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 ...

Assassin's Creed III Liberation scores now coming out

If you follow my tweets, you know this game is in the post, so it'd better be good. The reviews are out and its a mixed bag of scores so far from the low sevens to the high eights.

Kotaku - Yes
Just Push Start – 8.7/10
Gaming Trend - 84%
Game Informer – 7.75/10
Hardcore Gamer 4/5
IGN – 7.2/10
Games Radar 3/5
1UP - "C"
Cheat CC 4.8/5

A few reviews cite some bugs and crashes, but since the main ACIII game is getting a day one patch for 40+ fixes, I guess a Vita patch won't be far behind. .Some folks already have their copies, what do you think of it? These come hot on the heels of Need for Speed scores, which I think was looking the better bet.
