BackBone One:
$74.99 (was $99.99) at Amazon
Logitech G Cloud:
$299.99 ($349.99) at Amazon

The festivities may have come to an end but, for many, the search for PlayStation Portal stock continues. The good news is Best Buy is looking particularly hot right now, after a spate of restocks over the last couple of days. Walmart and Amazon haven't been quite so forthcoming but we’d always recommend keeping your options open.
Sony's $199 / £199 remote player has been unavailable since shortly after first appeared, barring some quick stock flashes at Walmart in the US and Sony in the UK. Those shelves are pretty bare right now, but this isn't our first rodeo. We were all there for the PS5 shenanigans and since then we've picked up a thing or two about tracking stock. We're rounding up all the retailers we've seen previously offering the chance to buy PlayStation Portal so that you can quickly check for new units.
The key here is patience. After all, that PlayStation Portal stock will return at one point or another and it's simply not worth giving scalpers the time or money they're looking for by taking advantage of the situation.

PlayStation Portal: FAQ
When will PlayStation Portal stock return?
Sony was confident that more PlayStation Portal stock would be available in 'early December' across the US. We have seen several stores offering new units in the last couple of days, but these drops are particularly fleeting. Until the holidays are over, we would expect this stock drought to continue, relenting in the first couple of months of 2024.
What is the PlayStation Portal price?
The PlayStation Portal price is $199.99 / £199.99 / AU$329.95.
Should you buy a PlayStation Portal?
The PlayStation Portal is a pricey remote player, but if you regularly find yourself without rights to the TV in the evenings it could be a godsend. The tablet is wrapped by a DualSense controller giving you the full PS5 experience without having to take up the big screen, giving it a boost in functionality and ease of use over cheaper alternatives like the Backbone One mobile controller (and the phone you'll need to run it). However, the PlayStation Portal is only for those who already have a PS5 as it requires the console itself to do all the heavy lifting, simply casting the on-screen action to your Portal device. If you don't have a PS5, you shouldn't buy the PlayStation Portal.
We're also rounding up all the best PS5 accessories and plenty more PS5 deals if you're after console discounts and bundles.
