Retailing for $199.99 at Amazon and Target, the new PlayStation Portal is a handheld remote player for the PS5. While it may look like a Nintendo Switch or a SteamDeck, it’s not an independent gaming console. It’s a remote player that pairs with your PS5 and mirrors its games so you can play anywhere on the PS Portal when you’re on the same Wi-Fi network as your PS5. The PlayStation Portal comes in handy if, for example, you want to play the new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III in the bedroom while someone else is watching TV in the living room.
Please note: You need to own a PlayStation 5 to use the PlayStation Portal.

Sony PlayStation Portal
The new Sony handheld supports 60fps (Frames Per Second) at 1080p HD resolution gaming, while it has a sharp 8-inch LCD touchscreen display and DualSense wireless controller features, like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. In fact, it looks and feels exactly like the DualSense wireless controller that comes with the PS5 proper, only it’s split into two with a tabletlike display placed in the middle.
It comes with a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headphones. Unfortunately, there is no built-in Bluetooth. If you want to go wireless with a pair of headphones and earbuds or a gaming headset, you’d have to use the upcoming Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds (drops on Dec. 6 for $199.99) or Pulse Elite Headset (releases on Feb. 21, 2024, for $149.99) via Sony’s proprietary PlayStation Link connectivity standard.
The Sony PlayStation Portal comes out on Wednesday, Nov. 15. It’s available for $199.99 at Amazon and Target. In the meantime, watch a trailer for the new handheld, below.

From boots to booties and slippers, Uggs are insanely cute (and comfortable), but they might be a little too expensive for some shoppers. If you’re on a budget, you can find Ugg dupes for less than $50 at Amazon.
For example, this best-selling women’s slipper is a knockoff of the Ugg Tazz Slipper ($130). It looks nearly identical to the Tazz — at a fraction of the price.
The “comfy clog” as one shopper called it, is available in brown, beige and black, and you can wear it inside or outside. Similar to the Tazz, the slipper features a braided rib design, a tumbled leather upper- and a 1.5-inch platform sole.

The faux-fur slipper is lined with cozy material to keep your feet warm, dry, and comfortable in the cold weather. It’s available in sizes 5-10 but some of the customer reviews suggest sizing up for the better fit.
“Very comfortable for both indoor and outdoor,” reads one customer review. “They have similar quality but less expensive than famous brands. It will be perfect if they can arrive earlier.”
Another shopper wrote, “This platform slipper exceeded my expectations! Super soft and warm inside and definitely cute enough to wear out of the house!”
Amazon has a decent selection of Ugg slipper dupes, such as these $50 booties, which are similar to the Ugg Tasman Clipper ($109.95). The dupe is available in chestnut, beige and black.

Based on the reviews, shoppers love Carhartt beanies. From the “high quality” material to the warmth, comfort and even cuteness, shoppers made sure to note all of the great things about the beanie which scored a 4.8 out of 5 stars at Amazon and a whopping 152,698 customer ratings.
As one shopper wrote, “If you’ve ever owned a Carhartt product, you know exactly what you’re getting. It is functional, comfortable, and built to last. It is a simple, no frills, warm hat. If you have never owned anything by Carhartt, you are missing out, especially if you live where the weather gets bad in the winter. I hate buying things every two or three years because they wear out, and that does not happen with Carhartt.”
The holidays are coming up, so if you need a cheap gift, you can give a beanie away as a stocking stuffer, White Elephant gift or Christmas gift.
Looking for an even cheaper knit hat? The Timberland Short Watch Cap is on sale for $11.20 at Amazon (reg. $20). It comes in 18 different colors including black, orange, grape leaf, heather grey and wheat.
