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...

PlayStation TV gets price cuts in America

The PlayStation TV and the LEGO Movie bundle have both had price cuts on Amazon's US site. Down to $99 for the game, 8 GB card, DualShock 3 controller and PS TV unit, or just $79 for the unit, which seems rather a false economy.

That's only £50 for the core unit or £63 for the bundle so if you have a friend/relative or someone who can import it for you, UK gamers would save a fortune!



No idea if this is part of a seasonal sale, or Black Friday deals, or Sony just trying to shift some stock. No chance of this in Europe where the device has only just launched at £84, to absolutely no marketing or effort on Sony's part. I do love that if you search for PlayStation TV in the Vita section of Amazon UK you get nothing but Japanese imports, the official model is firmly linked to the PS4 section.

Will see if price cuts appear anywhere else. Of course, while the Vita only has the 3DS to worry about, the PS TV is fighting a whole host of new micro consoles and TV gadgets.
