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 ...

Resistance Burning Skies will infect you with Near

Resistance may well be futile as Sony has a neat trick up its sleeve for players. Using that funny social/near map thingy, you can share your infection (from the Chimera) with others, so your friends can get the same bonuses, perks and so on that you do.



Does that sound like just a cheap way of doing some marketing, or will it really improve the game for people? It'd be cool if you got messages like "Spudgun is infected with quad damage. You've got it too, get online" but using Near is hardly a priority for most gamers, so I figure most of us will never see this happening.
