The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted directly from new, but you can now save on a used one. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, is currently offering PlayStation Portals in "Used: Like New" condition for just $156.02 shipped. This represents a significant 20% savings off the original retail price of $199. While a Sony warranty may not be included, Amazon Resale items still come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.

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

The PS Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen and resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. The Portal incorporates all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. For remote play outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently introduced a feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This new option grants access to 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 per month—a much more affordable alternative to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth mentioning that you can also stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup is more complicated and lacks 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 offers a far superior experience compared to using a phone with a clip-on controller. It provides the freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi, which is especially useful when the TV is occupied by others playing on the Switch. Despite its reliance on a PS5 and some limitations like the lack of web browser login for WiFi and Bluetooth audio support, the Portal is the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play. If not for these minor issues, it would be a must-have for any PS5 owner interested in handheld gaming."
