Pre-order PlayStation Portal - quick links (Image credit: Sony)US PlayStation Direct - $199.99 UK Game - £199.99 PlayStation Direct - £199.99 There's still stock floating about at retailers and Sony itself if you're still looking to pre-order PlayStation Portal. However, stock has been wildly fluctuating in recent weeks and days with only PlayStation Direct being the mainstay on both sides of the Atlantic - however, with units appearing out of nowhere regularly throughout the working day, it's worth keeping tabs on all of the potential sources. 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. I'm incredibly excited about it and it's going to be perfect for my life from a use-case perspective. Also, given its form factor, having been designed around a DualSense controller it's going to be brilliant for me, and others, from an accessibility perspective - I don't even care that it's not got Bluetooth, given what it'll offer me. Aside from the upcoming Black Friday gaming deals and Black Friday PS5 deals, a PlayStation Portal pre-order could be one of the most exciting acquisitions that fans can make in the run-up to the holidays - but it's getting harder to nail down your PS Portal pre-order as the device has proved popular and stock is down to just a few retailers. With stock fluctuating wildly, we recommend you keep checking all these links and retailers too if your head is turned in this last week before the device's launch. If you're still on the fence and need some help working out whether the device is for you still, then check out our guide to should you buy a PlayStation Portal, as well as our PlayStation Portal vs Backbone One comparison.

Where to pre-order PlayStation Portal - US Pre-order at PlayStation Direct - $199.99 The official PlayStation Direct storefront has remained well stocked since the Portal's announcement it seems, so this is still a good bet for placing a pre-order.View Deal Pre-order at Amazon - $199.99 (currently out of stock) 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 Pre-order at Walmart- $199.99 (currently out of stock) Up until very recently, this was the retailer to have stock in 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 Pre-order at Best Buy - $199.99 (currently out of stock) Best Buy also had stock levels go up and down in the past couple of weeks, and given that said stock can depend on where you live, it's a good idea to keep this one regularly refreshed.View Deal Pre-order at Newegg - $199.99 (currently out of stock) 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.
