The PlayStation Portal is simply my favorite gaming and PS5 accessory, pretty much bar none - and I see a lot of hardware in my job.

And now, this Prime Day, you can share my passion for the Portal as Amazon has dropped the handheld device to its lowest ever at the retailer.

Cutting to it, the price of the Portal has dropped by £20 - that's a full 10 per cent - to just £179 at Amazon (was £199).

It's not a huge discount, I know, but the Portal has stubbornly held its price since it was launched nearly two years ago, so this is well worth taking note of among the wider Amazon Prime Day deals if you've been eyeing one up for yourself or as a gift.

Sadly, yes, this isn't a US saving - which have been even harder to come by. Having said that, if you don't mind going via Amazon Resale, you can get the Portal for as little as $124 at Amazon US right now. That's because the retailer is adding an extra 30% off select items for Prime members.

I cannot sing the PlayStation Portal's praises enough, and if you're anything like me in terms of being a big PS5 fan and player, and want another way to chip away at your backlog, then this is the perfect accessory to facilitate that. At this lowest-ever Amazon price, you really can't go wrong either.

Price check: £179 at Very | £179.99 at Very (Midnight Black) | £185 at AO | £199.99 at PS Direct | £199.99 at PS Direct (Midnight Black)

US price: $124 at Amazon (Amazon Resale) | $199 at Amazon | $199 at Walmart | $199 at Walmart (Midnight Black)

The PlayStation Portal has very much found its audience and niche since it was revealed, and it's maintained immense levels of popularity given what it can offer folks who have families, share the TV, or game on the go with reliable internet.

Given that its design is based around the DualSense Wireless Controller means it's got superb ergonomics and features by default, and makes for the perfectly designed backlog-breaking accessory if you've got a strong and stable internet connection.
