"Save $50 on Used PlayStation Portal: New Price Drop on Amazon"

If you've been eyeing the PlayStation Portal but balking at the price, here's a deal that might catch your eye. Amazon Resale (formerly known as Amazon Warehouse) currently has Used: Like New condition PS Portals available for only $150.23, shipped. Originally priced at $199 new, this represents a 25% savings, making it a great opportunity to snag this coveted device at a reduced cost. Note that while a Sony warranty may or may not be included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity of this item, we anticipate it will 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 elongated DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the middle. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming unit by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that takes the place of the DualSense's touchpad. The Portal allows for streaming games outside your home, provided you have access to a **very stable, very fast** internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can bypass the need for a $500 console and instead access 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. To utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which is a more cost-effective option at $18 a month compared to the upfront cost of a PS5 and additional game purchases.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't your only option for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complicated, and you might 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."
