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.

PlayStation Now subscription service arrives, £12.99 a month

Ahh, the real reason why Sony doesn't like backward compatible consoles - so it can sell us all those old games yet again. At least PlayStation Now finally comes with a sensible subscription figure, rather than being charged per game for a limited  and pointless period.


I'll be tempted to give this a try, but for now given the vagaries of the Vita's appalling WiFi speeds and the fact the library seems to assume no one ever got a PS3, I'll wait until there's something more interesting to play, that isn't already on my Vita.

I won't complain about the price, given the back-end grunt this service must need, but suspect Sony will put out some offers to get people interested soon enough.
