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...

More PSP/PS1 Classics join the PS+ party

Vita and PSP owners should be intimately familiar with the new bunch of classics making their way to the PS+ roster in March. They include the near-perfect Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1) which is back on a big screen some 12 years after it arrived on the PSP/Vita PSN store.

Looking forward to this, if only Sony would sneak out a JogCon dial controller to play it properly. I hope they managed to upscale the classic intro video with Reiko at least? Or, perhaps, kick the frame rate up a bit.

Update: Having played around with R4, New video modes include retro-modern and modern, with a range of display modes from 1:1 pixel to widescreen stretch. 


Also making a comeback are the PSP iterations of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, a game that should really well with a DualSense, and the joyous Ape Escape 2. No word yet if these have extra visual tweaks or trophy support but guess we'll find out soon enough. 


Just noticed in the blog post that Syphon Filter has "enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters" in mix to improve the experience. The Game Catalog line-up update will be available on Tuesday March 21 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members. 

Will update if there's any news on new features or trophies!
