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 ...

Atari 50 Extended Edition expands on Atari's legacy

Somewhat ironically, I got told off by Digital Eclipse last year about talking up the idea of Atari 50 DLC before it was officially announced. Now, the developer and Atari 50 (review) are doing so well, that we're getting a new version (available as even more DLC for existing owners) with 39 new games for acolytes of the once-galant brand. 

Arriving in October, Atari 50 EE gets a physical release on Switch and PlayStation 5, with a whole new mix of video and editorial content alongside the games, presented in the impressive format that Digital Eclipse has mastered for the likes of the Jeff Minter Llamasoft story. 

Atari 50 Collection Extended Edition

No news on the games or platforms yet, although it'd be great to see more from the Lynx and Jaguar, and *cough* Activision titles, but we live in hope. The themes for the new encyclopedia strands are The Wider World of Atari and The First Console War. This approach to education and information makes Atari 50 more interesting than just ramming a fistful of games and art into a package and calling it a collection. 

Of course, it'd be rude not to mention the upcoming Atari Super Pocket with 50 games and access to the complete Evercade library in the most portable format in gaming.
