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...

PS Vita Roundup is 10 years old

 As you may have noticed by the changes to the header, this blog has hit the big one-oh! An entire decade and over 7,500 posts. Back then, revving up for Christmas 2010, all the talk was about the PSP's last few big hitters like The 3rd Birthday and Gran Turismo

Then there was the incoming PlayStation Android Phone, eventually called Xperia Play and whatever Sony had planned for PlayStation Portable 2 (the blog was originally called PSP2 Roundup, still in the URL), eventually called the Vita. A system that seemed destined to fit in neatly between the PS3 and PS4 and do some cool mobile tricks. 

The early days were full of whispers of an Uncharted game, as if a portable could really do justice to the PS3 series. And so many big dreams and ideas, some of which happened and some died in shame, while the Vita struggled to find a home in the market. 

Through thick and thinner, some 7,500 posts later, I'm still going as I love the Vita - one of the best examples of hardware design - Posts are a bit slower than in its brief hey day, but us Vita owners march on in to a second decade, in the vague hope that Sony will do something portable again. 

Remember, NEVER turn your back on the Vita! And with just one year to go until the Vita itself turns 10, look forward to still blogging about it then! 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
