From handheld PC gaming devices to Nintendo, there's plenty on offer.  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 gettting 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 Europe and US markets.  Not all deals have kicked in yet, but the official list is:  Up to 30% off all cartridges released before September 2025 20% off all hardware released before September 2025 US and Canada to receive 20% off all lines released...

Under the hood of Ridge Racer, drift, multiplayer and tuning

Sony/Namco have promised some new features for the PS Vita release of Ridger Racer and Famitsu has some details and pics. First up is the level of drift which can be set to your chosen spec, presumably now any car type can drift as much as you like.


In multiplayer, which was the main theme of the first Ridge video, we have the "Planetary League." As well as straight racing, teams and drivers can play other modes that have specific objectives to achieve, by winning points - the translation also says "kill a rival" but that might be rather non-literal.


Finally, there's the new tune-up options which looks a little groovier than previous versions but still seems to offer the same set of basic boosts to the car.
