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...

PSN: Up, Down, Flying Around, Users Looping the Loop... What's Going On?

Sony opened the floodgates with its EU/US PS3 firmware update at the weekend and since then all kinds of madness has broken out:



Japan remains firmly offline while regulators check if the security is up to spec.

PSP users around the world are left out in the cold, so far. Pity the poor PSPGo owners who have been bereft of any new gaming joy for nearly a month now, that's what you get for being part of Sony's IP-only experiment. One that presumably now has a big FAILED sticker stamped all over it.

PS3 users who have updated are now waiting for their new password resets, this is due to the massive demand, before they can go about having any fun. Apparently Sony had to shut everything off and then back on again at one point!

There's still a long way to go, and no word as yet on what -by-way-of-apology-freebies we'll be getting, they had better be good is all 70-odd million people are saying!

The end message as always is: Remain Calm and Carry On!
