Some of you, like the Tech team at RadioTimes.com, may be old enough to remember the PSP, or PlayStation Portable, which came out in the early 2000s (aka, the dim and distant past).

Well now our lives have gone full circle as the brand new PlayStation Portal came out this week.

This new device is similar to its ancient ancestor (and the slightly more recent PS Vita), in that it’s a small hand-held console packed with PlayStation games. However the main difference is, this time, you can only use it to play games that you have already bought on your PS5, and yes, you do need to own a PS5 to be able to use it.

You can read all about the different features and specifications of this new device in our PlayStation Portal release date page, but now, what we’re really interested in is price.

The PlayStation Portal has gone on sale for £199.99. But, it is Black Friday after all, so we’re giving you our predictions on whether we’ll see a reduction in cost or any bundles popping up over the next few weeks.

Plus, despite only coming out yesterday (15th November) the PlayStation Portal has already sold out across multiple retailers. So, we’ll be giving you a big long list of shops to try so you can get your hands on one before it disappears again.

So without further ado, here’s what you can expect for the PlayStation Portal this Black Friday.

We’ve also recently asked these questions about other devices like, will there be Meta Quest 3 Black Friday deals and will there be Stream Deck Black Friday deals?

Where can I buy the new PlayStation Portal?

The PlayStation Portal is being sold across most of the major gaming and tech retailers such as Currys and Argos, as well as the PlayStation Store itself obviously.

To help you track one down, here’s a list of the many retailers you can buy from. Once you find one, we suggest you don’t hesitate because this baby is going fast!

Will there be any PlayStation Portal deals this Black Friday?

As the PlayStation Portal is brand-new – and already running out of stock, we might add – it’s unlikely that PlayStation will feel the need to run a major offering. The first few weeks after a device release usually see either one big deal coming out to incentivise people to buy, or nothing at all.

But, that doesn’t mean we won’t see some good bundles popping up, either with games, accessories, or maybe even in combination with the PS5 itself.

And, even if we don’t see any deals on the console itself, you can still grab a great bargain on some of the PS5’s biggest games this year. For instance, we’ve seen a 16% discount on Hogwarts Legacy, a 36% saving on Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, and £10 off Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

The PlayStation Portal keeps running out of stock faster than the RadioTimes.com staff can get to the front of a buffet queue. But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few alternative consoles to grab this Black Friday.

So, we’ve put together a few alternative games consoles that you might want to consider.
