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...

Vita finally gets a Minecraft bundle

Not sure if this is official, or just an Amazon deal, but you can pick up a new PS Vita and Minecraft for £149 on Amazon UK, starting Friday.

It is already ranking at #66 in the console most wanted list (way higher than most Vita stuff gets) and with a little promotion could do some good. The bundle was posted a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen one anywhere else. No sign of one on the Amazon US site where Borderlands is still the only current bundle.

UPDATED: In the Black Friday deals, on the UK site, the bargain of the day is the Mega Pack with 10 games and an 8GB card for £129.99 (price is wrong on the ad below). There's a LEGO bundle at the same price on Argos, but the site is down.
