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 ...

PS Vita firmware update 2.05 in the wings, still no startup tones

A few posts have mentioned a small firmware update for the Vita coming soon, likely today or tomorrow, with hints suggesting v2.05 being just a bug fix, with no new features. Keep an eye out for it, but it doesn't look too exciting.

 Hopefully a pretty soonish update will link social media links to the appropriate app rather than the browser and speed up file copying. BUT IT STILL DOESN'T DO ANYTHING AT STARTUP. That really annoys me and is just one of the many examples where Sony has lost the plot.


Remember those PlayStation One tones, that was damn iconic. The Vita lacks any such feature (I wouldn't mind if it only plays on cold  boots) and that's just one reason why its lacks any cool status (IMO).

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
