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.

So you're buying a PS Vita, essential games to own

Just over a year ago, I wrote this buying guide, covering the best Vita games, budget titles, augmented games and others so far, which has proved to be one of the more enduring articles on the blog.

If you're coming in late, that's an impressive roster of good or great games (for a theoretically struggling platform) and the indie stream has really given it impetus. See my reviews list for some more detail, or search the blog for news, video etc. Anything I've forgotten, or your own favourites? Let us know in the comments.
