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...

Another Android handheld riffs on the Vita

Remember the PSP being a great retro machine. And most of crackers efforts have been on trying to free up the Vita to do a similar job? Well, never mind. Just pay £129 and get yourself a JXD S7800. Despite the crappy name this little Android handheld with a 7-inch 1280*800 screen claims to play all Android games, plus PS1, N64, SNES, Megadrive and many more games through emulation. It seems to be an update to this JXD device from 2012!


What can the Vita play? About 700 native games (most not available in the west) some PSP titles and a very small number of PS one games - sounds rather pathetic in comparison doesn't it. Also on the way is Snail Games W3D handheld and a whole army of micro-consoles to squish the feeble-selling PlayStation TV - you'd think Sony might want to do something about that,
