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...

First look at Madden 13 from EA Sports

Sure, this is from the big-screen versions, but given the great job EA did with FIFA, you'd have to hope the Vita version gets all this gloss too. Expect that scary rubber-faced Phil Simms commentator, he can be first for the trash can.

With Calvin Johnson adorning the cover, this update looks to have had a lot of effort put into it, and while motion-blur isn't the first feature I'd be shouting about, the others look like solid additions to the series.




UPDATE: I read somewhere, but can't find the source (found it - IGN), that the Vita version will run on last year's engine with some of this year's tweaks. Hopefully that should be good enough, but the more EA can cram in the better. Also, the Vita and PS3 versions won't share saves, which kind of misses the point of the whole Vita connectivity issues. EA really needs to get on the ball here, as screwing up the first version could irreparably damage its future chances.
