The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted directly from retailers. However, savvy gamers can now grab a used unit in Like New condition from Amazon Resale for just $148. This represents a significant 26% savings off the original retail price of $199. Although a Sony warranty may not be included, Amazon Resale offers the same reassuring 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity of this deal, stock is expected 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 PlayStation Portal is designed as an extension of the PS5, transforming it into a portable gaming device. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between what resembles a split DualSense controller. This setup 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 that stands in for the traditional touchpad. For those looking to game on the go, the Portal supports streaming outside your home, provided you have access to a stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Excitingly, Sony has recently updated the PlayStation Portal to allow streaming directly from their PlayStation Now cloud service, eliminating the need for a PS5. Subscribers to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus can now enjoy 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*, for just $18 a month—a much more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi, alternative methods exist. For instance, the PS Remote Play app can be downloaded on various mobile devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's signature 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."
