July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Sony doing Amazon-style deals of the week

The PSN is becoming more like a Del-Boy style market stall every month, with random collections of sale items, dodgy (yet lovely) imports and now random snap sales. The first 'deal of the week' is (in my opinion) a true scam, offering FIFA 14 (Aka FIFA 13, aka FIFA Football) which is now "just" £19.99, down from the insane rip-off price of £45.

Given you can find the original FIFA Football or FIFA 13 for under £10, buy that and you get the same game, minus the latest transfers and kit updates, which I think most of us can live without. It's not like Wayne Rooney is going anywhere.

Quite how EA can expect to charge that much, even reduced, for what should be a free update for any other game is both disgusting and unseemly. Even with Sony playing nice on the sale, you can still get the latest update cheaper in stores.
