From handheld PC gaming devices to Nintendo, there's plenty on offer.  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 gettting 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 Europe and US markets.  Not all deals have kicked in yet, but the official list is:  Up to 30% off all cartridges released before September 2025 20% off all hardware released before September 2025 US and Canada to receive 20% off all lines released...

Those fun moments when PlayStation remembers its portables

I suspect PlayStation US and UK are under some mad management or PR/marketing embargo of never talking about or discussing the PSP and Vita, ever again. As just one example, it took ages before they even recognised the PSP rereleases on PS+ as such. And the number of times they share "PlayStation Family" images and forget the portables, don't get me started. 

So its good to see PlayStation France going their own way with a lovely visual tweet to celebrate the portable's existence and to find a huge virtual cuddle of fondness for them among the fanbase française. 

So, bonjour to all my continental chums and congrats to the brave soul at PlayStation who stuck their head above the corporate firewall. 

With Freedom Wars Remastered just out, you'd have thought now would be a good time for a nostalgic tie-in to get people talking about the Vita game, and all the fun we had. But, nah! Since it launched, both Sony and Namco have near-instantly moved on to other things. Okay, the remaster is a multiplatform release, but talk about missing an open goal for some easy love! 

Bonsoir et bonne chance!
