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

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New

This device, despite moderate packing damage observed during inspection, functions and looks as good as new. The PS Portal, a handheld accessory for the PS5, 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 replicates the DualSense's features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen in place of the traditional touchpad. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have a robust and fast internet connection. However, it's important to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; you must own a PS5 to use it.

Update: A recent update means you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has enabled streaming directly 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. To access this feature, you'll need a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is a more budget-friendly option compared to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

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

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:

"The PlayStation Portal is an unexpectedly delightful device. Initially skeptical, I found it offers a vastly superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller. It's perfect for playing my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi, especially when the TV is occupied by family playing the Switch. The main limitations are the lack of access to WiFi that requires a web browser login and no Bluetooth support for audio. Despite these, it's the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play and a must-have for PS5 owners who want handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
