Having a NAT Type 3 can hamper the online gaming experience as it won’t allow you to log into certain servers or queue up with friends in certain games, potentially leading to the “NAT Type Failed” error....

Among the changes to the PS5 plan, Bloomberg reports that there was once a mirrorless camera included with the console but Sony has since had to abandon that idea.
