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...

Okay, so the PS Vita can stream top PC games, interesting....

You've probably seen this video of the PS Vita running Valve's Left 4 Dead via PlayStation Mobile. Note, it looks like he's streaming the game from his desktop, not installing it to the Vita. Don't think for a minute that Valve would sanction this for a release, but just think about the wider implications while you check out the clip.

There are tens of thousands of PC games out there, and the person who did this has a YouTube channel with a few other titles running to, presumably didn't require months of work to do. With the Vita badly in need of games, what will it take for a small team to get the license for a bunch of existing games, run them through the treadmill and release them on a revenue share-basis through the store?

How much effort would it take to get the likes of Portal, Skyrim, Spec Ops or older titles like Half-Life 2 or Starcraft running? Either streaming them, or by direct install for older games that the company will be happy to get some fresh revenue from.
