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 ...

Indie games shine of the Vita in BAFTA nominations

This year's gaming BAFTAs will be hosted by Rufus Hound, and I'd pay him a box of Lion Bars to go round the room, smacking the publishers around the head with a Vita, just for laughs! Among the games you can play on Vita that got nominated were Hohokum for Artistic Achievement and Walking Dead Season 2 in the Best Handheld game category.

CounterSpy and Shovel Knight (coming soon to Vita) get nominations for best début, while OlliOlli gets a mention in the best sports game category. Minecraft and LEGO: Movie get pats on the back in the best family game. Tearaway did pretty well for the Vita last year, and even though none of these are Vita exclusive, it'd be good to see their developers rewarded.
