PlayStation Fan Makes Neat Discovery at Yard Sale
A PlayStation fan found something pretty cool at a yard sale: a vintage-looking hooded jacket with the console's branding. Sony has a history of releasing great-looking merch for its IPs, and this awesome find is just another example of a treat for fashion-minded gamers.

The PS5 is set to have a promising year, with a long list of releases throughout 2024. It's already started strong with huge titles like The Last of Us 2 Remastered andTekken 8, and is
