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.

PS Vitas turning up on eBay for import

So, avid gamer, your choice is wait a few months and pay £229/£289 for a western console on 22 February. Or dash online to eBay and pay £369 for the WiFi version (plus £40 - ouch - postage when you read the small print) to get one in the UK (hopefully) in time for Christmas.



A few other chancers are putting up adverts closer to £480 including postage while some are advertising 16GB memory cards for the Vita at £90 (4Gb a bargain at only £62). All-in-all, despite really wanting one, I'll hang on for a few months thanks.

Also, if its anything like previous gadget launches, there will be plenty of scams and dodgy offers around, so if you do decide to import, be careful!
