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...

Phantasy Star Online hits 500,000 Vita downloads.

Well other a third of Vita owners in Japan seem to be playing this game as the digital version hits the half-a-million point in around four months of availability. With constant updates, new episodes on the way and a huge amount of kit to pay for and try out the game seems to be one of the Vita's brightest titles. However, to temper that excitement, Sega noted that it had been downloaded 350,000 times in the first few weeks of availability.

Still no official word on it coming out in the west, but you'd think that with modest overheads of an all-digital model, it would be an attractive proposition for Sega, or heck, just release a boxed-version at a modest price.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
