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.

Japan puts its stamp on the Vita

Japan is swimming in four million Vita consoles, so to make each salaryman's edition slightly different, ignoring the 40 odd variants available, Sony will now engrave a Vita or Vita TV with a message for you, rather like Apple used to do with iPods back in the day.


Perhaps "You are not alone" would be a good message, with the text going anywhere on the back panel or edge of the Vita or on the front of a Vita TV.

See the PSN Japan blog post for more details and examples. Expect this service to come west when you can legitimately put "hell has frozen over" on the back of your handheld, despite the English Helvetica examples they use.
