"Save $40 on Used PlayStation Portal: Like New, Only on Amazon"

The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never seen a discount on its new price of $199. However, savvy gamers can now snag a used model in "Like New" condition from Amazon Resale for just $158.70 shipped, marking a significant 20% saving. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty may vary, rest assured that Amazon Resale's 30-day return policy remains intact, akin to purchasing a brand-new item. Given its popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.

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

PlayStation Portal

$199.99 save 21% $158.70 at Amazon Used: Like New Condition

This device, though showing moderate packing damage upon inspection, looks and functions as if it were new. The PS Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming experience, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between what appears to be an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It supports streaming games from your console at up to 60fps, complete with the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. To use it 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 function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a game-changing feature, allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can dive into a vast library of 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 needing a PS5. To access this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, offers a more budget-friendly alternative to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. The PS Remote Play app, available on various mobile devices and gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, offers a similar experience, albeit with a more complex setup and without some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal has transformed my skepticism into admiration. It's a far superior experience to using a phone with an attached controller, and it performs much better than expected. The freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi coverage is a game-changer, especially when the TV is occupied. However, it's not a standalone device; you absolutely need a PS5. The current limitations include the lack of WiFi access requiring a web browser login and no Bluetooth audio support. Despite these, the Portal is the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if not for these quirks, it would be an essential device for every PS5 owner who enjoys handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
