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...

Bitmap Brothers collection heads to Evercade

 A lot of the Evercade carts have some classics, some curios and the odd uhh? game among them. But this is probably as close as Evercade has come so far to hitting a solid gold AAA effort. 

Not only does it show that Evercade is listening, The Bitmaps came up as a suggestion when they were looking for ideas, it shows another step up in quality acquisitions. The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 packs in five legendary titles for the handheld (and upcoming Vs console): 

  • The Chaos Engine
  • Speedball
  • Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
  • Speedball 2100 (PlayStation)
  • Xenon 2: Megablast


The questions are already flying about which versions we'll get, guess time will tell on that question, with the Amiga versions usually the definitive ones, but more likely SNES/Mega Drive ones on the cart. 

I guess its a shame the original Xenon is absent and Gods was recently remastered by someone else, so there may be rights issues. But, there's plenty of scope for further collections and even so, this is a cart I would play the heck out of until the end of time. 

The Bitmap's join other great British development talent coming to the Evercade, including the Worms series from Team 17 and The Oliver Twins/Codemaster's Dizzy collection.
