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.

Ayaneo ups the portable power with the Pocket S range

Android devices are driving retro gaming to new heights with a constant raft of specification updates. The new Ayaneo Pocket S is the latest example, packing a six-inch 1440p borderless IPS screen, a Snapdragon G3x second-generation processor, improved cooling and new Hall sensing thumb-sticks and triggers. 

Updated: Pocket S prices and configurations have dropped, starting at $439 for early adopters up to $659 for a 1TB model, and then - well whimper for yourself...

Looking very much like the Switch should have, the Pocket S features a 1GHz GPU to power both modern and retro games, and up to 16GB memory with a maximum of 1TB storage, it can handle any retro collection with ease. It looks like it will easily play PS2 and Dreamcast games, all the way up to some current systems through emulation.

A proper launch event goes live on April 26th, but enjoy the black vs white promo video for now, and if you don't need the latest in processor power, Anayeo has plenty more models and styles to choose from across all budgets. 


Check out a preview video from Retro Game Corps from some more insights into the first-look hardware and see where there's room for improvement before it hits the retro store shelves.
