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 ...

Starlight Inception gets Remastered

I think most will agree that Starlight struggled on its transition form the PC to the Vita. But, to their credit, developer Escape Hatch has been plugging away at a patch which has now cleared Sony US testing, EU to follow.

UPDATE: The EU Patch is now live on PSN (redownloading everything now, may take a while) and comments coming in suggest the team has done a stellar job with the upgrade:
From my initial play tonight It's right back where it deserves! The ultimate space 'combat sim' for Vita! Seriously it now feels more like a native Vita game and less like a PC port.
 Here's the improved in-cockpit view, with better text and better lit ships in space

And the outside view has far clearer text, while the fog effect on ground levels has been improved. 

It's a big fella at 2.2GB, and has tons of fixes and improvements, if you gave up on the game first time around, perhaps give it a second try. Definitely worth the title Remastered and hopefully will encourage the developers to keep the games coming. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
