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, Football, Fighting and Lemmings

So, the PSN update for Europe is live, and having rushed to take advantage of the PlayStation Plus offer this morning, I find there's nothing new for Vita owners apart from some scrappy PSP sale items and 10% off Rayman.

On the plus side, all-time classic Lemmings is there for free (with paid-for content), Uncharted Fight for Fortune makes a bow, and WRC 3 is finally on the store. There's a placeholder for Sonic All Stars for Friday at £34.99, but I've seen it at £25 online, so that's just silly.

PSP and Vita owners get the new Football Manager Handheld 2013 edition, while the Invizimals games are now on offer, do they work with the Vita's camera? If you do get WRC, remember to download the free DLC tracks, and there's yet more DLC for Street Fighter x Tekken.
