If you're an ardent PC racing fiend, chances are that you either own or have heard of Logitech's G27. The G27 has been a popular gaming peripheral (it supports the PC, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3) that not only includes a steering wheel and three pedals (accelerator, brake, clutch), but also a six-speed "H" pattern gearbox. Today, Logitech is finally introducing successors, the G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and the G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for PS3 and PS4, as well as PC and Xbox One racers, respectively. Both wheels are equipped with dual-motor force feedback, 900-degree (2.5 turns to lock) steering, helical gearing, and anti-backlash hardware. Logitech is also hoping to impart a premium feel to its new controllers courtesy of a hand-stitched leather wheel, stainless steel paddle shifters, and steel ball bearings to stand up to abuse. Like its predecessor, the G29 and G920 both come with a separate, floor-mounted three-pedal unit to keep your feet busy when blasting around the Nürburgring. Unfortunately, the six-speed shifter unit that used to come standard in the box with the G27 is now an optional accessory. The G29 will be available this July, while the G920 won't arrive at retailers until October.

The ongoing PlayStation Now streaming games beta in the UK has entered paid beta modes, revealing some possible early pricing for the service.
Eurogamer reports that titles seem to fall into two tiers. The first tier prices two day rentals at £4.99 and 30 days at £9.99. The second, cheaper tier is priced at £2.99 and £7.99 for the same.
In the US gamers are able to sign up to a PSNow subscription for $19.99 a month, or $44.99 for three months.
Sony has said, however, that the final pricing for the service is yet to be determined.
"During the paid private beta the titles will be priced between £2.99 and £9.99," a spokesperson explained. "Final pricing for when PS Now fully launches has not been confirmed yet but we'll continue to listen to gamer feedback on this subject.
"PS Now is an evolving service and user feedback will be a key part of our service design decisions, including content and pricing."

Racing fans will soon have a couple of additional options when it comes to next-gen ready racing wheels.
Logitech has unveiled the G29 for PS4, PS3 and PC along with the GP20 for Xbox One and PC. Both feature force feedback and a dual-motor force feedback transmission and a pedal unit.
The cost? £299.99 apiece, which clearly is a lot of money but is also in line with other high-end products in the sector. The PlayStation unit will be released this July and the Xbox wheel in October. A gear stick peripheral will be available separately.
“Our fans have been asking for a PS4 wheel since launch of the system,” Logitech gaming VP and GM Ujesh Desai said. “For the past 18 months we have been working with Sony to deliver a fully-licensed racing wheel and I am excited to announce it today.”
“The G920 is the wheel fans have been asking for on Xbox One. We built on our history and legacy of previous generation driving wheels to deliver on a truly immersive experience for Xbox One gamers. I personally can’t wait to get behind our new wheel to play Forza Motorsport 6.”

 We knew PlayStation Now support was coming to Samsung Smart TVs, but now it's finally here. If you have a compatible 2015 set in your home (or office), you can now start streaming games directly from Sony's subscription service. However, do keep in mind that you'll need a DualShock 4 controller to get started -- which is much better than needing an entire console. Up until now, PlayStation Now had only been compatible with Sony hardware, including the PS4, PS3, PS Vita and some TVs, so it's great to see the service become more widely available. Unfortunately, this is only available to users in the US and Canada, at least for the time being.

We've known that PlayStation Vue would hit iPad sooner or later and now Sony's TV streaming service finally has. PlayStation Vue Mobile's available in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia (the same cities the service launched in earlier this year) at the moment, and it's basically the same as what's on your PS4 in terms of functionality. So, video on demand, live TV and access to your favorite shows and channels as long as you're in one of the three aforementioned cities. You still need a PS4 to sign up, of course, and blackout restrictions can occasionally block streaming, just like we've seen with Sling TV. Usually, that means sporting events blacked out for various reasons, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Sony kicked off closed beta testing of its PlayStation Now game streaming service in the UK a couple of months ago, and now it's time to talk turkey. Beta participants previously had unrestricted access to the PS Now streaming catalogue, but Sony's just started experimenting with rental pricing. A full-fat PS3 title now costs £5 to rent for two days, or £10 if you want to stretch that to a 30-day term; PS3-era PlayStation Network games are slightly cheaper at £3 and £8 for two- and 30-day rental periods, respectively. Bear in mind, PS Now is still in the early stages of beta testing in the UK, and Sony's made it clear that it'll be playing around with "different rental options at different price points."

