Its good for what it is and only for what its meant for if you havent really paid attention to it then read up before you finally are able to get one no it does not have its own games it does not have a browser it cant play music or videos it cant download anything and does not have Bluetooth BUT it does enhance the remote play experience feels better then using a backbone it has ergonomics of an actual controller with a mini tablet in the middle and there is less lag when compared to using my phone its just not the same when you clip your phone to a holder attached to a controller you have that top weight but with the portal its like a feather it is a bit awkward to carry around there arent any cases for these things yet so you gotta be careful yes its overpriced i think 150 wouldve been good and yes you waste less with a gamesir galileo G8 or a backbone or a razer kishi or a controller clip but the experience isnt the same if you really want this be patient keep looking DO NOT buy it for more then 220 dont go to fb and meet up somone selling it for 300 keep looking and be patient

The portal has surpased expectations. Being able to spin up a game for 15-20 minutes just feels better on the portal than using the whole tv setup. Using while the kids are watching a movie is great too. It really has enabled more playtime than I anticipated.

This is a great addition for playing your PS5 games away from the ps5. You can play multiplayer games, but fast pace games like Call of Duty are hard do to a slight lag. I was able to play madden multiplayer with no problem. If you are a parent or person alway out of the hoyse, this is a great accessory for the price

I was initially cautious because of public reception and the fact that it was a only a remote player. However, its value is actually quite high, for what it is. My PS5 was in Florida while we were visiting family in Alaska and the Portal worked perfectly. I was able to play Helldivers 2 from across the country with little to no latency and that blew my mind. I'm glad they added streaming without a console, but I have no desire to pay for PS Plus Premium

I love my playstation portal. Being able to play on the go as well as in other rooms or while my partner is using the TV is amazing. There's a reason these are so challenging to get and its because if you're someone who is more on the go it allows you to continue playing your favorite games.

Playstation also added an update, as long as you have the PS membership and wifi, you can essentially play anywhere, not just at home. Huge QoL update.

Great item for remote play. The screen is sufficiently big for open world games. The control handles are just as the PS5 controllers. Easy to set up and only needs WiFi. It can have some lagging depending on how fast your WiFi is. All in all it’s a great product

Unfortunately it was as “meh” of a product as I had imagined. Im not shocked to find so may similar disappointing reviews but I am surprised that there are so many positive ones. It’s just a screen for the ps5 gaming console, which is clear with any decent research. Still, my 10 year old and I gave it a shot. Super glitchy, didn’t matter what WiFi the portal was on or the ps5 itself. All WiFi test speeds good. Definitely finicky to set up the right connections at first to be able to turn on the ps5 remotely (chat gpt gave best guidance when working through a Linksys mesh node network that was blocking capability to talk to the base unit). After a week even my son agreed to send it back which says it all. Not a good product. Neat idea maybe kinda? But in execution it fails.

Great device when you’re PS5 is plugged into the internet. Some dumb decisions tho. Why no Bluetooth? Thats crazy. And the volume and brightness do not go low enough for nighttime seshes. Still a great PS5 companion if you want to play wherever
