Portable post-Black Friday deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

 While there's no sign of a discount on the PlayStation Portal or Xbox Ally, portable gamers can still get in on the Black Friday action. From handheld PC gaming devices to Nintendo, there's plenty on offer.  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 gettting 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 Europe and US markets.  Not all deals have kicked in yet, but the official list is:  Up to 30% off all cartridges released before September 2025 20% off all hardware released before September 2025 US and Canada to receive 20% off all lines released...

Freedom Wars can't break into the all-formats chart

No surprise that Freedom Wars is top of the Vita chart, but there's no sign of it in the all-formats top 20 (waiting to see the top 40 list), and still no reviews from major sites, (plenty of fan sites have them though) can anyone smell conspiracy here? Although, as if any review will get noticed this week as the major sites fawn all over the latest Call of Duty remake (okay, I'm a bit jealous).

UPDATE: Stop the press, Freedom Wars managed to break into the top 40..... at No. 39!




No surprise that Minecraft is top of Sony's most popular PSN Vita chart and over on Amazon Minecraft is also the only representative in the all-formats 100 best sellers, currently at 53. Despite Sony Japan and partners putting major development chops into the game, I've seen no marketing from Sony Europe, So, again, if there was ever a time where you could stick a fork in the Vita as a developer's machine, this is it. Indies, ports and imports all the way folks.
