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.

Jet Set Radio launching on PS Vita October 16

While the reviews are out, and you can ever pre-order the audio soundtrack CD, Vita owners will have to hold fire on their grinding antics as our version won't be out until mid-October.

I'll add more reviews as they appear.

Eurogamer - 9/10
Games Radar – 4/5
NowGamer – 9.0/10

I think we can safely ignore The Verge (Polygon's) review of 5/10 written by a pent-up executive who talks about properties and prioritization, as if this was a boardroom report.

Since there's been no word, and the Vita version is out late, I'm guessing there's no Cross Buy or Cross Play involved.
