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.

Free-to-play goodies raining down on Vita at E3

Buried in a short segment I seem to have missed, Sony has a few free-to-play titles on show for the Vita.
Guns-Up, Fat Princess: Piece of Cake, My Singing Monsters (arty shot below) and the Big Fest (unveiled at Gamescom last year) each offer something intriguingly different. Will update when media appears.

Here's some detail on Guns Up, by Valkyrie Entertainment, is a side-scrolling strategy game, where players take on the role of a General, managing resources and deploying the right combination of troops, land mines, air strikes, smoke screens, and sniper towers to topple their opponents’ bases. With Cross-Play, Generals can fine-tune their strategy against opponents with turn-based asynchronous gameplay across the PlayStation 4, PS3 and Vita systems.
