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...

Va-11 Hall-A live on US PSN, game of the year?

I know the Vita bubble is a crazy place some time, but with the fervor around Sukeban's Va-11 Hall-A you'd think this was a major label release. There are herds of Japanese and US comments about the game and a fair amount of fan art being shared. People are worshipping the soundtrack and there's a general buzz that's pretty rare for a game about beer.

Certainly, more hype than we'd usually see for a big-name release, and plenty of EU types wondering when we get it (guess PEGI or translations are holding that up).

If you're waiting to jump in or are achingly European you can see the trophies here. And here's the trailer to remind us what we're missing. The game is $14.99 which is a lot for an indie, but Vita could still be the perfect home for this title and should be snapped up to remind the world we're still kicking.

Would you vote for Va-11 Hall-A as the best game of the year? Guess I'll have to run a poll pretty soon.
