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...

Pants boy tortured again by the Vita in Japan

Perhaps this is what it felt to be a VirtualBoy owner, way back when. And what's with the shot of her skirt? Were you thinking what he was (probably) thinking? Pesky Japanese! It gets worse, here she is on the Sony promo site


I'm starting to think there's something sinister going on here.




UPDATE: Quite a busy time on Japanese screens, here's old helmet head getting involved in some on-screen Freedom Wars action.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
