The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted since its release. However, you can now snag a fantastic deal on a used unit. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $149.88 shipped. This represents a significant 25% savings off the original retail price of $199. 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 anticipate a quick sell-out.

The PlayStation Portal is designed like an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a handheld gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the touchpad. While it can stream games even when you're away from home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Excitingly, Sony has recently introduced a feature that allows PlayStation Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service without needing a PS5. By connecting to Sony's cloud servers, users can access 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 costs $18 a month—a far more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
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 functionality by downloading 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 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."
