It was A open box but in excellent condition being playing it pretty much every day works well with my setup.

I love the screen size and controller design. But if it could ve used to stream from video streaming apps it would be amazing. Also add bluetooth so we can use the headphones of our choice. If this also had OLED and a brighter display, i would pay an extra $50 for it.

Build quality is fantastic, and the screen is gorgeous. The connectivity to the console is excellent with very rare hiccups, and I’m using a 1gb WiFi FiOs connection for reference. I only play single player games and this device is perfect for games like Ultros, Balatros, FF7 Remake, Ratchet and Clank, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection. I don’t play shooters on this because I prefer a larger screen for that, but im sure others would enjoy it.
If you’ve been on the fence, do yourself a favor and get one now that they’re back in stock regularly.

Honestly this is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes this WiFi does get choppy when you first connect to your system but the gameplay is smooth the vast majority of the time

Despite the screen looking fantastic and the controls feeling on-par with that of the PS5, I was unfortunately a little underwhelmed with the functionality of the device. I bought the device so that I could play my PS5 games in bed while my wife was using the TV, but I come to find out that the connection between the Portal and my PS5 couldn't even reach as far as my bedroom without significant latency issues. Furthermore, you could turn on your PS5 remotely using the device, but you can't turn it back off, which means if you don't want your PS5 running all night, you have to get up and turn it off manually. For what I was looking for in a portable Playstation device, this wasn't quite it.

I've owned the portal for about a month now. I haven't turned on the TV my PS5 is connected to since then. Yes its that good and immersive. I played the whole game of ghosts of tsushima, now cyberpunk and some overwatch. Everything feels native as if there was a cartridge system like the switch. And the screen is the absolute perfect size and its absolutely beautiful! I've not have any network issues like I do with ps remote play on third party devices. As a father this has been such a joy yo have and I can play games in yhte same room where family likes to spend time at. totally worth it and a fine extension to the ps5

I read a lot of mixed reviews about not being able to stream your games without being on your home network…. I have been able to stream my games from anywhere with WiFi

I almost rhought about returning this the first day cause lag was so bad and i thought with my wifi6 i was good. Once i swapped my ps5 over to ethernet from wifi the portal was a lot better. As a casual gamer dad i played my ps5 less often than i do now, maybe 2-4 hours a week. Just finding time to get the main tv to myself was always an issue. With the portal i find it a lot easier to just sneak in a game even if the tv is occupied by the kids. I get to still be present but can play my favorite games. I would totally recommend this for casual gamer parents with a few extra bucks to burn.
