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...

Legacy of Kain Collection bleeds on the Evercade

Hot on the heels of a second Bitmap Brothers Amiga collection, Evercade is ramping up the release news after the summer snooze. Featuring the PlayStation's Legacy of Kain duo, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver from Crystal Dynamics, the mid-to-late nineties anti-hero rode the flip from 2D to 3D graphics well, garnered good review scores and generated lots of love. 

Pretty sure I played the Dreamcast version of Soul Reaver, but am happy to step down a notch. 

That's a bit of good news after the delay to November of the revised EXP-R handheld model. Evercade Collection 41 arrives in September for £22.99, I guess they were fairly compact releases as this isn't badged with the GigaCart tag for larger-storage carts (like Tomb Raider). 

Both Tomb Raider and Kain are from the Crystal Dynamics stable, so it would be logical to assume that a few more games are on the way, with the Gex and Pandemonium games having plenty of cachet and potential.
