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...

Minor shuffles in the UK Vita chart, Swapper tops PSN

Betting bored of this stagnant mire of, admittedly very decent, games? New releases are nearly here as we hit Autumn. But will they cause much of a shake-up among that heavily entrenched top 5? Hyperdimension Neptunia and Disgaea 4 are out this week, Danganronpa 2 the next. Hope you like Japanese releases, but still no word on Minecraft, which still tops Amazon's pre-order list.

In the PSN chart, recent indies The Swapper (264 ratings) and Rogue Legacy (1,106 ratings) sit atop a pile of older AAA games, once again proving their popularity. Even though the prices of these games are creeping up as the quality and scale increases to fill the gaps left by the major players. Looks like PSN is still being hampered after the weekend's DDOS attack, so I wouldn't be trying to buy anything right now.
