"Amazon Slashes Price of Like-New PlayStation Portal to $149.88"

The PlayStation Portal has never seen an official discount—until now, that is. While the brand-new price remains steady at $199, savvy shoppers can now grab a *Used: Like New* version for just **$149.88** shipped via Amazon Resale (formerly Amazon Warehouse). That’s a solid **25% savings**, and with Amazon’s standard 30-day return policy, you get nearly the same peace of mind as buying new. Keep in mind, however, that a Sony warranty may or may not be included depending on the unit. These are expected to fly off the virtual shelves quickly, so act fast if you’re interested.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld companion device designed specifically for PS5 owners. Essentially a dual-sided controller with an integrated 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, it allows you to stream your PS5 games remotely at up to 60 frames per second. It mirrors all the features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface replacing the traditional touchpad. With a strong and stable internet connection, you can even play while away from home—though remember, this device isn't standalone. It requires a PS5 connected remotely to function.

However, recent updates have expanded its functionality. You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has enabled cloud streaming via PlayStation Now, allowing access to over 120 titles such as *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Resident Evil 3 Remake*, *The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered*, and *Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales*. To use this feature, you must subscribe to the top-tier PlayStation Plus plan. At $18 per month, it's a much more budget-friendly alternative than purchasing a PS5 and full-priced games separately.

While you can technically replicate some of the Portal’s functionality using the PS Remote Play app on smartphones or other handhelds like the Steam Deck, those methods often involve more setup complexity and lack full support for DualSense features. The PlayStation Portal delivers a streamlined, optimized experience tailored for remote gameplay.

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."

In summary, the PlayStation Portal offers a unique and immersive way to enjoy your PS5 games beyond the living room. Whether you're looking to take advantage of local streaming or cloud gaming, it's currently the most refined option available for PS5 remote play. And with this latest used deal, it's more accessible than ever.
