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 ...

PlayStation Plus prices rising in Europe

PlayStation Plus prices are going up from 31 August 2017. Nothing too drastic, although people are still naturally upset. The rises are £10 if you pay the annual rate, up 25%, or £12 if you pay monthly - like poor little me!  Worst of all, quarterly prices go up y £20!

But, given the lowly fodder the Vita and PS3 are getting from it these days, if you don't own a PS4, PlayStation Plus is making less sense:
  • Annually, the price will change from £39.99 to £49.99 per annum.
  • Quarterly, the price will change from £14.99 to £19.99 per quarter.
  • Monthly, the price will change from £5.99 to £6.99 per month.
In a side note, Luc Bernard was hinting at Plague Road coming to PS+ for November, so you might want to keep your sub up until then, at least.
