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 ...

Need for Speed: Most Wanted reviews out, any for the Vita version?

The big sites are going live right now with their reviews of Criterion's big NFS title. With the Vita version claimed to be almost the same as the big boys, we should be able to take cues from these reviews as to how good it is.

NowGamer 9.5/10
CVG 7.5/10
IGN 9/10
EuroGamer 8/10

No sign of a Vita dedicated review yet, but will update as scores come in. Ahh, here they come:

PocketGamer Silver Award - "An extremely impressive handheld version of a console hit, but one not without some serious compromises. Still, it's one of the best racers of the year and it's in your pocket. Can't complain"

Weseeinpixels 8/10 - "This is by far the best looking title on the little console, the best racer and a no doubt must buy for anybody looking reignite their love of the Vita."

GamerSciz 8.9/10 - Good graphics, fun addictive gameplay and having different race types keeps things fresh not to mention it's a living breathing true open world.

TheVitaLounge 5/5 It’s a near perfect amalgamation of both the Burnout and Need for Speed series, Criterion have simply outdone themselves and set a massive bar from which not only racers, but all Vita games will now have to compare to. This is what the Vita can do. 5/5
