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.

Sony's Vita Design Team Interviewed

The Sony Blog (Japan) has been updated with interviews with some of the team responsible for designing and building the PS Vita and its software.

"There were many ideas about the logo, I decided to use the same font for the PS3 and get a sense of family."


"The screen also has a very wide viewing angle to it, and I think the best combinations of gyro and acceleration sensors. It does not have residual delays and there is no problem (with movement) as I can play while moving the body."
