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...

Big Fest opens its gates this week

Sony ain't afraid of no marketing! With not even a PS blog post, From out of Nowhere, here comes Big Fest for the Vita, dropped on users like an unsuspecting piece of Cherry Pie. Presumably the last first party title for the flying V, it has OntheMetal down as developers, who have next to no history.

UPDATE: Okay, Sony finally put up a blog post! Note, the game is not PS TV compatible, also it seems to be having early server issues, so check before you download.

Somewhere between Theme Park and Download Festival, Big Fest helps you build you own events, promote bands, add all the entertainment extras to keep the Youth Gone Wild happy.

Now a Vita exclusive, get ready to be Thunderstruck, hopefully! If this is Sony's idea of Christmas for handheld gamers, then umm, Thanks for the Memories? I think!

For £7.99 (not free to play as previously mentioned by Sony) it is probably worth it. Given the long development time, something good must have driven it to completion. Hopefully it won't leave a taste of Bad Medicine in gamer's mouths.

The use of unsigned bands to promote might have been a cool idea, but given the Vita's nicheness, it'll probably have all the impact of a festival hot dog.
