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...

Set the date, Sony's Gamescom press event confirmed, what to you want to see?

After yet another E3 blow-off, Sony will be looking to make amends for Vita owners at Gamescom, but with a whole new PS4 and some unrevealed titles to show, it will be a tough act to juggle the needs of promoting three devices in the 90-odd minutes. Anyway, that date for your diary is Tuesday, August 20th, starting at 7pm Central European Time (6pm in the UK, 1PM EST or 10AM PST - I think).

Personally, I think a modest price cut is coming, maybe down to £129 in the UK with some bundle refreshes, or at least price cuts for memory cards. For games we'll see the new Assassin's Creed formally unveiled, a very quick peek at FIFA 14, maybe Shahid's "big title" and perhaps a few western announcements of Japanese titles, a couple of new 2014 games announced and a highlight reel of indie hits. Any more than that, and any longer than 8 minutes and I'll be surprised.

What do you expect/hope or want to see? Let us know in the comments.

    As a recent vita owner and ps+ subscriber, i would love to see a 50% reduction in memory cards rather than a drop in price for the vita - as for games more AAA games so a new uncharted would be great!
