Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sony's next-generation console, the PlayStation 4, was launched last night in America.
With a special event hosted by Sony Entertainment Network at New York's The Standard, 444 consoles were sold as fans camped and queued to get their hands on the latest PS4.
The console has 8GB of system memory, 500GB of storage and a Blu-ray player.
It will be competing against Microsoft's Xbox One and Nintendo's Wii U.
Joey Chiu, 24, was the lucky man, and biggest fan to be first in line, to get the first console to be sold.
