The PlayStation Portal, a groundbreaking handheld gaming accessory for PS5 users, has never been offered at a discount until now. You can snag a used, yet in "Like New" condition, PS Portal from Amazon Resale for just $156.02, including shipping. This represents a significant 20% savings off the original $199 retail price. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty isn't guaranteed, you're covered by Amazon's 30-day return policy, similar to buying new. Given the popularity of this deal, stock is expected to deplete rapidly.

The PS Portal, designed by Sony, essentially transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between what resembles an elongated split-pad DualSense controller. With the ability to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, it replicates the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and replaces the touchpad with a touchscreen interface. It's crucial to have a robust and fast internet connection for optimal performance, particularly when streaming games outside your home. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone unit; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing direct streaming from their PlayStation Now cloud service, expanding your gaming library to over 120 titles, including hits like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This option requires a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, costing $18 a month, a more budget-friendly alternative to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.
It's worth noting that while the PlayStation Portal offers a unique streaming experience, you can achieve similar functionality within your home using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex and lacks some of the DualSense's 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."
