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 ...

Vita's 3G Data Cap - Your Mileage May Vary

According to a story doing the rounds, Sony is basically saying that its down to your mobile provider what your cap will be on 3G downloads for PS Vita gaming. So, in Japan the 20Mb limit might be a local limit and western telcos may well offer more, or have a variety of caps depending on how much you want to pay.

It does make sense to limit 3G data downloads with so much WiFi about, and the risk of users getting expensive bills for pulling down masses of data. I'm not in the least bit worried personally and think the stink about the Japanese cap is a kneejerk reaction from tech savvy folk used to big data limits. Non-technical types picking up a Vita will probably be glad they can't run up big bills.
