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 promises a Vita show at Gamescom

Having slipped back into its bad old ways at E3, Sony is promising bigger and better things for the Vita at Gamescom in Germany, in a couple of months. The pretty obvious question at that point is will Sony find room in its PS4-heavy keynote to drop some new Vita games into the mix.

Talking to Hiphopgamer, Rey Gutierrez, Video Director for Sony, said "We blew it out of the park this E3 with PlayStation 4 but PS Vita has so much more to go, we've got so much more love to show at the showcase and I can safely say Gamescom is definitely going to be a PS Vita show, so you'll see."

Even if Sony is bringing the big guns, the handheld needs more third party support, beyond the stirling efforts of the indies. So, we'll get all hyped up again in August and wait to see what legendary games Sony has to show. Not even going to play "let's guess what'll be on show" this time, and then there's Tokyo Games Show for one last stab at Vita greatness, before it begins 2014 as a gamer's curio.
