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...

Borderlands patch 1.08 frees up more memory, improves playabililty

Kudos to Iron Galaxy who have another patch out for the Vita version of Borderlands 2, using the recent OS tweaks, to free up more memory - which they say improves playability. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and let you know if there's any obvious signs of improvement.

UPDATE: After some play over the weekend, it crashed just a few minutes in - possibly coincidence, but worrying. I think the particles or their volume could be new, but there's not much overall boost to performance or smoothness.

User comments suggest the menus are now a bit snappier, general smoothness in game, let us know what you think!

Patch 1.08 notes highlight:

* Fixed various bugs.
* Improved overall playability.
* Additional vehicle control option.
* Added sort by value option for inventory.
* Added user's support ID in ShiFT menu.
* Increased drop rate of legendary items across the game.
* Update PlayStation Vita SDK to 3.500.
* Enabled +77 MB expanded memory mode.
