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.

Xperia Play to get Android Update

Android version 2.3.3 isn't a huge update but it does add some fun new bits to the Xperia Play. Offering better Facebook integration, it lets users do their photo uploading and liking of music and links with a little more finesse.

There are also security updates and fixes, but it looks like gamers will have to wait until E3 to hear anything about new games or gaming services. The update will hit next week, probably the same time of the US launch.



I'm still betting my ass that Xperia Play 2 will be announced later this year and offer a PlayStation 2 games library, either in to buy or rental form, the power is there in the processors to handle it and the PSOne library seems to have run into a dead end. Which will come as a shame to those Americans who can only buy the phone Mk. 1 phone from next week.
