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...

Borderlands patch 1.08 frees up more memory, improves playabililty

Kudos to Iron Galaxy who have another patch out for the Vita version of Borderlands 2, using the recent OS tweaks, to free up more memory - which they say improves playability. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and let you know if there's any obvious signs of improvement.

User comments suggest the menus are now a bit snappier, general smoothness in game, let us know what you think!

Patch 1.08 notes highlight:

* Fixed various bugs.
* Improved overall playability.
* Additional vehicle control option.
* Added sort by value option for inventory.
* Added user's support ID in ShiFT menu.
* Increased drop rate of legendary items across the game.
* Update PlayStation Vita SDK to 3.500.
* Enabled +77 MB expanded memory mode.
