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...

PS Vita to get some Sunflowers

When the sun is out, nothing likes prettier than a field full of Sunflowers. Even when its pissing it down, you'll be able to recreate the experience with a new game from the makers of PSP mini Flying Hamsters. In it, your aim is to grow the flowers by controlling the sun and dropping the right elements through the clouds.

Just had a quick chat with the developers and they've offered some more detail:


  • The game uses the PS Vita vertically only
  • Touchscreen and/or rear touchpad can be used for moving the Sun
  • Tapping Touchscreen/rear touchpad and/or L/R buttons can be used for shooting
  • Shaking the device (using the accelerometer) is used to get rid of dead leaves on Autumn levels
  • The camera is used to catch the ambient light during specific dusk tropical stages





Specifically a PS Vita release, it uses all the system's interfaces such as shaking and the touchscreen, and it plays with the screen held in portrait, which is a first, I think. With its bright visuals, tinkly tunes, if it was any jollier, it would explode in rainbows. Expect a release and a demo soon, with its classic, immediate style of hook, this looks like a winner.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
