"Save $40 on Used Like-New PlayStation Portal - Amazon Exclusive"

The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted before, but you can now snag a used one at a great price. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, is currently offering the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $158.70, including shipping. This is a significant 20% savings off the original retail price of $199. While it's unclear if a Sony warranty is included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the demand, we expect these to sell out quickly.

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

$199.99 save 21% $158.70 at Amazon Used: Like New Condition

Despite moderate packing damage observed during inspection, the device looks and functions as if it were new.

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains the same features as the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the Portal can stream games outside your home, it requires a **very stable and fast** internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, meaning you need a PS5 to use it.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a new feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5. Portal users can now choose to connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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 at $18 a month, is a more cost-effective option than purchasing a PS5 and additional 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, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complicated, and you'll miss out on some DualSense 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."
