We're now on the day after the PlayStation Portal's release and the stock situation is still looking bleak. In fact, in one way, annoyingly bleak: shoppers will now have to contend with and avoid scalpers with inflated prices. This is a particular issue at Amazon on both sides of the Atlantic. We recommend avoiding them at all costs and not playing their game.
To offset this with some good news, PlayStation Direct US and UK have both got hopeful messages on their Portal listing pages. In the US, Sony has advised checking back in "early December" while the UK has something even more promising in the form of "Please check back on Wednesday 22nd November" - that's only next week!
Along with bookmarking that date in the calendar, we would still recommend checking all the links on this page this week, just in case there are any canceled orders, flashes of stock out of the blue, or just a bit of luck going your way.
As a reminder on why we're pumped for the Portal, we think that, for many folks, particularly those who mainly play on PS5, the PlayStation Portal accessory could be a revolutionary device, opening up extra gaming opportunities and time. It's proved to have a lasting impression on me already, and you can read more in our full PlayStation Portal review. If you're still on the fence and need some more focused help working out whether the device is for you, then check out our guide to should you buy a PlayStation Portal, as well as our PlayStation Portal vs Backbone One comparison.
Aside from the upcoming Black Friday gaming deals and Black Friday PS5 deals, knowing where to buy a PlayStation Portal this holiday could be one of the most exciting things in this year's sales period for gamers.
We've covered all the go-to stockists and retailers that are worth looking at right now below, but if you're looking for a quick snapshot, our price-finding tech will give you the best price, deal, and availability it can find just below before we get into it.
Where to buy PlayStation Portal - US
Check stock at Amazon
The go-to behemoth online retailer should be worth keeping tabs on - if stock can reappear anywhere quickly and out of the blue, then this is as good a place as any.View Deal
Check stock at Best Buy
We've had reports of stock flashing up at Best Buy regularly today already so this is definitely one to keep an eye on - and certainly in your locality with local stores seemingly getting a few units in to buy.View Deal
Check stock at Walmart
Up until very recently, this was the retailer to have stock in and its stock levels are still coming and going so we'd say it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on Walmart this week if you prefer to shop there. View Deal
Check stock at GameStop
The game-specialist retailer did have stock for a long while and has seen fluctuations in recent weeks so is worth a bookmark and keeping an eye on.View Deal
Check stock at PlayStation Direct
PlayStation Direct itself has no stock now, but does recommend fans return to the site in "early December". Hopefully, we'll see more stock then, but, like the PS5 stock situation, it's always worth refreshing in the meantime, just in case.View Deal
Check stock at Newegg
At one point, Newegg was the only retailer away from PlayStation Direct to still have stock, but now it too is listing the Portal as out of stock. Well worth a check though, as are all these retailers.View Deal
Check stock at Target
Target has seen stock so is a worthwhile candidate to keep an eye on given the current state of affairs - though we think one of the above retailers is perhaps slightly more likely to get stock first.View Deal
Where to buy PlayStation Portal - UK
Check stock at Amazon
Many UK shoppers' go-to retailer has seen its PS Portal stock go up and down, particularly in the last couple of weeks. As with the PS5 stock problems, however, it's worth keeping an eye on this page as it can change very quickly.View Deal
Check stock at Game
Video game specialist retailer, Game, has been a go-to for Portal stock and is absolutely worth checking in regularly with today.View Deal
Check stock at Argos
This store had stock first thing in the morning UK time, but it looks to have gone. You may get lucky with your postcode and availability so it's still worth a go.View Deal
Check stock at PlayStation Direct
There's no stock at PlayStation Direct UK either, but Sony has included a promising date on the listing page that might hint at when stock will come back - November 22nd. In this stock-less situation, we will take that!View Deal
Check stock at Very
Another popular retailer in the UK for gaming, Very too has no stock right now it seems, but it has been coming and going. One to keep an eye on.View Deal
Check stock at Currys
Always worth a look in the UK, electrical specialist and huge stockist of many things, Currys, has had stock recently. Definitely one to check as local stores' stock can be a factor here.View Deal
