The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, is now available at a discount through Amazon Resale. You can snag a Used: Like New condition PS Portal for just $158.70, down from its regular retail price of $199. This represents a significant 20% savings. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty is uncertain, Amazon Resale items are backed by the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.

PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99
Discount: 21%
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New

This device, despite showing moderate packing damage during inspection, looks and functions as if it were brand new. The PS Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, replicating the DualSense's features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. It's important to note that the PS Portal requires a very stable and fast internet connection, especially for streaming games outside your home. However, it is not a standalone device; you need a PS5 to use it.

Update: A recent development means you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has enabled a feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now, their cloud streaming service. This opens up 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 access 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 purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

While the PS Portal is excellent for streaming PS5 games within your home, you can also achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup might be more complex and lacks some of the DualSense's 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."
