Sony can't seem to catch a break. The company was hit by hackers once again, this time by a group that targeted the PlayStation Network. The hub for games and movies was down for about two hours on Monday.

Meanwhile, limited edition gray

units have been selling for as much as $20,000 on eBay. We have one man to thank for today's video game mania: Ralph Baer, who invented the first video game console. He died Saturday at age 92.
