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 ...

The best PSN EU Vita update ever? Get ready for Toukiden, Danganronpa, txK and more

Rarely has so much quality been packed into such a week's release, a shame most of them aren't out until Friday. Still, this is probably one of only three occasions when I've gone "wow" at the quality of a week's releases for the Vita.

Get ready to crowbar open your wallets for Dangaronpa Trigger Happy Havoc where murder is most definitely on the curriculum, Toukiden bringing modern monster slaying to the Vita and the LEGO movie game.

But my top bet is on TxK, Jeff Minter's startling reinvention of the Tempest 2000 shooter, and only £5 and change, less for PS+. However, you may need to hire someone to pry the Vita from your sweaty hands as you're sucked into the finest of twitch shooters. Note, the soundtrack will soon be available if it gets your gaming juices pumping.

Also,  please don't forget the smart-looking Creatures and Castles VX on PlayStation Mobile.
