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...

Second wave of Evercade releases pre-order plans

The pre-orders for Xeno Crisis/Tanglewood and the Oliver Twins Dizzy collection are now live on Amazon, Funstock and other stores. The on-sale date is a rather depressing 2nd of October, but there's something to be said for anticipation.

Update 25 July: The 2 Atari Lynx collections will go up for pre-order at midnight on 30th of July with a release date of 6th November. Lynx Collection 2 comes with a reversible cover, with Chips Challenge on one side and California Games as the feature title on the other. Evercade also says they have a couple more surprises to keep us excited for 2020!

NOTE: If you want to join us in Evercade Cove, some supplies are left, with fresh stocks of the portable and 10 launch carts due in August!

Despite some early panic, Evercade are saying there will be plenty of stock for the new titles, and the "currently unavailable" notice on Amazon is a mistake on the retailer's part. Presumably lots of people got their orders in super early, but Evercade will produce carts based on total pre-orders plus enough for longer-term supply.



Among the hints are new colours of hardware in 2021, for those who didn't get the LE black model and lots of teasing about future collections.

A reminder that Evercade are being very open about current stock issues, game glitches and their future plans on Twitter and Discord, helping build a solid community. My personal request is that the manuals for future collections are more practical.
