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 ...

Sly Trilogy bulking out the Vita's classics line-up

Hot on the slippery heels of Jak and Daxter's PS2 trilogy, the original Sly Cooper series is likely getting a Vita HD release according to a store schedule somewhere (read it over the weekend, can't remember which one). That'll bring another hat-trick of mildly nostalgic games for Vita owners, but really isn't going to help sell the machine.

Imagine this, but more, lots more....

It might also help sales of the new Sly game, which met with decidedly whelmed reviews and, judging by the demo, lacked any particular sparkle. What might be cool is a Vita Legends pack with all the Jak and Sly games when the Vita price cut finally hits here, giving younger gamers a very attractive looking bundle to look forward to.
