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 ...

Sony Japan promising big news tomorrow, 7AM UK video stream

Up early tomorrow? 7AM UK time for a translated version of the Sony Japan PS4 press announcement which is promising some big news, with Sony saying its "news you've been waiting for." Given the PS4 focus, that has to be more than just the release date for Asian territories.

It could be as prosaic as a mention of The Last Guardian now being a PS4 game, but surely not a release title. More likely is some new titles from Sony's Japan Studio and other partners, which were kept out of view from the original unveiling (Tokyo Games Show being just a couple of weeks off). There might also be a Vita snippet or two, especially as hardware sales are diving back to levels from the bad old days. See you here tomorrow!

UPDATE: The replay is now live, and there was a whole lot of Vita news including:

New model and 64GB card
Soul Sacrifice Delta and Phantasy Star Nova
PlayStation Vita TV dongle


Live streaming video by Ustream

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
