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...

Sony's Xperia Z3 devices also do Remote Play

Chipping away at the Vita's unique selling points, Sony's latest range of Xperia Z3 smartphones, revealed at IFA Berlin can also do Remote Play.

If Sony does want to upgrade the Vita's specs with a new, more powerful edition, then the Z3 offers a reasonable benchmark to aim at. The new model boasts a 5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) Triluminous display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.5GHz and 3GB of RAM, plus 16 or 32GB of internal storage. Cut out all the cellphone gubbins and I'm sure costs could be kept down.
