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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the 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 the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Best PS Vita Memory Card Prices

2020 update: Note, this page is no longer updated given the limited availability of new cards.

Vita card prices are still an outrage even as the system's life comes to an end, which means they will also only get more expensive as they become rarer. With no low-cost third party options to limit the sting. Refurbished cards (like these on Amazon) are now the most common way to get a card at a decent price, or buy them from people selling their Vita or games cheap! 

Management

Note, to clear out some space on your memory card, rather than just randomly deleting games, go to Content Manager, Manage Content on Memory Card and under Vita applications there could be gigs of downloads for old games or content you no longer play. Make sure you backup any save games to the cloud (if you have PS+).



Troubleshooting

Gamers have various problems with Vita memory cards, some can be solved be removing and reinserting. Others like PS Vita error "C1-11834-7" are often an easy fix, while error C4-10278-8 looks like you may need a new card!

Buying and Prices

If you see a bargain on a particular site, do share the news. Remember 4GB cards aren't worth owning, unless you can get one free. While 64GB cards all ship from Japan as they were never released in the west, compounding the ignominy of owning a Vita. They also seem to have a statistically higher failure rate, so sticking with a 32 is likely the best option.

NOTE THAT STOCK COMES AND GOES (mostly going now). Check out eBay but beware of stupid prices like £70 for 16GB, things aren't that mad yet. Also, second hand stores for possibly better bargains, but as the Vita becomes a collector's item, there is no time like now to get one.
