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 grows English subtitles

With Sony pushing hard into the rest of Asia, what's the quickest way of getting its Japanese-heavy games out there? Apparently adding English subtitles seems to be the way to go, which is great news. Taken a recent Taipei exhibition at which Sony has been pushing its games and hardware, this clip shows Freedom Wars with words as nature intended.

Sure, the audio is still Japanese, but hey, that wasn't a problem with the Akira soundtrack CD 25-odd years ago, and it won't stop importers rushing to buy a game they can now enjoy semi-properly. If Asia sales do kick off, and with China opening its doors ajar, there's some hope, Sony looks to be well placed to win, and us westerners will benefit if they automatically bolt English into their future releases.



We even get the original teaser trailer in English...
