Sony Announces Updated PlayStation Portal with Increased Internal Storage for Japan Release
Sony is launching an updated version of its PlayStation Portal handheld device exclusively in Japan on December 10th. This new model, which will be renamed from 'PlayStation Portal Remote Player' to 'PlayStation Portal Player,' features a midnight black color scheme and includes additional internal storage intended for unspecified future functionality. The inclusion of extra storage and the name change suggest that Sony may be preparing to integrate streaming applications—such as YouTube or Netflix—or offline media playback capabilities, which are currently absent from the existing hardware. This Japan-only model will require a Japanese PlayStation account and is priced at 39,980 yen.
