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 ...

Vita prices on the way down ahead of E3

This could be coincidence, but I got an email from Amazon this morning with Vita 2000 consoles down to £139. That's down from £169 last week, although the price has fluctuated up and down over the months. That comes on the heels of US sites and stores reducing the prices of PS TV and Vita memory cards.

Game also has it at £129, and I'm sure the few other places that still sell the Vita will be adjusting things soon. So, while there's no particular guarantee of an E3 price cut, it looks like stores are trying to sell them while they can, before any official price cut, perhaps to £109 or £119, kicks in next week. With most games in the catalogue now between £10-15 for boxed copies or regularly on sale on PSN, the Vita is becoming quite the gaming bargain.

Also, note the 64GB import memory card is only a little more than the official 32GB card, if you can afford it, you'd be mad not to pick one up.
