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.

PSN Coming Back Up, No Joy for PSP owners

Interestingly, the log in has vanished from the PSN blog screen and you have to sign up again, not sure if this is a temporary glitch of the restart or something else, but I'm not creating another account just yet.

The EU PSN blog is down to text only at the moment, so presumably is getting hit pretty hard by visitors, a sign up the interest in things getting back to normal? Or people coming to stone Kaz's message with more angry comments?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
