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 ...

New Japanese Vita owners getting a memory card loaded with demos

Why waste the space on a blank memory card in a Vita bundle? Sony aren't (now) as they're loading the Soul Sacrifice demo and a host of others including Gravity Rush, Hot Shots Golf and Uncharted: Golden Abyss to encourage gamers to up their attach rates.


While Gravity Rush is likely a must purchase, and Hot Shots has a massive fan base, the idea could help Golden Abyss ship a few more copies out there. But, if every Vita owner doesn't buy Soul Sacrifice anyway then the console is pretty much toast for the rest of 2013, since Sony doesn't seem to have much else in the bag (apart from another game from the Uncharted team).
