"Save $40 on Used: Like New PlayStation Portal - Amazon Exclusive"

For the first time, you can snag a deal on the PlayStation Portal, albeit on a used model. Amazon Resale, previously known as Amazon Warehouse, is offering the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $158.70, including shipping. This represents a 20% savings off the regular price of $199. While a Sony warranty isn't guaranteed, all Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new products. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.

The item looks and functions as if it were brand new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. The controller incorporates all the features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. You can even use the Portal outside your home, provided you have access to a robust and stable internet connection. However, remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Update: Exciting news for Portal owners - you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy gaming on the go. Sony has rolled out a new feature allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service. This means you can access over 120 games, including hits 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'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a much more affordable option than investing in a $500 console and additional game purchases.

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 results by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting up the app 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 is an unexpectedly delightful device. Initially skeptical, I found it to be a significantly better experience than using a phone with an attached controller. The freedom to play my PS5 games from anywhere with a good Wi-Fi signal, especially when the TV is occupied by others playing on the Switch, is truly liberating. However, it's important to remember that the Portal isn't a standalone unit and requires a PlayStation 5 to operate. The device's main drawbacks are its inability to connect to Wi-Fi that requires a web browser login and the lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, the PlayStation Portal is the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play and is a must-have for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
