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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 ...

Sony Japan's Panopticon event to drop some Freedom Wars news

To be honest the game is kind of dragging for me as I aim to get my sentence down to 500,000 for the Gold Trophy, so I won't be too impressed if they just throw in another bunch of missions in similar levels with similar Abductors using similar tactics.

UPDATE: Turns out it was just the competition winners for various Sony lotteries and other contests, so much ado about nothing. Not that anyone was expecting much, cough! At one of the panel discussions, it was mentioned that some of the songs from the game might get a release.



However, if Sony has something really new to show, perhaps some all new Panopticons with new terrors to unleash, then I'll be impressed. Ahead of the event Sony has put up a new Freedom Wars theme on the Japanese PSN to help keep the game in front of people's eyes.
