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.

UnMetal busting out on the Vita

There's a PC demo on Steam, setting the scene: "In 1972 a crack commando squad threw you in prison for a crime you didn't commit. UnMetal is a 2D stealth/action game (with a touch of humor) where the goal is to escape from the enemy military base."

Release date, "soon", but happy to wait for what likes like a really smart idea!
