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.

Timespinner finally spins up on the Vita

Check out the game website for more detail. Good to see some developers keeping the Vita version day and date with the other editions, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
