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...

Set the date for Sony's Gamescom press event

Take #9 Mr DeMille.... Here comes Sony's last chance to impress the western market this year with some, any, or no news for Vita fans and would-be buyers. The company's Gamescom event is scheduled for 7PM UK, (6PM CET, 1PM EST, 10AM Pacific) on Tuesday 12th August, the day before the show kicks off.

The Cologne-based Gamescom has been slightly less bastardly to the Vita in the past than E3, but I have little hope for anything past one, possible big announcement, a raft of Japanese translations and some new indie ports in the fold.



Will it be FF Type 0 (again), a GTA stories, something using the Killzone engine? Who knows, and despite the decent sales of Borderlands 2, it looks like the "Sony brand" doesn't particularly care, bar a few stalwart supporters within the company. And why would it, when the PS4 is going gangbusters in the west?

Don't expect a price-cut, but perhaps more bundles and card-game packages, do expect a release date for PlayStation (Vita) TV and the words Remote Play to be used a lot. If you really want some Vita news, wait for Tokyo Game Show in September, where I'm sure there will be plenty of new launches to savour.
