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 ...

Start Saving; Sony's Tretton Hints at High NGP Price

This doesn't sound good, a note on GI.biz reckons that Sony could be preparing the world for a fairly steep NGP price. Tretton's words "I think when you're buying a platform, when you're buying technology, you're hopefully buying a device you're going to enjoy for many, many years," suggest this thing isn't going to be as cheap as rumoured.

Or, he could just be spouting off, as we've had a bunch of quotables from Mr. Tretton in the last few days and until something concrete happens, presumably at e3, then all of this remains just words. In practical terms, component pricing in Japan could go up quite a lot in the recovery from the earthquake, so whatever your best guess was it is probably time to start revising them up a little anyway.
