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...

Sony launches white PSP E1000 model for summer

Sony must be getting some PSP sales from somewhere, as the company is launching a new white model of its cheapo PSP E1000. Judging by the lifestyle shots, these are firmly aimed at the kids to keep them quiet during the summer holidays. The ice white unit's price is still £89.99 and will be on sale in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and Ireland.


With huge numbers of games available for £6-10 on Amazon and some remaining in stores, its not a bad time killer for the little ones, or those who need to replace an older model. Just remember there's no Wi-Fi, so its a UMD-only device unless you copy your downloads from PC or PS3 to the memory card. The unit should hit stores by July.

Of course, a few more colour varieties for the PS Vita might be a pressing issue for Sony, with a white model coming to Japan, but Sony clearly thinks if it can get lots of young PSP owners, they might upgrade to Vitas when then time comes.
