PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160
PlayStation Portal
Original Price: $199.99 | Discounted Price: $158.70 | Savings: 21%
Condition: Used: Like New
The unit looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage was noted during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. It mirrors the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has expanded its capabilities, allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service. This means Portal owners can now choose between connecting to their PS5 or directly to Sony’s cloud servers, unlocking 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 utilize this feature, you need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which is a more budget-friendly option at $18 a month compared to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth mentioning that you can also stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi 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 of the DualSense's advanced 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."
