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. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Ayaneo lining up a limited edition Pocket DMG

Not long after the Evercade Kith LE, we have Ayaneo warming up for a livestream tomorrow to show off what appears to be a shiny metal version of the Pocket DMG. Billed as a Bright Silver exclusive limited edition, it looks impressive, but only die-hard collectors or those new to the brand will likely shell out for it. 


There are various specifications in the family, with DroiX putting a £30 premium (provisionally) for just under £350 on the new silver model. Ayaneo positioned the DMG as a super-charged Game Boy style device, but capable of playing pretty much anything in your retro archive. 

US prices are $399 early bird for the 8GB+128GB model (soon to be $449), and $419EB, later $529 for the 12GB+256GM model. 

Features include:

Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
3.92" OLED Display, 6000mAh battery
Left joystick + touchpad and Magic Switch scroll wheel
Coastline shoulder buttons

The originals were available in black or white plastic cases, so this is a posh edition, but there seems little need to upgrade the power or storage. 

Retroid's Pocket Classic 6 is a neat budget option, with Sega Saturn styling, if you're not in need of all that power, with more front buttons for around £150. 

The Classic 6 has a weaker Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 octa-core processor compared to the DMG's Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, but again, that's insane power for a dinky portable. Check out the full reveal tomorrow.
