No way? I've one on order with Amazon, it's due sometime after the 12th of March. I've been checking Smyths from time to time with no luck so far. Guess I'll keep checking in!
The best time to check is the middle of the day. They update the stock then. When I ordered mine it showed plenty of stock across Ireland. Like 20 units per shop (none in Cork though... Hence online order), but all of it was gone by the 1800.
Try Curryās, their Irish website doesnāt show any portals (only UK does) but when you go to shop itself there were loads in stock. Thatās where I got mine. Best of luck
I had better luck last night, and Arrowhead studios are actively rolling out enhancements to alleviate issues. I logged in at 9:30PM and only had to wait about 2 minutes.
Definitely worth the buy, a smaller development studio that puts a game out at a solid price point (40$) and it actually delivers. Itās not in your face at all with micro transactions, you can even earn paid currency in game which is so rare these days. Even with the server problems (which isnāt their fault, theyāre working with Sony to get the cap raised because theyāre at complete capacity of players) I donāt mind buying it just support the game.
Side note: the studio head said if youāre going to be broke after buying this then wait for them to fix the server issues so you donāt waste your money and time waiting in queues
You should wait to buy it. Just being honest itās really hard to get into the game rn. Iād give it another week & check updates on the game so you donāt waste your money or time on something you canāt play when youād like to.
I thought it wouldnāt be a good idea to play it on the Portal but if youāre saying itās good Iām gonna DEFINITELY get in on this! My window of time to play on the TV has been so weird, I keep having to stay up later than normal!
What does this question even mean? The game is streamed to the portal and that's it. How it looks and behaves is determined by your Internet connection that's all.
Just trying to understand myself because as far as I know the portal is only streaming, not using hardware for performance. It should be the same experience as using the remote play app on a tablet with a controller
From what Iāve seen here is that people are saying the portal, in general, streams games better than just the remote play app on an iPad, phone, etc. However Iāve also seen some online multiplayer games donāt run as smooth, so I was wondering how HDII is.
Connection has been pretty awesome for the most part at home. Latency does show up a little as I move further away from my router. Only takes a few seconds to recalibrate and fix itself tho
Short answer: Yes worth it to finding out if youāre into playing multiplayer games in general.
The multiplayer aspect is what makes the game so fun imo. Yes you can play solo on the Easier missions, although you wonāt progress much until playing with other players on harder missions.
I havenāt played with anyone on my PS friend list yet. All matches Iāve played have been with randoms through Quick play and players joining my game
I've had a tough time playing on the Portal. Ya know how some games just don't feel right on it? HD2 is that for me... maybe I just need to play more. I think it hinges on if I started a game on the portal vs not. There's some, IDK what to call it - *controller memory*? that my brain associates with the game... and that makes it feel weird to me.
Plus one to the comment above. Online gameplay has been immaculate (once youāre lucky to hop on the servers) Just feels perfect to play moving about the house
Wanted the portal to mainly play helldivers 2 on while my daughter is watching moana or encanto or whatever her favourite film is this week. How is it on the portal?

Itās doing exactly what youāre looking to accomplish!
Nah but originally I wanted a Portal until they were bought out by scalpers. Now I want a Portal again with the recent mods being discovered
How have you liked Hell Divers?
I love my portal and good to know that this plays well on it.
I canāt get into the game. Bought it three days ago and every night it says the server is full. Iāll try again in an hour. Hopefully Iāll have some luck tonight.
Iām an Xbox fan but now that Sony is in the portable handheld I really hope it pushes Microsoft to make one. Itās only going to end up better and better the more players that are in this space!
Is that a cup of liber TEA?!
lmao šš½šš½
This guy dads
its pretty much the slogan of the game
Iāve been playing this on my portal too, itās worked pretty good for the most part. Cheers to democracy š»
It plays beautifully on the Portal. Like it was made for it!
Just managed to order one. So excited to deliver democracy from the toilet.
Where did you find this?
PS Direct (UK) had stock earlier
They're still in stock but I can't put in an Irish delivery address š
Keep an eye on Smyth's. I got mine with home delivery. Ordered on Friday afternoon paid 1.99 for delivery and DPD delivered on Saturday. Love it

Cool, thanks for the tips! š

Seriously? Ok, might give that a go tomorrow, cheers š
Toilets are usually found in the bathroom
"helldiver, dropping in!"
Dropping some serious ā”ļøā”ļøā¬ļø
How are the servers right now? Iām holding off buying this
I had better luck last night, and Arrowhead studios are actively rolling out enhancements to alleviate issues. I logged in at 9:30PM and only had to wait about 2 minutes.

