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...

Firmware update 3.30 up and running, no themes though

Ahh, Sony giveth, Sony don't giveth. They give us the firmware update, moving us a couple of notches up the number ladder to 3.30. Then they don't provide any new themes for the major feature of the update, rendering it pretty useless, I mean, really Sony, how hard can it be to coordinate these things?

UPDATE: Late on a Friday night, the themes are finally up on the EU PSN store! The free crystal and stitch themes at any rate, at just a 5MB download each.

Additional features include adding Friends to events, checking trophy rarity and some PlayStation TV stuff, including the ability to use other-region accounts on the Japanese model for those early adopters. There's also a new version of Content Manager Assistant, also up to 3.3.0 if you need to copy data off to your PC - still slow as hell backing up!

Japan has some free and premium (330 yen) themes out and coming, with western themes coming soon! PSN has been reported as unexpectedly down today, perhaps the sheer weight of these new themes is causing problems! Hopefully we'll be able to make our own, too!
