PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New

The PlayStation Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a handheld gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It mirrors the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games outside your home, you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; you'll need a PS5 to use it.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, providing access to over 120 games, including titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To access this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a more attractive option than purchasing a $500 console plus additional game costs.

It's worth noting that you can also stream your PS5 games within your home using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup is more complex and lacks some DualSense features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:

"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. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
