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 Prices Falling in the UK, NOW!

It looks like the price of the PSP is coming down in the UK to match the cuts across Europe and Australia. Tesco has slashed the price of a PSP-3000 to £99 from £149, its the red model, but that's okay right? For reference, the piano black 3000 model is £125 while a white PSPGo is £145.

This might just be Tesco having a spring sale or it could be them getting ahead of a formal announcement from Sony UK. Either way expect cheaper PSPs elsewhere soon as others follow suit. Which can only be good news, what with most PSP games being pretty cheap either new or second hand, or even on the PSN store.

Having had a look around, Sainsbury's is only selling the PSPGo at £225, Game has PSP-3000s in for £130 with HMV doing them for £142. If you know of anywhere with them (new) as cheap or cheaper, let us know.
