"Save $50 on Used PlayStation Portal: New Price Drop on Amazon"
The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted before, but you can now snag a great deal on a used one. Amazon Resale, previously known as Amazon Warehouse, is currently offering Used: Like New condition PS Portals for just $150.23 shipped. This represents a significant 25% savings off the original retail price of $199. While a Sony warranty may not be included, you still benefit from Amazon's standard 30-day return policy, just as you would with a new purchase. Given the popularity of this item, we expect it to sell out quickly.
Update: The price has now dropped to $150.23, marking the lowest price we've seen for a Used: Like New unit.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming system, allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the Portal enables you to play outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 for use.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature that allows 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 use this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more affordable option than buying a $500 console plus additional game costs.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complicated, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique 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."
