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...

My Vita's first crash, memory card panic


Got a bit of a scare last night as my Vita did its first Kamikaze act, just as Golf started to load everything froze and a reboot gave me Sony recovery options but gave me no real solution. Check out the tweetstream (from the bottom) to see the raw emotion and naked pain of the incident....


As you can see, by the simple act of removing and reinserting the memory card, the problem went away. But is it going to come back? Will it get worse? Will it really wipe my data (doing a backup right now just in case). Are Sony's memory cards not all that hot.

Anyway, advice of the day, if this happens to you, remove and replace the card and hopefully everything will be alright. P.S. Sony never bothered replying...
