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...

Gran Turismo PSP finally available for download on Vita (in the US)

I still give the UMD version a good go from time to time, but it looks like Sony is finally paying some attention to the strong PSP catalog left in limbo from its abortive PSP-Vita switchover. On the US store, Gran Turismo is now on the Vita's PSN, (its been here for sometime at £6.49 in the UK).

Note that you can't transfer vehicles from GT5 on the PS3. Also now available in the US is Jeanne D'Arc and perhaps others will follow. This comes after Sony has now retired the PSP and the bedlam a couple of months back when a load of classic games appeared on the store. Note, some folk are saying you need to transfer the games via a PS3, others are saying it works fine - believe what you will.

Despite its less-than-stellar reviews, GT on the PSP sold over three million, and it would be very nice if Digital Polyphony could get their gearstick out of their butts and get cracking on the Vita version that links properly into GT6.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
