"Save $44 on Used PlayStation Portal at Amazon"

The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted directly from new stock, but savvy gamers can snag a deal on a used unit. Amazon Resale, previously known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in "Used: Like New" condition for just $156.02, including shipping. This represents a solid 20% discount off the original $199 price tag. While a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale items still come with the same reassuring 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated between the grips. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. For those on the go, the Portal can stream games outside your home, provided you have access to a robust and fast internet connection. However, remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out an exciting update, allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service without needing a PS5. This means you can now choose to connect the Portal to either your PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, unlocking a 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. Keep in mind, to access this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which, at $18 a month, is a more cost-effective option compared to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home, alternatives exist. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method involves more setup complexity and lacks 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."
