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 ...

Star Wars Angry Birds flocks to the Vita

I'll call this game SWAB, because that's what you'll need to stem the blood loss you'll spontaneously develop, when you see the price for it. Allegedly $40, for an iOS game that's free (with in-app purchases) that's hopefully a place-holder price, because publisher Activision is otherwise having some sort of chuckle normally associated with EA Sports Vita editions.

Perhaps the pricing, even with the delight of extra levels, is because most multi-device owners will already have, so is focused purely on slack-jawed consumers who are so dumb they think the term smartphone precludes them from buying one. Even so, that's a bit of a piss take. No sign of it on the UK store (update, launching in November apparently).
