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...

Great PS4 Star Wars bundle, but no Vita Remote Play bundle?

By my count there are at least 10 Star Wars games playable on the Vita. From the PSP Battlefront and Clone Wars titles, to the collections of Zen Pinball Tables and the LEGO Star Wars games, representing a huge amount of gaming.

And, yet, Sony is quite happy to chuck out a PS4 Star Wars bundle with four old games on it, plus the new Battlefront, while failing to tie in one of the biggest brands in gaming and pop culture on its portable. Despite the launch of the new movie and all the free advertising it brings.

Fair enough, this is probably the unit that will get me, and many others, to upgrade my PS3 to a PS4 this winter. But it pains me to know Sony is leaving the Vita to drift alone in a sea of uncaring corporate attitude.

Especially as the handheld is still on the shelves, and it costs Sony about 7p to do a new box wrapper and add some digital download vouchers printed on plain paper, is there really any harm in trying to keep it relevant, even as a Remote Play device for the PS4 game?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
