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 ...

Is there life in WipEout yet?

A tweet from Studio Liverpool's WipEout2048 Twitter (and an update on Facebook) account suggests there might be life in the old thrust-propelled dog yet. The tweet comes with an image that features official team names, so this isn't an indie-offshoot going out on a limb.

The tweet arrived out of the blue a couple of hours ago, and is generating a fair amount of excitement. Hope to hear more news soon. It could be a spoof however, with an insider posting "That Tweet should not have been posted, Studio Liverpool is closed, there is no new Wipeout game. Ami Nakajima was not released [I wonder why ;) ], she was just tweeting to say that she "is still alive". Which is pretty tactless."

Update: Rumors flew overnight with stories that Evolution were taking over the WipEout series, still no firm announcement, but the game is definitely afoot.
