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 ...

Dragon Fantasy: The Black Tome of Ice pops up on PSN

I do sort of love that the odd "from out of nowhere" mystery game can still arrive on PSN, but it does suggest that publishers have just given up, and will throw out a game with no fanfare whatsoever. Which is quite a shame as Dragon Fantasy: The Black Tome of Ice does have a decent fanfare in the soundtrack.

At heart it looks like a classic retro RPG, out now on EU PSN for £7.39 developed by Muteki Corporation. There's some Mode 7 style maps to navigate and lots of Final Fantasy style chat and plenty of battling. Could be good, could be very vanilla.
