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.

Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death PSP Interview

With the Fighting Fantasy book heading to PSP as a mini, publisher Laughing Jackal has put up part one interview with series creator Steve Jackson to rake over some of the coals of this legendary series.


LJ: Talisman of Death was one of the most controversial books in the series. Why was this?

Sure enough, the series became viewed by some religious groups as the work of the devil. A group called the Evangelical Alliance appeared in the media protesting publicly about the appearance of Gods, Devils, Demons etc in Fighting Fantasy.
The game itself will be available in August and will bring a tear to the nostalgic eye of older gamers and could bring the series to a whole new generation who think of books as funny looking dust traps. Look out for Part 2 of the interview next week, plus a trailer, which should one of gaming's more placid affairs, unless they get Brian Blessed to do the voice over.
