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...

Praying for Push Updates on the PSP2

Having seen Fieldrunners get a hefty update on the iPhone, I checked the PSP store to see if our version was getting some extra-level love this Christmas. Then I noticed there is no real update mechanism for PSP download games.

You have to go to the XMB, game menu, access each game and use the Update feature to check if there is one. That's not a good user experience, and its made worse by the fact that not one of the games I own has been updated, which is a pretty poor show, given how smartphone games thrive on giving their users updates and extras.

So, that's one thing the PSP2 design can fix. Its a simple enough feature that the iPhone demonstrates perfectly... so come on Sony, catch up with the pack!
