LEGO 2K Goooal! Pops up on the PlayStation Store

PlayStation and Xbox probably won't be releasing their own handheld consoles anytime soon because, well, trying to compete with Nintendo in that arena would be ill-advised. PlayStation did just release the PlayStation Portal, though. A handheld device rather than a standalone console since it needs WiFi and to be paired to a PS5 in order to work. Seemingly something a lot of PS5 owners are in the market for as the Portal has been sold out in the US pretty much everywhere since release day.

I've been testing the PlayStation Portal, but since it's out of stock, I decided it was worthwhile re-exploring alternatives. So, following up on a previous project, I decided to transform the Logitech G Cloud into a makeshift handheld to see if it felt like an appropriate substitute. Now that I have the real deal to compare the handheld to, I'm pleased to say it's up to the task of providing a reliable PS Remote Play experience, and Cyber Monday is keeping it from returning to MSRP.

Black Friday is here, bringing sales for many games, consoles, peripherals and whatnot. Not every game is getting discounted, so it’s interesting to see the likes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 temporarily for less. It’s currently 15 percent off on both the Xbox and PlayStation Stores. Even Amazon has it for 14 percent off.

PlayStation Plus subscriptions and PlayStation Store gift cards are currently on sale for Black Friday.

Less than a week on from the release of PlayStation Portal, the handheld remote player has been surprisingly popular. Pre-orders for the device were difficult to find ahead of its launch, and stock of the Portal has been just as hard to track down now its out in the wild. If you've been considering caving to scalpers who have been selling them for twice the price, hold out a little longer. Stock of the Portal will be available in select regions starting this Wednesday, November 22, 2023.

Mortal Kombat 1 players are reporting that some bundles and skins in the Premium Store are displaying colour palettes and outfits that aren't even included as part of the purchase.

Video games can be expensive. We probably don’t have to tell you that. It’s a costly hobby, and with the latest generation of console platforms, we saw a price hike for AAA games. Instead of paying the once-standard $59.99 for a brand new AAA release, we’re not digging further into our wallets to pay the now $69.99 fee for a new major release. So, this recent price hike makes it more challenging to determine what video games to pick up at launch and which to set back for when they drop. Fortunately, sales are going on at any given time, and today, we want to highlight a big one for the PlayStation Store.
