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 ...

Grab those PlayStation Mobile goodies while you can

I was browsing through the PSM store just now, looking for any games I'd picked up but long since deleted to regrab before it closes in a couple of months (15 July). While checking if there was anything else worth picking up, I noticed quite a few free games there, and what's not to like about a free game.

The store opened two-and-a-half years ago, as Sony tried to ride the wave of Android games and bring some smaller games to the Vita. In that respect, it worked as there's a lot of content there, some great, some good and some amateur - but that was the point. However, Sony soon started to ignore it, dropped Android support and once it had grabbed a updates of the better games (Aqua Kitty, Rock Boshers, etc) for the main Vita store, all but gave up on it.

So, before this useful resource vanishes into Sony's desktop trash can, give the PSM store a visit, redownload your old titles, grab the free ones you can and pick up some of the goodies your missed. Many are less than a £1, so what's not to like. There's many more than my little lists, go check it out.
