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...

PSN EU Update: Metal Gear, YouTube, Jonah Lomu and Ridge Race Ultimate plus that huge sale!

The PS EU Store update post has been made (actually update between 3&4PM UK time, with most of these releases probably not happening until Friday) with a decent roster of Vita games.

Top of the list is Metal Gear HD Collection, which arguments about it not being in HD or a proper collection aside, is pretty damn hot gaming. The pack is only £19.99 which is annoyingly less than I pre-ordered for, but not by much. It does weigh in at 3.3Gb however, so you might be better off getting the physical version if you're low on space.

Evergreen Jonah Lomu Rugby makes it over to our shores, at the rather pricey £39.99

Ridge Racer Ultimate Edition (should be available today, as all the stuff is already in the store) offers all the passes, tracks and music for one price £19.99 which is what I paid for the rather weedy first version, hey-ho!

Next up is the YouTube app, which is free and has been discussed already.

Apparently, there's a small patch already, so refresh your LiveArea once downloaded to get the best experience out of it. On the DLC side, we have:
Gravity Rush
Spy Mission Pack – Gravity Rush
Prices: £3.19,€3.99,AU$6.95

Pure Chess
Pure Chess Forest Vita
