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...

New PS Vita Firmware 1.67 out, much ado about nothing

Now available for download, the new update doesn't seem to do much. It fixed a problem with Dream Club Portable for Japanese users yesterday. 1.67 is 94Mb big and will take a few minutes of your life to achieve absolutely nothing. I do hate it when any company does these noddy updates.

The last update had few unlisted benefits, so we'll wait and see if eager users find any additional benefits before firmly tagging this under "waste of space." Just in case Sony has forgotten, the list of things it needs to fix is:

PS One game support
PS3-Vita Online ID equalisation
Skype
PS2 Support (the hardware can clearly do it, so come on Sony!)
TV out (I'll happily buy a lead or HDWiFi dongle)

Anything else you can think of?
