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 to Vita game transfers for dummies, really!

Sony has put up a blog post explaining the process for getting games from your PSP to the Vita. Remember, this is the company that changed the memory card format so we can't just stick our old cards in and play our digital downloads. This is also the company that just scrapped the Passport games transfer scheme for UMD owning gamers.

So, of course, Sony was going to make it annoying to do. Basically you can either redownload those old games from the Vita store, using your existing PSN account. See that's really how I want to spend the first few days with my new console, downloading gigs worth of data as my bandwidth limit caves in, as the system gets hammered by millions of gamers all downloading their old titles - that'll go well!

Of course, the alternative is to copy them from your PS3. Well I, and I guess quite a few other PSP owners don't have a PS3. So method one it is. Sony has listed 275 titles that are compatible and instantly I see missing from the list is LittleBigPlanet, Tekken Dark Resurrection, LEGO Star Wars and a few others I would want to copy over.

So, PSP owners, brew a big pot of coffee, stock up on Vita games and then wait until all the fuss calms down before trying to copy over your old PSP titles, assuming they are there. Then you can kick in the upscaled filtering and enjoy them all over again, if you haven't beaten yourself unconscious in the process.