Long-time Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi is currently Kickstarting a spiritual sequelto the series called Bloodstained. Thanks to the overwhelming response to the campaign -- it's now the highest-grossing videogame Kickstarter ever -- the game is coming to PS Vita and Wii U. While that's great news for fans of the genre, the knock-on effect of the port could be huge. Bloodstained is being built using Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), and Armature Studio, the developer in charge of the Vita and Wii U versions, will be the first to port the popular engine to the platforms. Why's that so important? Well, both consoles are currently unsupported, and Armature says it will share its Vita and Wii U code with any developer authorised to create games for the systems, potentially opening the door for many more ports of UE4-powered games in the future.

The way in which Sony handles victims of account fraud on PSN could be about to change.
The BBC’s consumer show Watchdog last week highlighted two problems with Sony’s fraud response measures.
The first is that it has been refusing to refund content that has been purchased by third parties illicitly using hacked accounts unless it can be shown that the content was faulty. In addition, those who fall victim to an account hack are also finding themselves locked out of their PSN profiles even once the fraud has been confirmed.
"We would like to thank BBC Watchdog for bringing these cases to our attention,” Sony said in a statement. “Having reviewed the evidence, we concluded that these appear to be fraudulent transactions, and further, that unfortunately the service received by both Mr Archer and Mr Lappin fell below the high standards we set for ourselves.
“We would like to apologise to them both, and notify them that we have taken immediate action to reinstate their accounts and refund the wallet top up as appropriate.
“We are also reviewing the investigation process that is applied to allegations of unauthorised account use. We take the safety and security of our customers’ accounts very seriously, and have a range of industry-leading security measures in place to protect our customers. It is, however, imperative that all consumers take every precaution to protect their personal details online.”

Andrew House, the president of the PlayStation business, says the company will go after more third-party exclusives for PS4 this year.
The move is designed to counter what House calls a ‘sparse’ line-up of first-party games.
When he says exclusives, he doesn’t necessarily mean complete exclusives.
“We were able to announce a full exclusive around Street Fighter V,” he said during a Q&A session during the firm’s investor day. “But giving publishing dynamics and development costs, that’s increasingly difficult to secure.
“What we’ve sought to do is rather than seeking for complete exclusives, we have looked to publishers to really maximise the feature set of PS4 versus the competition.
He adds: “We are not without partnerships that are in the area of third-party titles that are not necessarily around full exclusivity. A good example is Destiny, where although it is available on other platforms, the best place to play Destiny - and sometimes the first place to play content for Destiny - is on PlayStation.”
He believes that PS3 and PS Vita sales will continue to slide significantly, but talked up the success of PS4. He told investors that he will be bolstering the console’s network functionality and commissioning more original PlayStation non-game content, such as the recent PlayStation TV series, Powers.
He also said that this will be a year of investment for PlayStation, including support for PlayStation Now and Morpheus.
“This year is the beginning of a harvest period for PS4, and it will be a year of investment. We will continue to invest in the platform architecture that underpins our platform. We will continue to invest in PlayStation Vue, we will undertake further investment into PlayStation original content, and of course we will invest strongly in PlayStation Morpheus, as we will look to launch an entire new business.”

PlayStation’s digital refund policy is to be the focus of a segment on tonight’s (Thursday May 28th) Watchdog.
The BBC’s consumer rights programme will be looking at the case of one John Lappin, a PlayStation 4 owner who was refused a refund after a fraudulent £39.99 purchase was made on his PSN account.
Sony’s black and white ‘no refunds’ policy meant that he could not be returned his money unless the content purchased was defective. This isn’t by any means a unique policy – most digital download platforms have similar rules.
After Lappin’s complaint, PlayStation investigated and replied saying:
“Our investigation concluded that the serial number of the console on which these transactions were made does not match the serial number of the console you provided to us on your original call. Regrettably, as stated in the PlayStation Network Terms of Service, we are unable to offer a refund for purchases made on PlayStation Store unless the content is found to be defective."
Lappin – under the username Pockets – himself has been campaigning along with online forumRllmuk to be heard about PlayStation's digital refund policy.
You can catch Watchdog on BBC One at 8pm tonight.

