June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

PSP Update Live, Yay! PSN Store Next Week, Boo!

The bad news is that this is Sony is now saying the store won't be up until the end of the month AKA next Tuesday, blaming speculation for the stories about the store coming back today. Fairly sure Sony mentioned the 24th somewhere, but hey what's another week after this mayhem?

Once you enter your existing details on the site, you get the same message that PS3 users have suffered with, that an email will be sent to your account within 24 hours. We'll see how long that takes.

[UPDATE] - Yay, only took about ten minutes. You then go through the password reset system and can then update your card details (because you did cancel yours like a careful consumer didn't you?). Now, there is just the wait until the store comes back up... before it instantly crashes again under the demand.
