PlayStation Portal Price Slashed: Save $50 on Amazon's Like New Model

The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld accessory for the PS5, has never seen a direct discount, but you can snag a significant deal on a used one. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $150.23, shipped. This represents a substantial 25% savings off the original retail price of $199. While a Sony warranty may or may not be included, you still benefit from Amazon's standard 30-day return policy for new items. Given the popularity of this deal, we expect these units to sell out quickly.

Update: The price has now dropped to $150.23, marking the lowest price we've seen for a Used: Like New PlayStation Portal.

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

The PlayStation Portal is designed to enhance your PS5 gaming experience by turning it into a handheld device. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen sandwiched between what resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. This device allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, complete with the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games 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 introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5. This gives you 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 use this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a far more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that the PS Portal isn't the only option for streaming your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by using 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 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."