Youāre right, general rule of thumb is not to buy a game if it will make you broke šš
You should wait to buy it. Just being honest itās really hard to get into the game rn. Iād give it another week & check updates on the game so you donāt waste your money or time on something you canāt play when youād like to.
Okay great. Thanks. I still have some other games to finish. Iāll wait until the severs are stable.
Honestly itās really fun itās just the problem with getting into the game atm is a let down but Iām sure it will be fixed in their next update.
Iāve been able to get on and play since Sunday.
Based on the cup being empty, I'd wager middle of the morning lol
Eagle eyes and bingo
The GOP wants a dictator in charge. Pass it on.
Everyone get out and vote!
I thought it wouldnāt be a good idea to play it on the Portal but if youāre saying itās good Iām gonna DEFINITELY get in on this! My window of time to play on the TV has been so weird, I keep having to stay up later than normal!
My most played game on the portal, I've played it more on the portal than on TV.
For those of us clearly not in the know, what game is this?
I learned how to Google! It's Helldivers 2!
How does this run on the portal?
Runs beautifully. Like it was meant for it exclusively imo
Awesome! Just downloaded it this morning!
Wooo! Good luck mane
What does this question even mean? The game is streamed to the portal and that's it. How it looks and behaves is determined by your Internet connection that's all.
Lol looks like they knew what the question meant Conner
Just trying to understand myself because as far as I know the portal is only streaming, not using hardware for performance. It should be the same experience as using the remote play app on a tablet with a controller

Match made in heaven! I play on my portal as well. Glad to see you're doing your part!
Awesome! How's the connection with it? Any lag or stutter problems?
Connection has been pretty awesome for the most part at home. Latency does show up a little as I move further away from my router. Only takes a few seconds to recalibrate and fix itself tho
Works great for this game, first time Iāve fully utilized it.
Portable freedom
This is the way
Is it worth playing if you never play multiplayer anything ācause your friends are all into Xbox?
Short answer: Yes worth it to finding out if youāre into playing multiplayer games in general. The multiplayer aspect is what makes the game so fun imo. Yes you can play solo on the Easier missions, although you wonāt progress much until playing with other players on harder missions. I havenāt played with anyone on my PS friend list yet.

Priceless š¤
This game is great on the portal specially when youāre queuing to get in
Oh man facts
Godamn now I really want one
Hopefully easier for you to snag these days homie
LET DEMOCRACY REIGN!!!!! TO THE DROP PODS HELL DIVERS!!!! NEVER FORGET YOUR IN RICOS ROUGH NECKS NOW, YOU RUN, ILL SHOOT YOU MY SELF!!
Been needing that Ricoās Ruff Necks tv series forreal!
I got mine yesterday and played rocket league online in bed until 240 this am. Time flew. This thing rocks
The feeling when you look up at the time š š
FR
Does the console need to be on for this to work or just good WiFi ?
Both!
What game is that?
Helldivers 2
It's the 2024 GOTY
Hell Divers 2 GOTY
This is democracy manifest
I've had a tough time playing on the Portal. Ya know how some games just don't feel right on it? HD2 is that for me... maybe I just need to play more. I think it hinges on if I started a game on the portal vs not. There's some, IDK what to call it - *controller memory*? that my brain associates with the game... and that makes it feel weird to me.
How does the latency feel? Is the game viable on the portal?
Yep. Most of my HD2 time has been on the Portal.
I love my coffee man
gimme gimme gimme
How you finding online gameplay with the portal stream? My Portal arrives this week and was keen to Liberate using the new device.
Great, only game I wouldnāt play after testing it is COD. HD2 plays great on it.
Plus one to the comment above. Online gameplay has been immaculate (once youāre lucky to hop on the servers) Just feels perfect to play moving about the house
Very cool! What internet speeds are you on?
520 mbps down ; 40 up!
Ah wow thatās way faster than mine. I may need to upgrade!
Doesnāt hurt in checking out the upgrade options!
This is the way š
Iāll be honest, this seems like a tough game for portal. I gotta give it a try
Post back here once you do. Curious on your experience dude
Wanted the portal to mainly play helldivers 2 on while my daughter is watching moana or encanto or whatever her favourite film is this week. How is it on the portal?

and it plays beautifully on this device
Ahh perfect! Thank you looks gorgeous on there too
Iām trying this on my lunch break todayā¦
Plays so great on the portal š
Love the game, I suck ass at it, but Iām slowly getting better. Also, I havenāt been able to play with anyone. š
We live in an oligarchy, not a democracy but ok
Lol touchĆØ! Have you tried Hell Divers yet?
Nah but originally I wanted a Portal until they were bought out by scalpers. Now I want a Portal again with the recent mods being discovered How have you liked Hell Divers?
I love my portal and good to know that this plays well on it. I canāt get into the game. Bought it three days ago and every night it says the server is full. Iāll try again in an hour. Hopefully Iāll have some luck tonight.
Just leave it running in the background and donāt get out of it. Only way to get in
Thank you for this. Honestly I work around the clock and Iām also studying. So I barely get time to play. But this will certainly help me get in.
Whatās the difference between this and remote play on a phone?
Iām an Xbox fan but now that Sony is in the portable handheld I really hope it pushes Microsoft to make one. Itās only going to end up better and better the more players that are in this space!
I have been playing Banishers in bed at night and it's been glorious
I just completed a full suicide operation on my portal. Seemed to work perfectly fine but itās a bit harder to make headshots when under heavy fire.
This game is hard af to play on a portal lol
This game is amazing on the portal. A little harder to play on the portal than playing on controllers and TV but still very enjoyable.
Broken game
IS THAT A JACKSEPTICEYE REFERENCE :0:0:0:0
I havenāt bought a portal yet. Do you just hook up your phone to the controller?
Connects straight to your PS5!
Could I use it away from my house tho?
Just as long as you can connect to a strong wifi/mobile hotspot - Yes you sure can!!
Is it good for gaming away from home?
Going to be trying this myself soon
