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...

Xeno Crisis gets a Vita trophy listing

Update: confirmed and with a physical release including soundtrack CD and . Pre-orders go live on 9th July and arrive in September. I will fight the lot of you down to my last grenade at the gates of Outpost 88 to grab one of the 2,000 copies!

Side note, I wonder if Strictly Limited's Ultracore (which also got a fresh trophy listing) is headed the same route to get that much craved physical?


Original Story:

I love this retro/modern Mega Drive shooter on my Switch (review) from Bitmap Bureau, it is classic gaming brilliance, but also a game that will definitely feel better on the Vita. But, why bother with such a small user base? However, having run the Switch, PS4, PC, Mega Drive, Dreamcast and NEO GEO owners dry, the developers are probably wondering where else it can go?


Xeno Crisis is arriving on the Evercade in October, but us loyal Vita buyers might be excited as a trophy listing has turned up, suggesting that we're next on the list, perhaps with a neat physical from a suitably connected publisher.



Last year, Bitmap Bureau said: "It would be very cool to see Xeno Crisis on the PS Vita, but we already have enough work to do with finishing the Dreamcast and Neo Geo versions, sorry! Confused face."

And with work finishing up on those versions, I guess they're at a loose end before starting on a sequel or an all-new project. So, here's hoping this isn't another faux-listing. No official word yet, but pretty sure this would sell decent numbers by Vita standards.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
