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...

Freedom Wars in-game clip sees Sony pushing 2014's line-up

With the big beasts for the Vita now out on Japanese shelves, Sony is trying to divert gamers' eyes forward to the future with next year's offerings. Leading the way is Freedom Wars, which has input from the God Eater 2 team Shift and Sonic 4 crew Dimps, to widen the talent pool. This first in-game action shows the usual team of players running around the usual demonic fiend, bringing it down in a fiery and disjointed end, with grappling hooks to get higher around the scene.

How does that fit in with the Panopticon concept of massive prison sentences for all citizens? Guess we'll find out soon enough, but roughly every beastie you take down or citizen you rescue (guess that's the carrying to the pod scene) helps reduce your sentence, hopefully there are other ways to do that too. Clearly there's a lot of work to do but this is the kind of game that the Japanese are lapping up and if it can do anything a little different, that could see it sell easily.
