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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point.

Meet Souji and Shinpachi from Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms

Continuing the character bios in the run-up to the next month's launch of Idea Factory's Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms, meet Souji Okita and Shinpachi Nagakura.

A wry, quick-witted swordsman who is fiercely dedicated to the Shinsengumi.

Okita's tough exterior eventually softens, and his appreciation for a well-lived life becomes more apparent.


Brash, hot-headed, and impulsive. Shinpachi Nagakura (on the left) is a musclehead more dedicated to his principles, rather than his loyalty to the Shinsengumi.  Nagakura is known to hang out with Sanosuke Harada in Shimabara.
