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 ...

The logic of this is quite daft, but you can now check your PSN account details, trophies and the like on an iPhone. As a PSP-only user, the app is rather limited in that respect, since Sony never bothered with Trophies on PSP, but PS3 users can probably get more from it.


Where it does come in handy, is you can finally see screens and videos of games that are on the PSN store before you decide to buy them, something that PSP users can't do because of the PSP store's limited interface without resorting to a computer.
Still, the app looks pretty enough and offers news, small features and other information, showing just how little Sony are bothering about the little console. You can also catch the Sony blogs that offer a little more detail. Just begs the question why this app doesn't exist for the PSP? Get it here.
