PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160
PlayStation Portal
Original Price: $199.99
Discount: 21%
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New
Despite minor packing damage, the PS Portal looks and functions as if it were brand new. Designed to resemble an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, this device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming machine. It supports streaming games from your console at up to 60fps, complete with all the DualSense features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. However, remember that the PS Portal requires a very stable and fast internet connection, especially for streaming outside your home. It’s not 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. This means 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, without needing a PS5. To enjoy this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
While the PS Portal is a great way to stream PS5 games within your home, you can achieve similar functionality with the PS Remote Play app on other devices like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique 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 (somewhat ironically) 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."
