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 Japan's Panopticon event to drop some Freedom Wars news

Stand by your cell! Sony is having a big Freedom Wars (review) fan "Sinners Festival" event in Japan this weekend, and will make some announcement or other about its big Abductor hunting game. The event has a big players tournament with the news coming during the final, not sure if it'll be on a Nico Nico broadcast.

Will it be more content, news of a semi-sequel or perhaps a PS4 version with some proper levels? To be honest the game is kind of dragging for me as I aim to get my sentence down to 500,000 for the Gold Trophy, so I won't be too impressed if they just throw in another bunch of missions in similar levels with similar Abductors using similar tactics.

UPDATE: Turns out it was just the competition winners for various Sony lotteries and other contests, so much ado about nothing. Not that anyone was expecting much, cough! At one of the panel discussions, it was mentioned that some of the songs from the game might get a release.



However, if Sony has something really new to show, perhaps some all new Panopticons with new terrors to unleash, then I'll be impressed. Ahead of the event Sony has put up a new Freedom Wars theme on the Japanese PSN to help keep the game in front of people's eyes.
