Great product when it’s working! I had an initial issue with lagging and WiFi which seems to be sorted out through the most recent updates. Randomly now my right joystick isn’t working which also seems to be a known ongoing issue via Reddit. When it’s working though I’ve had lots of fun. As a dad of two young kids I just don’t have the time to turn on my console anymore. This has been nice because they can watch TV and I can casually game. Hopefully we can get this resolved through Sony.

1 player games without having to play against someone online work amazingly! It was the thing I didn’t know I needed. Graphics are great and the big screen is very helpful. You do need a fast wifi connection for it to be succesful.

The PS portal does it's job as advertised. Great screen quality, weight, and battery (if you take the constant light and control vibration). It's a great addition to all my gadgets.

Very good graphics, it takes some doing to get it connected, so you're going to have to contact PlayStation.
Technical support? Were there going to help you change a couple things in the network? So you can open it up without it continually lagging, and then you're going to have to call whoever you're Internet provider is, and you're going to have to have them open up some portals so that the playStation portal will work without any lagging issues.

Love it! I'm now able to game freely around the house while the main TV is occupied. Was a little laggy but that went away as soon as I connected my PS5 to the Internet via Ethernet cable

Purchased 6 months ago, use pretty often. Stable a strong WiFi is crucial for good experience streaming from console. Streaming from cloud is much more reliable and does not require as great connection. Joystick broke after I dropped it..oops.. warrant is having another sent no questions asked.

The PlayStation portal is a nice addition to the accessories section. This is solely for utilizing the remote play function. So here we go with the pros: excellent use of the ps5 controller, excellent home wifi connection remote play and great screen resolution. So the cons: poor input on controller when not utilizing home wifi, must have ps5 hardwired while utilizing the wifi on portal, and disconnects to often when utilizing other wifi outside of home with 10-15 mbs. I recommend purchasing this on sale for $99. If you have the money to waste, go ahead and buy now. The ifea is terrific, but where is the function to play offline. The option to have a dedicated hard drive for single player offline games is a must which is rare due to online services.

This is a great device to use when you dont want to turn on your TV and disturb family/roomates. It's super nice that you can go anywhere with it as long as you have a wifi connection and the PS app, though I definitely use it mostly at my home juat because its more convenient than the TV.

When this was first purchased I wasn't completely sold on the idea. I really ended up enjoying the Portal. Now that Playstation has implemented more cloud streaming you don't even have to have a Playstation 5 anymore to use this!
