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...

What Was Missing on Vita at E3? The Games We Still Want

As mentioned earlier, there are several other shows this year where so-far unveiled Vita games will break cover, so what was missing from the line up shown so far?

Well the most obvious candidate is a Gran Turismo game for Vita. Just upscaling the PSP's four-car-on-the-track version really won't cut it. That's begging for a Tokyo Game Show release, as is the PSP's biggest title Monster Hunter.

Also missing, for a while now, has been Syphon Filter, which had a nice little niche on the PSP and were probably the best sneaky shooters until Peace Walker turned up. Resistance is also missing from the list, although the upscaled PSP Retribution game should fill in the gap until a proper title emerges. Other favourites on the PSP were the Ratchet and Clank games, Ace Combat and Grand Theft Auto, surely there will be some news on them soon.

Finally there's the games that were never going to make it to PSP, how about the Half Life or Portal series getting a run out on the Vita. Could Rockstar manage to bundle Red Dead Redemption in there or how about a Fable game from Lionhead? Elder Scrolls was cancelled on PSP, so an NGP version by way of apology would be appreciated and lastly, the biggest cat in the house, surely a proper Modern Warfare game can be crammed into the Vita's carts.
