Exclusive Amazon Deal: Save $44 on Used, Like-New PlayStation Portal

If you're eyeing the PlayStation Portal but hesitant about its full retail price, there's good news: you can snag a used one at a discount. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in "Used: Like New" condition for just $156.02 shipped. Considering its regular price of $199, that's a solid 20% savings. While a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale items are covered by the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity of this deal, we expect these units to sell out quickly.

The item looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage was noted during inspection.

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The Portal retains the same haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and touchscreen interface as the DualSense controller. It's designed to stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature allowing users to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means Portal owners can now choose between connecting to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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. Note that to utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much 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 at home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**

"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations, turning skepticism into admiration. It offers a significantly better experience than using a phone with a clip-on controller and performs better than I had anticipated. The freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi coverage is a game-changer, especially when the TV is occupied. However, it's important to note that the Portal isn't a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function. The current limitations, such as the lack of WiFi login via a web browser and Bluetooth audio support, keep it from being perfect. Nonetheless, for PlayStation Remote Play, it's currently the best solution available, and I'd recommend it to any PS5 owner who enjoys handheld gaming or needs to share the TV."
