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...

An actual Sony PSP E1000 Advert

I was wondering when Sony was going to get around to marketing the new model, and from this first impression, looks like they're doing a pretty good job, right demographic and everything. Note, I also saw an Amazon web ad for it too today, and remember its a fiver off there.

UPDATE: And now there's been a neat grafitti-laden banner ad on this very site with a link to the Amazon offer, looks like the Sony marketing machine is finally kicking in.

On a stranger note, my blog is getting hammered with "PSP E1000 89.99" searches from Google, so either someone is trying to find out who's talking about it, or there are a lot of interested people out there. Just pray they never find Sony's coming soon for PSP page that lists exactly four games - non-smiley face.
