Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory.

PSN Coming Back Up, No Joy for PSP owners

The EU PSN blog is down to text only at the moment, so presumably is getting hit pretty hard by visitors, a sign up the interest in things getting back to normal? Or people coming to stone Kaz's message with more angry comments?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
