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.

Final Fantasy artworked Vitas hitting Japan

Sony will try to drag Vita sales out of their flatline soon with a couple of its standard minimal effort decal-laden models on the rear panel to celebrate World of Final Fantasy.

Yes, they are pretty, in English even, with a neat theme and icons, but don't expect any in the west when the game arrives in Europe and the US at the same time as its Japanese counterpart.
This limited edition also makes it seem less likely that Sony has a quick Trinity upgrade in mind, if at all, for its PlayStation Event on 7 September.
