The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted—until now. You can now snag a used but in "Like New" condition PS Portal from Amazon Resale for just $158.70, shipped. Normally priced at $199 new, this deal saves you a solid 20%. While a Sony warranty might not be guaranteed, rest assured that Amazon Resale offers the same reassuring 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will fly off the shelves quickly.

The unit may exhibit minor packing damage, but it looks and functions as if it were brand new.
The PlayStation Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the DualSense's features, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes the DualSense's touchpad. While it can stream games outside your home, a very stable, very fast internet connection is crucial. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's a remote player that requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play 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 enjoy this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more appealing option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games.
It's worth noting that while the PS Portal offers a convenient way to stream PS5 games within your home, the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, can achieve similar results. However, setup is more complex, and you'll miss out on some DualSense features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:
"The PlayStation Portal surprised me in the best way possible. Initially skeptical, I found it to be a far better experience than using a phone with an attachable controller. It's incredibly user-friendly and provides the freedom to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent Wi-Fi. It's perfect for when the TV is occupied, especially amusingly by others playing the Switch. However, it's not a standalone device; you need a PlayStation 5 to use it. The Portal's potential is slightly hampered by its current inability to connect to Wi-Fi networks that require a web browser login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these quirks, it's an excellent solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if not for these issues, it would be a must-own for any PS5 owner keen on handheld gaming or battling for TV time at home."
