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 ...

Final Fantasy X, X-2 HD dated for the west but no Vita version?

The game that hits Japan around Christmas, won't be that much later arriving in the west with a 21 March release date, (18 March in the US) now confirmed, making this the first big game of the Vita's third year over here. Some sites are saying that's a delay, but I don't ever recall seeing an official launch date.


Look closely though, there's no Vita stamp on that trailer, or the US blog post, (but there is a Vita tag on the US trailer, just to confuse things further) wonder if Square Enix thinks we're not worth the effort, or if Sony France (and now US) are playing dumb. Or are we getting shafted with a digital only version? Confusion awaits! Check out the recent batch of screens too.

UPDATE: Sony say the Vita version is coming, but they aren't announcing it just yet which sounds like a pain in the ass of a delay to me.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
