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.

PlayStation Plus prices rising in Europe

PlayStation Plus prices are going up from 31 August 2017. Nothing too drastic, although people are still naturally upset. The rises are £10 if you pay the annual rate, up 25%, or £12 if you pay monthly - like poor little me!  Worst of all, quarterly prices go up y £20!

But, given the lowly fodder the Vita and PS3 are getting from it these days, if you don't own a PS4, PlayStation Plus is making less sense:
  • Annually, the price will change from £39.99 to £49.99 per annum.
  • Quarterly, the price will change from £14.99 to £19.99 per quarter.
  • Monthly, the price will change from £5.99 to £6.99 per month.
In a side note, Luc Bernard was hinting at Plague Road coming to PS+ for November, so you might want to keep your sub up until then, at least.
