Portable post-Black Friday deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

 While there's no sign of a discount on the PlayStation Portal or Xbox Ally, portable gamers can still get in on the Black Friday action. From handheld PC gaming devices to Nintendo, there's plenty on offer.  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 gettting 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 Europe and US markets.  Not all deals have kicked in yet, but the official list is:  Up to 30% off all cartridges released before September 2025 20% off all hardware released before September 2025 US and Canada to receive 20% off all lines released...

AT&T unveils pricing for the 3G Vita

In America, AT&T is the lead partner for the 3G model of the PS Vita, similar to Vodafone in the UK. It is offering two price plans for the 3G service with $14.99 per month for 250MB or $24.99 per month for 2GB.
In other words, most gamers will stick to the WiFi version as two sets of mobile charges are a luxury most of us can't afford (I'd guess).

I'd thought we'd have seen a better take up of the 3G option in Japan, where their culture is more mobile focused, but sales of the WiFi model were miles ahead. Expect only the rich and insane to pick up the 3G model in the west.
