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

PlayStation Portal

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

The unit looks and functions as if it were brand new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.

The PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen sandwiched between what resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, complete with the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While it requires a very stable and fast internet connection, the PS Portal can be used outside your home. However, it's important to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access 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 a PS5. To utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is 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."
