While the winds of Black Friday rage on beside us, there’s another name on the lips of PlayStation fans this shopping season: PlayStation Portal. While the initial reaction to the ‘play PS5 on your sofa’ device were mild, stock levels have proved extremely limited, and now everyone wants one. We gave the device an 8/10 in our review, stating that its a great second screen for your PS5, but lack of Bluetooth and an internet browser limit its use outside the house.
For now, we’re all on the hunt for one of these tidy devices, as the alure of fighting over the TV during the holidays quickly becomes a reality. You’re in the right place, as we’ve got all the details on where and when you can buy the PS Portal for the foreseable future in the UK.
