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 ...

So, which PS One games will you play when firmware 1.80 arrives for the Vita

Sony has said that over 100 games should be compatible with the new PS One feature on the Vita. Here's a list of all PS One games on PSN for Europe (138 games) and one for the U.S. (thanks Wikipedians). So which do you fancy trying out on your 21st Century gaming system?

Alundra is the latest arrival to the store, and now the Vita is fully functional, hopefully the pace of releases will pick up a bit. Personally, and as I've said many times, I'll be playing Ridge Racer Type 4 (again), putting some more effort into Vagrant Story and enjoying the lovely Rayman once again from my PSP-era purchases.

Looking at the list, I might pick up Parasite Eve II and Grandia. But some games, like the Tomb Raiders now seem rather superfluous, as you can get the Tomb Raider Legend PSP release for a couple of quid in the summer PSN sale. What do you fancy picking up for your Vita?
