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 ...

PSN EU Update: Metal Gear, YouTube, Jonah Lomu and Ridge Race Ultimate plus that huge sale!

The PS EU Store update post has been made (actually update between 3&4PM UK time, with most of these releases probably not happening until Friday) with a decent roster of Vita games.

Top of the list is Metal Gear HD Collection, which arguments about it not being in HD or a proper collection aside, is pretty damn hot gaming. The pack is only £19.99 which is annoyingly less than I pre-ordered for, but not by much. It does weigh in at 3.3Gb however, so you might be better off getting the physical version if you're low on space.

Evergreen Jonah Lomu Rugby makes it over to our shores, at the rather pricey £39.99

Ridge Racer Ultimate Edition (should be available today, as all the stuff is already in the store) offers all the passes, tracks and music for one price £19.99 which is what I paid for the rather weedy first version, hey-ho!

Next up is the YouTube app, which is free and has been discussed already.

Apparently, there's a small patch already, so refresh your LiveArea once downloaded to get the best experience out of it. On the DLC side, we have:
Gravity Rush
Spy Mission Pack – Gravity Rush
Prices: £3.19,€3.99,AU$6.95

Pure Chess
Pure Chess Forest Vita
