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 ...

New Vita 2000 owners compare their devices in Japan

With the Vita 2000 launching in Japan overnight, here's all the news and info on its arrival, with pics and any scenery dressing I can provide via the power of Twitter....

Here we have an early unboxing video (actually a series of 8)... like the fact that the AR cards are now reduced to a sheet of printed paper (cut out your own), other difference include the replaceable battery on the new model, and some slightly slower using. The internal memory is also unusable when you insert your own memory card (duh!)

Remember though, Sony is trying to get new gamers on-board, so only us oldies will grumble about these changes (although it might increase the value and sales of the original model).

To help sell the Vita, Square finally announced an on-sale date for FFX-HD, on December 26, with a dual-game bundle that's the same price as the PS3 Blu-ray edition, nice move (for once) Square. Love the piece of art they've, released to celebrate.


Here's some happy Americans on tour who picked up their new Vita months before any hope of seeing it on their home soil. Not much sign of a queue there though.



Thousands of happy new Vita LCD 2000 owners have ripped open their boxes and immediately started comparing the image quality with the OLED model. I'll post more pics as they arrive and any news of sales, queues, bargains and other details.
