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...

Vita refresh model to offer 4G, HDMI and be cheaper?

You can ignore the 4G, that's really for mobile-obsessed Japan, but will be a nice-to-have feature in the coming years. The HDMI-out shown a recent Sony patent for a new model of Vita will be key to helping sell the console, allowing us to play games on the big screen. Tie that in with a streaming service like Gaikai and Sony can use the Vita as a replacement for the PS3 when the PS4 is unveiled next week.



Sony won't kill off the PS3 obviously, but by pushing the Vita as the cheaper PS4 option with a huge library of games to stream, plus the current and new titles, it could become an interesting proposition for gamers, especially with the mooted price cut (for the old version at a guess) but Sony really needs the new version to be $199£160 too.
