Sony puts an end to Ustream game broadcasts on PS4

It seems the partnership between Sony and Ustream is now over. Sony has announced that starting August 1^st, PlayStation 4 players will now only be able to live stream games on Twitch, YouTube, and DailyMotion. Aside from that, you won’t be able to view Ustream videos from the “Live from PlayStation” portal on the console, mobile PS app, and PS Vita. It wasn’t explicitly specified why the support has ended. But Ustream hasn’t really been making news when it comes to game live streaming. The last we heard from them was when they were bought by IBM to power enterprise broadcast services.

Sony PlayStation 4 gets official remote control

With the Sony PlayStation 4 not having an infrared sensor, you couldn't control it with a standard remote control. So, if you wanted to watch a Blu-ray on it, you still had to have the game controller on hand. Sony is fixing this issue with the release of its official PlayStation 4 Universal Media Remote. This remote can control three other devices, such as your TV and receiver, via IR. The remote will be available later this month for US$29.99.
