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...

PS4 Link to help the Vita talk to Sony's new console

Whenever the next PS Vita firmware update hits, it will come with a new app called PS4 Link to help the two devices communicate. Hopefully, you only have to tap it once to take control over the PS4 and its output for remote control, Remote Play or other features. The need for apps to have those annoying Live Screens is probably my last major gripe about the user interface.

The app will also come to iOS and Android devices, but since the Vita is the only one with buttons, that has a massive advantage for actually playing the games. It should look something like the image below, which is a little too close to Windows 8 for my tastes, but Sony has otherwise done a decent job of making a neutral-looking UI.
