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.

At worst, Sony has just shown they can do something that benefits users and has decided to take it away again, cue toys out of prams and a minor shit storm out of what could have been a beautiful thing. But, Sony's good at producing that sort of result, so we're kind of used to it.
