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...

Big Fest opens its gates this week

Sony ain't afraid of no marketing! With not even a PS blog post, From out of Nowhere, here comes Big Fest for the Vita, dropped on users like an unsuspecting piece of Cherry Pie. Presumably the last first party title for the flying V, it has OntheMetal down as developers, who have next to no history.

UPDATE: Okay, Sony finally put up a blog post! Note, the game is not PS TV compatible, also it seems to be having early server issues, so check before you download.

Somewhere between Theme Park and Download Festival, Big Fest helps you build you own events, promote bands, add all the entertainment extras to keep the Youth Gone Wild happy.

Now a Vita exclusive, get ready to be Thunderstruck, hopefully! If this is Sony's idea of Christmas for handheld gamers, then umm, Thanks for the Memories? I think!

For £7.99 (not free to play as previously mentioned by Sony) it is probably worth it. Given the long development time, something good must have driven it to completion. Hopefully it won't leave a taste of Bad Medicine in gamer's mouths.

The use of unsigned bands to promote might have been a cool idea, but given the Vita's nicheness, it'll probably have all the impact of a festival hot dog.
