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...

Sony doing Amazon-style deals of the week

The PSN is becoming more like a Del-Boy style market stall every month, with random collections of sale items, dodgy (yet lovely) imports and now random snap sales. The first 'deal of the week' is (in my opinion) a true scam, offering FIFA 14 (Aka FIFA 13, aka FIFA Football) which is now "just" £19.99, down from the insane rip-off price of £45.

Given you can find the original FIFA Football or FIFA 13 for under £10, buy that and you get the same game, minus the latest transfers and kit updates, which I think most of us can live without. It's not like Wayne Rooney is going anywhere.

Quite how EA can expect to charge that much, even reduced, for what should be a free update for any other game is both disgusting and unseemly. Even with Sony playing nice on the sale, you can still get the latest update cheaper in stores.
