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.

With the new iPhone 4S out packing awesome visual detail, the Xperia Play could soon find itself looking rather jaded in the fast-moving world of gaming-class phones.
