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 ...

Behold, the White PS Vita

Way, way down this blog somewhere is a shot of all the techno-colour PS Vita models that probably won't hit the stores. However, the white one is more likely, I think that was the first alternative PSP colour model, before all the blues and red ones turned up.

UPDATE: The for-real white PS Vita is finally being released in Japan, check here for details. And in the west, it will come bundled with the Vita's Assassin's Creed III game at the end of October 2012.



Anyway, someone took a decent pic of it and posted it on Twitter, and it looks pretty neat. Personally I prefer black for my gadgets, but white just adds a slight futuristic touch. However, with the trend for those PS Vita screen protector skins/desktop backgrounds, the basic colour could soon be an afterthought.
