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...

Wrapping up June for the PS Vita

E3 came and went with a whimper rather than a bang, but Sony acknowledged the blunder and good things beckon for GamesCom.

Largely on the basis of the wonderful Gravity Daze in the West, offering a fantastic world to inhabit and explore and a game that doesn't rely on endless killing! And Persona in Japan which gave the Vita a much-needed lift.



Good things came in small packages too, with the excellent PulzAR proving that augmented reality games can be both good and fun to play. The YouTube app was also a much-welcome addition to the Vita's slowly growing range of apps. And Vita-based joy doesn't need to be expensive with the excellent PSV/PSP/minis sale offering near-endless amounts of entertainment for fantastic prices. I've picked up Trails in the Sky and God of War: Ghost of Sparta so far.

Finally, there's the oddball moments in life that you can't help but laugh at, this month brought to you by these rather mad Orgaryhthm trailers.

What were your personal favourite gaming moments in June?
