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 ...

Persona 4 Golden reviews have the right stuff

All the excitement might be about the shiny new games for the Vita out last and this week, but its a remake of a rather old game that could be the best thing that ever happens on the handheld.

There's an good read on the rise of Persona in the west here. The only pisser is the game isn't out in Europe until next year, leaving us with the choice of importing or tapping our watches (well, smartphone lockscreens) until the game turns up here. Interestingly its Virtue's Last Reward that has the best average scores of recent Vita games, with 89%, so perhaps big name games isn't the way to go this season.
