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...

Well, at least the Vita gets a Disgaea 5 theme

As Japanese developers transfer their focus to the booming PS4 market, Vita opportunities for major gaming series will slowly diminish, as we see with Disgaea 5 being a PS4-only title. Still, NIS still loves us (a little) as it drops a PS Vita theme for the game alongside one for the PS4's front end.

I can't fault developers wanting to work with the awesome power of the PS4 and not the backwater of the Vita. But, how hard can it be for major teams to have some resources working on a best-case Vita version, especially in Japan where millions of gamers are eager for new games?



While that's not quite as galling as Sega's Yakuza-0 PS Vita and PS TV model, hopefully NIS America will drop this on the western PSN to liven up unhappy zip screens.
