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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

FIFA 15 on Vita, another EA disaster

Well, I did not see that coming (sarcasm). Not only has EA managed to foist another non-update on the Vita owning community, it has even managed to strip out some features this time, according to folks on Twitter.

With the big launch being trumpeted by Sony with a price-cut PS4 bundle, the Vita does get a more half-hearted bundle. But the game itself appears to be missing more features, and EA might be mis-advertising according to one report.

Pretty much what you'd expect from the EA borg collective, although Sony isn't helping by failing to even mention the Vita bundle in its own press releases. EA probably will escape as buried in its releases is the usual... "A version of FIFA 15 will also release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system this Fall. Not all game features are available on all gaming platforms." However, if it doesn't clearly explain that to buyers, then see you in court!

Are any of the features missing from the Amazon description? I won't buy it so I can't find out, still enjoying the original FIFA Football that I picked up for £8 that has exactly the same engine, FIFA 13 is now the cheap option. Note, if you do want FIFA 15, it costs a mental £35 on PSN, so get the cheaper boxed version!
