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.

PSP Price Cut, But Where's the Rest?

Sony US has announced an official PSP-3000 price cut down to $129 from the weekend with bundles down to $159. Which is good, but what about the PSPGo? That's the machine I'd like to pick up - news on that being cheaper would be good, but at the moment its still $199.

Alas, in Europe, Sony has nothing to announce on any front, although it probably has plans, a £99 PSP would sell a fair few. Plus, there has to be some innovative marketing left in the cunning plan cupboard? Interestingly Sony has said, "PSP has been performing particularly well in Europe so far this year" which must come as a bit of a pleasant surprise.

So, we enter the final phase of the PSP's active life, with just a few hit games to come in the roster before it mooches off into budget, cash-in and franchise release-only territory. Surely when it hits that sad point, Sony can let go control and make it homebrew friendly?
