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...

PlayStation 3 and Vita, together in perfect harmony

So, just six years after its UK launch, I've finally picked up a PlayStation 3. It makes sense to go alongside my Vita and PlayStation Plus subscription as I've got 10 games I can download for free right now, and the rest of its illustrious line up I can pick up on budget or will appear on PS+ over time.
I picked up a 500GB new slide-top model to store all those games, which have been downloading at top speed most of the day, but its a slow process with some 5-15GB a decent game plus patches. Note to self, download at night, play during day!

My first ports of call will be to test out Remote Play, LittleBigPlanet 2 has that feature and was the first game I went to download. Then to find some games with Cross Play multiplayer, I know WipEout does that, any others?


Anyway, my lil' ole PlayStation Family is now complete, and I'm now five-for-five on PlayStation console ownership. Just in time for the PlayStation 4 to arrive early next year, gonna be a crowded shelf. Pretty sure I won't be bothering upgrading my Xbox 360 or renewing my Gold subscription, not that they were in any way bad, just not as a compelling deal.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
