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.

Vita finally gets a Minecraft bundle

Not sure if this is official, or just an Amazon deal, but you can pick up a new PS Vita and Minecraft for £149 on Amazon UK, starting Friday.

It is already ranking at #66 in the console most wanted list (way higher than most Vita stuff gets) and with a little promotion could do some good. The bundle was posted a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen one anywhere else. No sign of one on the Amazon US site where Borderlands is still the only current bundle.

UPDATED: In the Black Friday deals, on the UK site, the bargain of the day is the Mega Pack with 10 games and an 8GB card for £129.99 (price is wrong on the ad below). There's a LEGO bundle at the same price on Argos, but the site is down.
