PS4 More Powerful Than Xbox 720

PlayStation 4's early technical specifications are looking "more powerful" than those of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox targets, according to PSM3's development sources. Reporting via a PS4 news special in its latest issue, which hits news stands on Wednesday, January 11, the mag cites sources suggesting that Microsoft's machine will beat Sony's to market "if only by months".

PSM3's sister mag, Xbox World, publishes a similar source-digging next-gen special in its issue out on the same day, claiming that the next Xbox will ship in late 2013 with a PowerPC-based processor from IBM and 'Kinect 2.0' out of the box. The latter matches up with previous reports, and according to Xbox World it's one reason PS4's looking like it might outperform 360's successor in the processing department.

With its next console Microsoft is looking to focus on "utility and innovation," the report says. The latest rumour reports arrive hours after MCV's claims that both PS4 and Xbox 720 will be shown at this year's E3.

According to the trade mag, Sony and Microsoft have both indicated to third-parties that they'll be showing off their next-generation machines at the Los Angeles show, spoiling Nintendo's Wii U re-reveal in the process. Read the full PS4 story in PSM3, on sale 11 January, where you'll also find a world-first review of Soulcalibur V, an in-depth look at Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, plus 20 essential tips on how to squeeze more from your PS3.

For insider knowledge on the next Xbox, read the complete story in Xbox World, where there's also an exclusive hands on with Mass Effect 3's single player campaign and an epic feature on the most beautiful, hard-to-find places in Skyrim. It's on sale 11 January.

Rihanna - Talk That Talk Announced As Rihanna's 3rd Single

Rihanna is set to release 'Talk That Talk' as her next single, it has been reported. The singer's next single, chosen by fans, will feature Jay-Z and Kanye West, according to Australian Music Report. The original version of the track only features Jay-Z and it is not yet known what part Kanye West will play in the single.

Last month Rihanna took to Twitter to ask fans what they thought her next single should be: She replied: "Ok DONE!!!! I like what I see...and decisions are MADE!!! #NEXTSINGLE. And we on da same page...(For the most part)."

Meanwhile, Rihanna has claimed the title of the biggest-selling digital artist of all time. The singer has beaten the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Eminem after selling over 47.5 million downloads throughout her career. The Black Eyed Peas ranked in at number two with digital sales of 42.4 million, while Eminem took third place after selling 42.2 million downloads.

Amazing Songs: No Son Of Mine - Genesis

This is a new feature I am starting on my site. Posting songs that are just amazing. The first is 'No Son Of Mine' by Genesis. 'No Son of Mine' is the first single by the British rock group Genesis from their 1991 album 'We Can't Dance', which reached #6 in the UK and #12 in the U.S. It made #8 on the Dutch Top 40. 

The song's lyrics tell the story of a boy who runs away from his abusive home, and after some reconsideration attempts to return, only to be rebuked by his father. In interviews, Phil Collins has said that the lyrics are deliberately vague as to whether the narrator or his mother is the victim of the abuse.

The video for this song is particularly melancholic, illustrating the scene in sepia tone. The video essentially depicts what is discussed in the song, which is a conversation between a son and his father. During the last chorus snow flakes begin appearing flying wildly around the house, eventually at the end the scene pulls out to reveal the entire confrontation scenes take place in a snowglobe that the son is holding.

Mental News: Woman Poo's In Shop

This is just wrong on so many levels. A woman just poo's in a shop out of nowhere. Well out of somewhere but you get what I mean.

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

Here is the new single from Jason Mraz, 'I Won't Give Up'.

Absolutely Fabulous - Series 6

Jennifer Saunders is being lined up to write a new series of 'Absolutely Fabulous' for 2013. After the comedienne and her co-star Joanna Lumley - who play PR guru Eddy Monsoon and her flamboyant friend Patsy Stone in the BBC One show - returned to screens for the first time in almost seven years for a festive special this Christmas, series chiefs are urging her to pen a new season.

An insider told the Daily Express: "The viewing figures prove it's as popular as ever and there's a real appetite for more episodes. Obviously it's down to Jennifer to write more and getting all the actors together takes some organising. "But the current understanding is there will be another Christmas special for the end of 2012 and then more episodes the following year."

As well as another one-off show already having been filmed - which is due to be screened during the London 2012 Olympics later this year - Jennifer recently revealed she is planning on filming a hotly-anticipated 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie on the French Riviera. She said: "I'm definitely going to do it. I'm aiming to shoot this in a beautiful part of the Riviera. I fancy the South of France in the spring."
