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 removes your right to play games!

After the maintenance and surprise move to open up previously unplayable PSOne and PSP games on the Vita. Someone at Sony has had a hissy fit and revoked the changes, so now if you missed out, you can't download certain games on the Vita. If you got them, then well done, you! Sony on the other hand is missing the point.

Rule one of customer experience, don't give people something and then take it away.

Rule two of customer experience, if you make a mistake explain about it, don't muck about behind the scenes.

Rule three.... see Rule one.

I see no official word from Sony about what's happening here. It can't be a licensing issue, as the games were already there. At best we can hope that someone jumped the gun. At worst, Sony has just shown they can do something that benefits users and has decided to take it away again, cue toys out of prams and a minor shit storm out of what could have been a beautiful thing. But, Sony's good at producing that sort of result, so we're kind of used to it.
