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 ...

PS Vita firmware 1.80 out NOW

What are you waiting for, hit that system update button on your Vita. What other gaming platform can claim to have 100+ "new" games out for it on a single day? Enjoy the likes of the original Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Ridge Racer Type 4 and others, assuming you have the card space.

If you don't hear from me in the next few days, its because there's no real news from now until Tokyo Game Show and because I'll be running through Vagrant Story and a few other fasvourites just one more time. Then again, quite a few PSOne games I picked up look like utter stinkers now, so be careful what you choose.



Nuts, you can't download PS One games from your history list, and the store doesn't have a PS One section yet. Anyone tried side-loading? Elsewhere, there is now a Settings option to enable interface control through the Vita's buttons, it is not on by default.


Here's the PSN post with all the games that you still can't play listed. Don't feel too chipper about that 100 games number, the Japanese have over 600 titles headed their way! (Although many of them are probably Pachinko games). Come on Sony, how hard is it to link two updates together? Its not like there are huge numbers of Vita users to swamp your servers.
