"Save $40 on Used: Like New PlayStation Portal - Amazon Exclusive"
The PlayStation Portal has never seen an official discount, but that doesn't mean you can't still score a deal. Amazon Resale—formerly known as Amazon Warehouse—currently offers the Used: Like New condition PS Portal for just $158.70 with free shipping. Considering the standard retail price is $199, this represents a solid 20% in savings. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty may vary, all Amazon Resale items come backed by the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity of this device, we expect these listings to sell out quickly.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s dedicated handheld streaming device designed specifically for the PS5 console. At first glance, it resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between its two halves. This device allows you to stream your PS5 games at up to 60fps from anywhere, turning your console into a portable powerhouse. It mirrors all the key features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a responsive touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad.
Although originally limited to local streaming from a connected PS5, Sony has since expanded its capabilities. The latest update now enables users to stream directly from PlayStation Now cloud servers—no PS5 required. With this functionality, Portal owners gain access to a vast library of over 120 titles such as *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Resident Evil 3 Remake*, *The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered*, and *Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales*. However, access requires a subscription to the top tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a much more affordable option than investing $500 in a PS5 plus individual game purchases.
It's important to note that the PlayStation Portal is not a standalone gaming device. Unlike hybrid consoles like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, it relies entirely on a remote connection to either a PS5 or the PlayStation Cloud. Therefore, a stable and fast internet connection is essential for optimal performance. Additionally, while alternatives like the PS Remote Play app exist for mobile devices, they lack the seamless integration and full feature set offered by the Portal itself.
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."
