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...

Opinion: Sony TGS - Don't Bring a PowerPoint to a games show

Dear Sony,

Well done for boring the socks of an entire industry. I'm not talking about the games, although there's a slight air of could-have-done-better (not so many remakes) about them. But for 90+ minutes you  managed to sap the excitement, enthusiasm and life out of your presentation.

And that's the problem, you dragged out a corporate presentation to a party... spending half the time demoing social features and TV services that are about 3% of your user's time is a waste of that time. Similarly, games are living breathing beasts, we don't go "ooh" over a logo any more, gamers and gaming journalists want to see high impact live footage from the games themselves, even rendered trailers are pretty much a sin now in the HD era.

Fix it for next time please!
