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...

Well that sucked! One free-to-play game and some DLC, big whoop!

That shocked silence overnight was my flabber being ghasted that Sony once again has failed to deliver at E3, all but killing the Vita as a core games machine. Sure, it'll trudge on with indies and the odd first party title, plus some crumbs from the table of Japanese gaming, but really folks, stick a fork in the game old bird, 'cause she's done.

Apart from looking like a slightly open box of chocolates, the PS4 looks all right and is clearly Sony's focus going forward. The total lack of third-party Vita news is the real killer. Don't get your hopes up for Gamescom or much at Tokyo Games Show, nothing to see here, move along. And never, ever believe a Sony spokesperson, ever again (paraphrasing "Oh, we boobed last E3, we won't make that mistake again!!!!!"). Note, that's not aimed at Shahid, he's the man!

Looking forward to a lively indie scene on this blog, bring them on! On a happier note, a few trailers for already-announced stuff are dribbling out the rotting corpse of E3.
