Watch this: PlayStation is 20 and Stephen Hawking's robopocalypse in CNET UK podcast 413

Can you believe the Sony PlayStation is 20 years old? To celebrate, we delve back into the mists of time for some classic gaming memories.

Speaking of which, a resurrected ZX Spectrum is taking Indiegogo by storm -- and while we're being nostalgic, we take our final trip to Middle-earth by turning up to the premiere of " The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies".

Speaking of classic film franchises, we're still digesting the first trailer for " Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" -- that's if we can see it, because BT broadband is broken.

Stephen Hawking works with Intel to develop a new communications system that's twice as efficient as his old version. In other Hawking news, the famous physicist also predicted the end of humanity at the hands of artificial intelligence. So that's something to look forward to.

And we find out why the YotaPhone 2 dual-screen smartphone is a great concept but the price ain't right. Hit play on the video and enjoy!
