Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189.

Could iPad 2 Be A Gamer's Dream

With the iPad 2 unveiling confirmed for next week, and such features as a massive resolution display unlikely additions due to costs, could Apple take a gaming-focused direction with the device to waggle a finger at Sony's forthcoming NGP and Xperia Play?

If Apple can squeeze in a dual-core processor then it could certainly be a power match for the Xperia Play, in fact the current year-old iPad can run it pretty close. If it manages to ship with the rumored dual-core SGX543 GPU, then it could give the NGP a fair fight. Of course both those devices have dedicated control inputs, something iPad will never have.

We'll see next Wednesday, but with extra cooling, and increasing gaming activity on the iPhone and iPad, Apple would be mad to ignore the booming community, and the chance to put a cat among its rival's pigeons.
