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. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

PSP E1000 model now on sale, £5 off at Amazon

I've always downloaded my games directly to the PSP but if you were new to the game, doing it through the PC isn't too much hassle. But the big question is, is Sony going to market this thing, (UPDATE - A tweet informs me that it was all over the back of London's free Metro newspaper for a week) and if so where - its been practically invisible since the announcement! Perhaps the company is holding off until after the fuss of the iPhone 4S launch? That is expected to sell 4 million units in just one day - Sony can only dream.
