PlayStation Portal stock tracker: how to find the next drop

Amazon
Amazon has seen actual PlayStation Portal stock this week, and it held out for longer than a few minutes. Admittedly, only a little longer, but it's still well worth checking in here.

Best Buy
Best Buy has been incredibly active over the last couple of days, flashing stock on and off the shelves rapidly. Things move just as fast here, but you could get lucky if you check back regularly - especially in the morning. 

GameStop
GameStop is currently showing an 'Add to Cart' option, but is failing when we attempt. That's still a boost on yesterday's out of stock message, though, so we'd recommend keeping a close eye on this one today. GameStop had a strong allocation of PlayStation Portal units from release day, and they held out for a significant amount of time. Like other retailers these shelves are bare for now, but check back regularly.

Walmart
Walmart started out with a pretty good supply of PlayStation Portal devices, but that quickly dwindled towards the weekend as other stores ran out. We'd recommend Walmart Plus members keep a close eye here, as the store has been known to offer private stock drops for these customers during major sales in the past.

Please note we have started seeing third party sellers listing PlayStation Portals on Walmart's site, with incredibly inflated price tags - don't buy them, they're not worth it.

PlayStation Direct
If you want to head straight to the source you'll be going to Sony's PlayStation Direct page. Stock is also out here at the moment, but there was a clue that more could be coming in "early December". We're past that deadline now, so we'd recommend keeping a close eye out here.

Amazon
We have also seen flashes of stock at Amazon UK over the last couple of days, though you had to be quick to grab it. While things are out at the moment, there's always another chance of a drop.

Argos - Check postcode
Argos is allowing us to add the PlayStation Portal to cart, but offering no collection options right now. It's well worth checking your delivery postcode, though, as your local depot could have had an influx. Argos has been fairly active over the weekend, offering fleeting chances to buy PlayStation Portal. However, that stock is assigned by post code.

Currys
Currys had new PlayStation Portal stock as recently as the morning of December 8. As with all these stores, though, we'd recommend keeping a close eye out.

Very
Very repeatedly offered PS5 stock when no other retailer did back in the day, which means we're hopeful for more options on the PlayStation Portal here this week. If stock does appear, it might be worth buying a bundle - this is usually how we see this particular retailer holding onto stock for longer. It throws in extras on top of the price tag to scare away scalpers.

Game
Game is a specialist site, so it's potentially working harder than others to secure more PlayStation Portal stock. We'd keep checking back here regularly, especially if you're a rewards member - though if stock appears in multiple places it's worth noting that delivery is particularly pricey here.

PlayStation Direct
PlayStation Direct takes things straight to the source, so this could be where that first round of new PlayStation Portal stock begins. This is where we saw that notice of more units being available on November 22, but that message was been removed yesterday morning.
