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.

With those, plus the endless Anime games, and a few more sequels, the little handheld should still have a year or two more in it, especially if Sony drops the price further or starts shipping the cheaper E1000 model over there.
