Definitely a must get item. Very convenient when going away for work or long family trips. Never had an issue with the PlayStation Portable

This device is AMAZING. Literal game changer (for people like me). If your tv is in use constantly by other family members, this is perfect for you! For me, I actually prefer playing on handhelds vs big screen tvs, not sure why, they make me tired really quick.
Connection is perfectly fine in house, no issues, and no issues connecting to my hotspot and playing that way as well (using t-mobile).
Not to mention, I had 2 ps5s in the home before I got this, and I am able to connect to either one to play the games, I love it!
I now game on this more than the tv and it is by CHOICE!

I was suprise how well it plays. While i remote play from my PS5 PRO or stream from the cloud is awesome especially when im coming home from a hard day at work. I get to play while laying in bed comfortable and get ready to sleep for my next shift.

Customer service was great when ordering the portal, delivery was available to me at purchase and pick up fast. My kid enjoys the portal when away from home and while his roaming around the house.

I've had a PS5 for years, and have recently started traveling a lot more. I really wanted to be able to still play some games, while sitting in airports, hotels, etc, and lugging around a PS5 isn't really an option.
I didn't even realize the Portal existed, and was thrilled when I learned about it. I picked one up from Best Buy, and it arrived pretty quickly later.
Turning it on, the quality and built is well in-line with what I'd expect from Sony. I connected to my home wifi, and then input my Playstation ID. I made sure remote play was enabled on the PS5, and we were quickly in business. Man, do I love being able to play on this thing! The controls feel just right at home as if I was playing my PS5.
The screen is great. Nice and bright, and does a good job for a portable device. While Sony does market this for just largely using at home, I read about being able to use it remotely. Thankfully, I've also had great success with being able to do that too! We have a Comcast connection, and I've been able to connect to various wifi networks and be able to largely do this just fine.
There have been the occasional time when it lagged so much that I wasn't even able to play remotely, but restarting the PS5 seems to usually do the trick for fixing that.
I've been very happy with my Portal, and am sure glad Sony put this product out!

Was skeptical about buying this since it’s just for remote play but ive actually really enjoyed using it. When i dont want to sit down and play at my desk i just use this in bed or on the couch. I will say you need good wifi or itll get pixelated. The build quality feels very good!

Great portable console for remote gaming. However if you’re trying to play a fast paced online FPS game such as Call of Duty, there is a lot of lag. I have a very high speed internet at home (1 gig) and I use a high end router (ASUS ROG GT6) and the PS portal still experiences lag with FPS games. However, for one player solo games, it works pretty well.

I bought it open box in "very good" condition. Supposed to come with a charger and didn't. It also had finger prints all over and was not factory reset. System itself works fine though. Just needed a little more TLC for being very good.

I was apprehensive about buying this because I have the remote play app and a controller but once I used it I was blown away. Streaming works way better than an app and it is comfortable to hold. Only drawbacks: you have to have at least decent internet and the battery life is not the best. That said it’s great for streaming the ps5 especially if you want a second screen while watching tv or something

This thing gets a lot of hate online becuase it is WiFi only, but I gotta say, it's awesome. I don't always want to go upstairs and get in my game room. Sometimes I just want to sit on the couch downstairs and put in a quick session. This is superb for that. I've taken it on trips, too, and it works amazingly well in a hotel room. Well worth the money.
