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...

Speculative game alert: Star Wars Rebels

The successor TV cartoon series to the Clone Wars, Rebels is due to hit the small screen next year, and a first teaser image was shown at a recent fan event (art below, the focal ship is a Ghost). With its younger-viewer focus I'd expect to see at least one game, similar to the PSP's Clone Wars title, ignoring any possible LEGO off-shoots hit the Vita and 3DS.


With some 20 Star Wars games cancelled over the life of LucasArts' existence, hopefully Disney will be a little more forthcoming with its digital entertainment, and the Vita would be an ideal format for an arcade adventure game based on the adventures of the formative rebels.

Hopefully the Vita will be selling better by the time such a decision from the bean counters is due, and has a few more hits behind it. But who wouldn't want to go whizzing around the galaxy, fermenting the rebellion?
