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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point.

Has Sony's poor financials given it a change of heart, trying to screw a few more pounds out of buyers rather than actually sell some units? GAME and what's left of HMV still have it at £179, and ShopTo at £185 (with a 16GB card and games), any better deals out there? 

Perhaps best of all, you can buy Japanese imports in the cooler colours for £140 with free shipping from eBay, if you can wait a few days for the courier to deliver.
