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.

Landing this week on PlayStation Vita, Freeeedoooommm

Didn't even know it was coming, which is another impressive bit of Sony non-marketing.

Here's the US PSN drop page with all the details. The game lands on Friday in the UK, cause we're shit like that! On the plus side, Europe does get Die, Mr Robot from Infinite States.
