The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted until now. You can snag a used one in "Like New" condition from Amazon Resale for just $158.70, shipped. This represents a significant 20% savings off the original $199 price tag. While a Sony warranty may not be included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.
PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

Original Price: $199.99

Condition: Used: Like New
The unit looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.
The PS Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you 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, without a PS5. To use this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a 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 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'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."
