Used PlayStation Portal Now $50 Off on Amazon: New Price Drop

The PlayStation Portal has never seen an official discount—until now, at least in the used market. Amazon Resale, essentially a rebranded Amazon Warehouse, is offering a **Used: Like New** PlayStation Portal for just **$150.23 shipped**, down from its original retail price of $199. That’s a solid **25% savings** on a device that continues to generate buzz among PS5 owners. While it's unclear whether a Sony warranty is included, these units do come with Amazon’s standard 30-day return policy—offering peace of mind similar to buying new. Given the demand, we expect this deal to disappear quickly.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s dedicated handheld streaming device designed specifically for remote play with the PS5. It resembles a split-pad DualSense controller with an integrated **8-inch 1080p LCD screen**, delivering gameplay streamed directly from your PS5 console at up to **60fps**. The device mirrors all key features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a full touchscreen replacing the traditional touchpad. And while it requires a strong and stable internet connection, especially when used remotely, the experience feels surprisingly smooth—even outside your home network.

Big update: You no longer need a PS5 to use the PlayStation Portal. Sony has expanded its capabilities by enabling direct streaming via the **PlayStation Now cloud service**. This opens up access to over 120 titles, including hits like *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Resident Evil 3 Remake*, *The Last of Us Part 1*, and *Spider-Man: Miles Morales*. However, this feature requires a subscription to the top tier of **PlayStation Plus**, currently priced at **$18/month**—a much more accessible entry point than investing $500+ in a PS5 and additional game purchases.

It’s important to note that the PlayStation Portal isn’t the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi. You can also use the **PS Remote Play app** on mobile devices or even on other handhelds like the Steam Deck. But those alternatives are often clunky, harder to set up, and lack full DualSense integration. The Portal delivers a seamless, native experience tailored for PS5 players looking for flexibility without compromise.

"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating."

- Seth Macy, IGN Review

Despite its strengths, the Portal does have a few limitations. It lacks Bluetooth audio support and cannot connect to public Wi-Fi networks requiring web-based login. Still, for any PS5 owner who values portable play or shares a TV with family members, the PlayStation Portal remains the best-in-class solution for remote gaming—especially now that you can get one used for less than ever before.

DualSense Controllers Also on Sale

Lenovo is offering several color variants of the **Sony PS5 DualSense controller** at a heavily discounted rate: choose from **Sterling Silver**, **Volcanic Red**, or **Cobalt Blue** for just **$54.00 with free shipping** when you apply coupon code PLAY5 at checkout. This is a rare opportunity to grab a premium-colored DualSense controller at a price lower than what was offered during Black Friday sales. Supplies are expected to deplete fast, so act quickly if you're interested.
