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...

God of War doesn't fancy it on the Vita

So, you've got a slick new handheld console and you want to market it to as many people as possible. Do you:

A) Bring your hottest properties to the console?

B) Give them a free paint app?

Well, this week Sony went with B, as the new God of War game, outed by Amazon, will be a PS3 exclusive. So, when Sony executives were sat on stage talking about this near-PS3 experience you were getting on the Vita, they clearly forgot to tell their own Santa Monica Studios.



I'm not saying Sony has given up all hope, we're getting a Resistance game after all, and some sort of Call of Duty and a Bioshock title from third parties, but God of War is huge and putting it on the Vita would signal Sony's intent and highlight the power of the Vita.

Perhaps we'll get a God of War game eventually, but given their success on the PSP, this was a no-brainer that Sony has flubbed horribly.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
