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.

The PS Vita's PSOne emulator opens a bleary eye, goes back to sleep

While not up and running yet, it looks like Sony is quietly testing the often-demanded service. US users can now actually download one PS One title to their Vitas, getting past that annoying "Cannot download using a PS Vita system" message.

However, the game, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, doesn't run yet on normal Vitas - guessing it does on Sony's internal development firmware, when that goes live all those classic games will come flooding back to life with twin sticks and upscaling. the game doesn't appear on the PAL store, so no luck us, yet! A tiny bit more on VG24/7.

Is it too much of a leap to think that today's PSN downtime (starting to wonder if it is ever really up?) is a pre-cursor to activating the feature?
