PlayStation Portal Goes Up in Price Tomorrow, But Amazon Has It for Just £150 in the UK
PlayStation Portal's RRP is jumping up to £219.99 from April 2, 2026. That's a £20 increase, which isn't as bad as the $50 increase it's seeing in the US, but still not particularly fab. But, if you're speedy enough, Amazon UK is currently selling the PlayStation Portal for just £148.76 as part of its Amazon Resale marketplace.These are "Used - Like New" models, in which the only issue will be that the packaging is slightly damaged. Do not fear this - there are absolutely no issues or damage to the tech you're buying.You're saving over £50 if you're buying before the price hikes, and over £70 once they officially hit. If you're looking to save as much as possible when picking up the PS Portal, this is the best deal going right now online.It's not the only piece of Sony's PlayStation hardware getting a price increase, either. PS5 consoles, including the disc, digital, and Pro editions, will all be much more expensive from April 2.Buying one of these right now, especially if you can find it on sale, is actually not a bad shout at all. In fact, a standout deal at Argos right now is on the PlayStation 5 Pro. It's dropped to £639.99, which is £60 off the previous £699.99 RRP, and £150 off its new £789.99 price. If you've even been slightly considering picking this console up, I'd drop the cash on it ASAP.

You can preorder the Collector's Edition over on Amazon right now for about $65, which includes an exclusive booklet, three sets of sticker sheets, and plenty of behind-the-scenes bonus features to keep you entertained ahead of Season 3's expected release in 2027. As one of IGN's runner-ups for Best Anime Series of 2025, Dan Da Dan is definitely worth your time if you haven't given it a watch yet.Check out the full rundown below for where you can preorder the upcoming Season 2 Collector's Edition, what's included, benefits of owning the physical version versus streaming, and where both seasons are currently available to stream.Where to Buy the Dan Da Dan Season 2 Collector's EditionThe Dan Da Dan Season 2 Collector's Edition Blu-ray is currently available to preorder on Amazon for $64.98, with a release date of July 14. You can also get it for a little bit cheaper at the Crunchyroll store, but only Amazon has the preorder price guarantee.We gave the first three episodes of Season 2 an 8/10 in our review, saying it "picks up without missing a beat. Coming off of season 1’s wild cliffhanger, these first three episodes deliver on a highly anticipated storyline with menacing characters and an emotional throughline."What's Included in the Collector's Edition?Much like Season 1's Collector's Edition, the Dan Da Dan Season 2 Collector's Edition includes plenty of physical and digital goodies for you to enjoy, including:a 76-page booklet3 sticker sheets featuring characters and villainsBehind the scenes with the Director, including scene breakdownsA meet the filmmakers segmentAudio commentaries and commemorative interviews from the seriesUpcoming teasers and trailersOpening & ending credits scenesBuy or Stream - Which is Better?Like most physical media, owning something is a matter of personal preference.

It's the only way you'll get access to the exclusive items inside.However, if you only intend to watch Dan Da Dan once before moving on, or aren't sure if you'll like the second season, then streaming is a much cheaper barrier to entry.

It is also available globally as part of the Netflix catalog.In some regions (like the U.S.), both seasons of Dan Da Dan are available to stream on Hulu, as well, in both subbed and dubbed formats.Matthew Adler has written for IGN since 2019 covering all things gaming, tech, tabletop games, and more.
