The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted, but you can now snag a used one at a great price. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $156.02 shipped. With its original retail price of $199, that's a significant 20% savings. While a Sony warranty may not be included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.

The PS Portal, a handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. It retains the DualSense's features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the touchpad. The Portal allows streaming from your PS5 even when away from home, provided you have a stable, high-speed internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has updated the device to support direct streaming from its PlayStation Now cloud service, expanding your gaming options beyond your PS5. With this new feature, you can access over 120 games, including hits like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To utilize this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the premium tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more appealing option than purchasing a $500 console plus additional game costs.
While the PS Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi, you can also use the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting up these alternatives can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations in the most surprising way. It's a far superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller, and it functions much better than I anticipated. I appreciate the freedom it offers to play my PS5 games from anywhere with a decent Wi-Fi connection, which is especially handy when my family is using the TV for other games. While it's not a standalone device and absolutely requires a PlayStation 5 to operate, the Portal's main drawbacks are its inability to connect to Wi-Fi networks that need a web browser login and the lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, it's currently the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play, making it an essential accessory for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
