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 ...

Legacy of Kain Collection bleeds on the Evercade

Hot on the heels of a second Bitmap Brothers Amiga collection, Evercade is ramping up the release news after the summer snooze. Featuring the PlayStation's Legacy of Kain duo, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver from Crystal Dynamics, the mid-to-late nineties anti-hero rode the flip from 2D to 3D graphics well, garnered good review scores and generated lots of love. 

Pretty sure I played the Dreamcast version of Soul Reaver, but am happy to step down a notch. 

That's a bit of good news after the delay to November of the revised EXP-R handheld model. Evercade Collection 41 arrives in September for £22.99, I guess they were fairly compact releases as this isn't badged with the GigaCart tag for larger-storage carts (like Tomb Raider). 

Both Tomb Raider and Kain are from the Crystal Dynamics stable, so it would be logical to assume that a few more games are on the way, with the Gex and Pandemonium games having plenty of cachet and potential.
