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 sponsoring UK broadcasts of Agents of SHIELD

The new Marvel spin off TV show is getting some gadget support from Sony, with a snippet of a PS Vita being stored in a SHIELD-style case before and after the ad breaks. After its UK premiere last night, Agents of SHIELD seems to be getting the usual mix of love it/hate it/give it time snap opinions, but I'm happy to give it some room to grow on me, while appreciating the humour and in-series references (shame about the whiny geek British characters).


Watch it on catch-up here.


Its kind of a shame there's only the LEGO Marvel game to go with the advertising, but at least it vaguely ties in. If there'd been any forward planning, a companion app (or the 4 On Demand app for the Vita) or an episode secrets guide would have been great.
