This week's Digital Foundry Direct Weekly kicks off with first impressions on Sony's PlayStation Portal, which we received around the same time that the embargo lifted. Since then, the device has already sold out and in my experience, it's already commanding anything up to a £150 price premium.

A recent job listing for Warner Bros. and developer Monolith Productions' upcoming Wonder Woman game sought a 'Lead Software Engineer, Gameplay', with "live software product or game" experience listed as a "nice to have".

Including Japanese exclusives, that's 388 games - 7530 fewer than released on the PlayStation. It's odd, then, in such a relatively small selection, how much room there is for games to fall through the cracks and slip out of our... Read more ›
