This custom portable PS4 Slim handheld created by modder “wewillmakeitnow” is a truly remarkable personal achievement in 2026. Years after gamers dreamed of a real handheld version of Sony’s 2016 console, this one-man project comes along and delivers: a completely functional, handheld version of the PS4 that can run games directly on the device without any streaming or external hosting.
Sony has built a strong reputation in the audio world over the years, though wireless earbuds have never really been the one category where the company shines. The Japanese company is now taking a dramatic step into the open-ear arena with a new earbud design: the LinkBuds Clip, a set of earbuds that clip onto the outside of your ear rather than sitting inside it, allowing you to hear both the music and the world around you.
Earlier this week, Sony rocked the TV industry with an announcement that will have a lasting impact on their future. The company has just launched a new joint venture with TCL Electronics to oversee everything from the actual design of their TVs and audio gear right through to getting them to customers…all over the world that is.
Sony released the Trinitron KV-3000R television in 1981, which redefined luxury. This console was the peak of their lineup, combining modern picture technology with a truly high-end living room cabinet. It cost a hefty $10,000, including delivery, which is now comparable to a startling $35,000, but was an ultimate luxury in a suffering economy.
Sony packed the first PlayStation into the small PSOne years ago, but even that version appeared too large for some die-hard fans. Secret Hobbyist is one of these gamers that went above and above. He chose to reconstruct the console’s core on a board tiny enough to fit in the palm of his hand, with no emulation and only authentic Sony components.
Sony Honda Mobility just had their huge press conference at CES in Las Vegas, but what was the true message? Well, we know the AFEELA 1 sedan will be available later this year. However, the true show-stopper was yet to arrive: the AFEELA Prototype 2026, a compact electric SUV that not only provides clients with another option, but also demonstrates additional space and functionality.
Sony debuted the PS-F5 in 1983, just as cassette tapes and the first Walkmans dominated portable music. Vinyl looked to be confined in living rooms, tethered to weighty platters and delicate arms. Sony engineers decided to change that. They created a portable turntable that plays records standing upright, runs on four AA batteries, and weighs so little that it can be carried anywhere.
Sony released the PS-FL99 in 1983, just as compact discs were changing the way people listened to music. Vinyl records still held strong appeal for many listeners at that time, and Sony crafted this model to keep the format fresh with clever engineering. Collectors these days are looking for any surviving PS-FL99s they can find since, let’s face it, after more than four decades, most of them aren’t functional.
Sony launched the PlayStation 2 in 2000, and it immediately became the world’s best-selling console. In 2002, the company decided to release an official Linux kit in specified locations. This small package allowed owners to convert their game console into a rudimentary computer capable of running the full Linux operating system.
Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Pro into a saturated console market last year, charging a stunning $749 for a machine that boasts more power than any previous PlayStation. Now, a year later, and a $100 price drop has brought it down to $649. With the deal coming to an end, gamers have a unique opportunity to get this improved system before prices rise again.