Sony has long been willing to discount certain PlayStation games if you're a Plus subscriber, but it hasn't offered the certainty of Xbox Live's Deals With Gold. You don'tknow that you're going to get a steady stream of bargains, especially not for newer titles. That doubt should disappear after today, though. Sony has launched PlayStation Plus Specials, a sale program that gives you a break on games and add-ons that are still relatively fresh. How fresh? To start, you're getting 20 percent off Bloodborne in the US -- a sweet deal for a big PS4 hack-and-slash that's only a couple of months old. It's too soon to tell whether these offers will be as tempting down the line, but it's also hard to object to getting more savings for your money.

Sony has revealed plans to simulcast its E3 2015 press briefing at select movie theater locations throughout the US and Canada.
The company simulcasted its E3 presentation in theaters across North America in 2014, and apparently it was well enough received to do the same again this year.
Tickets for the event are free and will be offered on May 27th– with 80 per cent of each theater's capacity held for ticket holders, while the remaining 20 per cent to be reserved for those on the wait list. The latter group being admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition to the presentation, attendees will also get access to a post-show hosted by Geoff Keighley as well as a “special PlayStation surprise.” Those in attendance must be 17 years of age or older and have a valid form of ID to prove it.
Sony's E3 2015 press conference takes place Monday, June 15th at 6:30 pm Pacific

PlayStation is setting up a development studio in North West England dedicated to make games for its Project Morpheus VR headset.
As spotted by Eurogamer, Sony has been advertising for experienced developers on its job site for a ‘North West Studio’ to work exclusively on content for Project Morpheus.
Eurogamer also has reliable information saying that the team will feature staff from DriveClub studio Evolution, and that the new developer will be in Manchester.
In March of this year, Sony confirmed that there would be lay-offs at Evolution Studio and that it would be "looking to relocate team members through the studios".
The jobs listings are going to be up until July 31st, suggesting that we won’t be hearing from this studio for some time.
Indeed, speaking to Eurogamer, a Sony spokesperson said: “We are still in the early planning phase with this studio, and are currently focused on hiring the right team.
"We look forward to sharing more news and formal announcements in the near future."
In March, Sony confirmed that its Morpheus VR headset would be coming to stores in the first half of 2016.

It's getting real for Sony's Project Morpheus. The electronics giant has posted job listings (eight, all told) for veteran animators, level designers and a few others to fill out a studio dedicated entirely to making virtual reality games. "Based in the North West of England, we aim to build a small but highly experienced team who want to build great games to showcase this exciting new immersive technology," the postings say. As Eurogamer reports, the Morpheus-exclusive studio should wind up in Manchester, and staff that formerly worked at Driveclub's Evolution Studios are involved here. Perhaps that's why the available positions are somewhat limited in number. Regardless, if you were questioning how serious Sony's push into VR was, this might sate your curiosity a bit.

The upcoming release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has brought with it another cut-price deal, this time for PS4.
PlayStation UK’s Twitter account itself promoted a code that allows customers to order a PS4 console and the upcoming RPG for just £279.99. The item will be available next Tuesday (May 18th).
Sony late last month promoted a £299.99 offer for its machine, although many retailers cut this further to £290.
Today’s news is just the latest development in what has become a surprisingly fierce price war between Sony and Microsoft and both scrap for weekly dominance in the UK sales race.
Sony UK boss Fergal Gara today told MCV that such a battle can prove dangerous for all parties.
“Any price war in any sector in any market can be dangerous,” he said. “If there is a race to zero, who wins from that? We are proud that we managed to launch at a very competitive price, and demand has held up very strongly for PS4.
“Therefore, our RRP on day one is our RRP today. Yes, there are promotions that offer consumers better value from time-to-time, but it’s great that we managed to start at such a great price and it has held well.”
