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 press event set for 19 September

Up bright and early in a few weeks for Sony's big Japan press event ahead of Tokyo Game Show. Set your alarms for 8AM UK time on 19 September (Midnight PST or stupidly early for east coast America).

Sony's line-up of listed events and titles doesn't mention the Vita once, which is a pretty gloomy way to start, but with plenty of third party releases still to hit Japan, you'd hope Sony would have at least one partner on board.

UPDATE: The event came and went, jump to about 9 minutes into the video for a rerun


Will the company take the fight to Nintendo with an updated Vita or other portable/hybrid? Or will it let Nintendo walk in and dominate portable gaming forever? If so, then will Sony start publishing on the Switch?

Livestream link now active! Either way it will be interesting to find out how they spin it, since focusing on PSVR isn't getting them anywhere fast and PS4 is being ran hard by Switch showing there's life in the portable concept yet.

Having been suggesting the PlayStation 4 Portable for three years now, will Sony finally have the balls and the budget to do it?
