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 ...

Freedom Wars getting a boxed release in Europe

In the eighties, the BBC tried to kill of Doctor Who and his little blue box through no-budget production values.

Yet again, gamers have told Sony where to stick it and now EU types will get a pristine boxed copy of Freedom Wars, rather than having to find 3+ GB of space (plus the inevitable patches and DLC) on a memory card for it. Thanks Sony for listening, but you really should know better! Read their full admission on the PSN blog.

Next up on the complaint list is Oreshika 2, and while Europe is at it, how about that Netflix app?
