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 ...

Vita gets ever cheaper as Black Friday looms

Soon eBay will be selling PS Vita consoles from $150, starting at midnight on November 29. Put that right next to the bargain Tearaway bundle in the UK and owning a Vita has never been more tempting. But, will buyers go for these deals, or is the Vita already so undesirable that its already toast in the west?

UPDATE: If you just want a remote play screen and new isn't important, check out Amazon's Warehouse second-hand page (US) or in the UK, Amazon UK Warehouse Vita products (lots of cheap games too), where they are available from only $125 or £140.
