State of Play stream That’s a wrap on today’sState of PlayforHorizon Forbidden West, and… no release date! Drat.
