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...

Evercade celebrates all-things retro with a Reimagined video

And while I generally hate lifestyle videos, I'll tolerate this one celebrating all that effort and showing off the flexibility of the handhelds, Super Pockets, big-screen consoles and bar top arcades in providing endless entertainment.

They make for an impressive display, across every generation up to the PlayStation and N64, and who knows what's next with Activision on board? And what I'd guess is a further hardware refresh for spring 2026 to gain access to later 32-bit systems (cough *Dreamcast*). 


Aside from the promised expansion of the Commodore Amiga and Activision collections, there are plenty more indies, retro-modern titles like Roguecraft DX and Full Void out there, and smaller publishers yet to hit the limelight. Bring on 2026 and the most joyous release list in gaming.
