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 ...

Sony announces new kid-friendly Vita bundles

Typical, about an hour after I check in with Sony PR to see if they're doing any new bundles, two new ones appear. These deeply familiar looking offerings pack the best of Sony's offerings (plus the Vikings game) and a collection of LEGO fun into two €199 bundles.

Arriving in September and October, question 1, will all those games fit on the feeble 8GB card provided. Question 2, where the hell is the Resident Evil version with the brand new Revelations 2 packed in with the PS One originals, rather than trying to flog some 3/4 year old games? Or go the Star Wars Battlefield Remote Play PS4/Vita bundle, anything to give the system a little credibility.

Also, if these were meant for the summer holiday market, then they're way too late. And if they're for the Christmas market, they are way too early - what on Earth is Sony playing at?
