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...

Vita PlayStation Plus Line-up shrinks to a pixel on the landscape

This was never going to end well! With so few Vita games coming out, it is largely thanks to Cross Buy titles that we're getting any fun in the coming months across both the US and EU stores.

UPDATE: One interesting change on the EU update is the news that games on PS+ will be yours to keep forever, rather than just when your subscription expires. Not sure if that's for old titles, but the new ones seem to have no (or very distant [2023]) expiry dates. Of course, this could be a legal issue in one territory, or just a Sony cock-up.

On the plus side, we know know what not to buy. Certainly these games are great, but with the launch roster shrinking, even for indies it seems, the Vita's days of meaningful contributions (baring repeats) have to be numbered. Things aren't so bad if you have a PS3 or PS4, certainly getting closer to the tipping point to upgrade.

November:

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (trailer) and Steamworld Dig on PS4,
Frozen Synapse Prime (apparently not Cross Buy) and Luftrausers on PS3,
The Hungry Horde and Escape Plan on PS Vita.

December: 

 Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (PS4)
Secret Ponchos
More TBC

January: 

inFAMOUS: First Light (PS4)
The Swapper (PS3 and Vita)
More TBC

Just remember to pick up Spelunky, Pix the Cat and Rainbow Moon before they vanish later today.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
