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...

Japan gets another no-game Vita limited edition

Does Sony have no shame? Here's another gameless Vita limited edition, tying in with the launch of Square Enix's Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward, a game that will only launch on PS4, PS3 and PC. They're out in a couple of weeks on the Japanese PS store.

Sure the Vita TV and Vita console have some nice little decals on them, and they come with a downloadable theme, but without the game to play (ignoring Remote Play, cough!) what's the damn point? They follow on the equally pretty but pointless Yakuza 0 limited editions.

For reference, this is the 43rd model of Vita to go on sale in Japan, I count that Europe has managed just three. Black PS Vita 1000 launch, White Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Black PS Vita 2000, excluding all the software megpack bundles. And Sony wonders what the problem is?

Incidentally, Square has also announced Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is now coming to PC. Is anyone else wondering if Square will try to make up for last year's E3 farce and pull a Vita version out of the hat too?
