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. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

NGP Early Demand Strong, If the Price is Right

One store is going as far as hoping for a £199 price point, while others want to see it match the 3DS at £239ish, but most reckon as long as it hits at under £300 it will still do a roaring trade.

Whatever happens with the price, Sony has to get the unit shipments right otherwise this goodwill go straight out the window if it can't get enough stock. It also needs to advertise the handheld as if it were the PS4 (or the second coming, whichever is bigger) to reach the widest possible audience.
