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...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Hits for Xperia Play

Having just got hold of an Xperia Play, expect a fair bit more games news for it. Like this gem from Droid Gamers who found an Xperia Play exclusive of Battlefield Bad Company 2 hiding on EA's own Flexion store.



The site is just spinning around on my XP right now, so guess the game isn't available outside the States, but will keep trying. A short while later... I get a Download button, you click it and the game starts downloading with no mention of price, file size or anything - the EA Flexion store really is appalling presented.

Having found the file I just downloaded, then accepted a load of T&Cs for a 60 minute free trial, I then need to download the 320Mb main game file... none of which is conducive to user-friendly gaming experience. This really is stupidly complex for something as simple as playing a game.

Once it is installed and running... things look pretty impressive but as this is the first game I've played which uses the thumb pads, it'll take some getting used to. More on the game soon. The store... that gets a big thumbs down.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
