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...

Ayaneo lining up a limited edition Pocket DMG

Not long after the Evercade Kith LE, we have Ayaneo warming up for a livestream tomorrow to show off what appears to be a shiny metal version of the Pocket DMG. Billed as a Bright Silver exclusive limited edition, it looks impressive, but only die-hard collectors or those new to the brand will likely shell out for it. 


There are various specifications in the family, with DroiX putting a £30 premium (provisionally) for just under £350 on the new silver model. Ayaneo positioned the DMG as a super-charged Game Boy style device, but capable of playing pretty much anything in your retro archive. 

US prices are $399 early bird for the 8GB+128GB model (soon to be $449), and $419EB, later $529 for the 12GB+256GM model. 

Features include:

Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
3.92" OLED Display, 6000mAh battery
Left joystick + touchpad and Magic Switch scroll wheel
Coastline shoulder buttons

The originals were available in black or white plastic cases, so this is a posh edition, but there seems little need to upgrade the power or storage. 

Retroid's Pocket Classic 6 is a neat budget option, with Sega Saturn styling, if you're not in need of all that power, with more front buttons for around £150. 

The Classic 6 has a weaker Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 octa-core processor compared to the DMG's Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, but again, that's insane power for a dinky portable. Check out the full reveal tomorrow
