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 ...

Live App now out for PS Vita, PlayStation TV

Sony's new Live App is go for the PS Vita, and at only 5MB won't dent your memory card. It lets PS Vita and PS TV users  watch live PS4 gameplay streams, watch livestreams that your friends are broadcasting and add your own comments as you keep up to date.


There's a bunch of restrictions for sub-accounts and regions, but that shouldn't cause too much hassle for most. You can watch Twitch and Ustream feeds, and log into each service to join in the chat. Now all I need is a PS4 to join in the fun.

Based on a quick play, it looks okay, rather neat. The search option is accessed by the tab on the left.  or you can sort by spectators, date and comments, which is less than helpful. Leaving any stream requires it to rebuffer, which is slower than on most other systems, I guess the Vita has less spare overhead. Guess that's the rest of my week sorted while waiting for Freedom Wars.
