Sony’s portable “console”, the PlayStation Portal, allows you to connect via Wi-Fi to your PlayStation 5, and to play on an 8-inch LCD screen surrounded by a DualSense controller that is somehow cut into two.

But this console (or rather this accessory, because the Portal is nothing other than a tool to access the Remote Play function of the PS5), may not be available in stores as the games approach. holidays. And for good reason, for the past week, she has been the victim of a practice called scalping. Like the PlayStation 5 was at the time.

Concretely, malicious people jump on available stocks in order to empty store shelves. Then, they turn to online resale platforms to increase the price of the Portal, and pocket a few hundred euros in the process. Some Portals on sale by these scalpers can reach 500 euros, which is more than double the price charged by Sony, namely 219.99 euros.

If you hope to place a Portal under the tree, we advise you to monitor the stocks of your favorite stores, or to reserve it in order to pay the right price, and obtain it before the rush at the end of December.
