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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Ridge Racer Vita is cheap thanks to DLC

Ridge Racer will come at a bargain price for the Vita's launch, as the title only comes with three tracks (which can be run in reverse) and five cars. The rest of the content will be available as downloads (and I'm guessing most of it won't be free).


That's perhaps understandable in part, as it helps the publisher get around the second-hand games plague but will still likely annoy some gamers. It also explains why the game needs a memory card to play, although it does look gorgeous as a new batch of screens show.


Another slight downer is that Namco has confirmed the game runs at 30fps, not 60 - but that's hardly going to make a real difference, with the gorgeous AMOLED display showing off these great night scenes.
