Now that Minecraft is a full game, the actual version 1.8 will be released soon. Until then we have Snapshot 14w02c.
Many new additions are going to be added into the ever expanding game. Ones that are being talked about are 3 new types of stone, and Slime Blocks. They also are fixing many features already implemented, such as changes in Enchanting, Anvil Repairing, and Adventure Mode. Jeb (Minecraft's current leader and co-creator), is also adding small things such as the ability to stack Doors up to 64, and being able to craft Chiseled and Mossy Stone Bricks. They're also working on making Minecraft run smoother and have better preformance by changing up the coding, which is always nice.
It's currently unknown when the full update will come out, but die hard Minecraft fans will be waiting for it daily.

Playstation Now is the newest project Sony's revealed for us. It's a streaming service for games, similar to Netflix's streaming service for movies and TV shows. At CES, Sony was giving a first-hand look at PS3 games such as God of War: Ascension, and The Last of Us all on Playstation now.
Through PS Now it's possible to stream PS3 games through different Sony products such as the PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Sony’s BRAVIA TVs, Sony smartphones, and tablets. Using the Cloud, you will be able to save your game on one product, and continue on another. Like moving from the tablet to the Vita. The service isn't fully functional yet, and will be in Beta by the end of January. Sony say they will offer it as a subscription.
Playstation Now is scheduled to be fully released in the Summer
