    PlayStation portable: A pretty awesome handheld

    I was going back and forth for the longest time whether or not to buy the PS portable. “Is it worth it, will I use it”. But I must say my doubts have been firmly dismissed! This is a great handheld for anyone who owns a PS5/PS4 games, super easy to set up, and the battery life is pretty solid. The fact that I can pick it up and play when my wife is watching here reality TV shows, and we can sit in the same room is amazing!

    Playstation portal.... Great device

    The PlayStation portal is a Great device. It allows you to play your PlayStation 5 without being tethered to the TV. Since I've had it that it's been my favorite way to play my PlayStation in a way. However, that comes at a cost sometimes. If the internet is not great then it suffers because it is a remote player, not a stand-alone console. If you're downloading something else while trying to stream at the same time, your game play suffers. However, when things are great with this device, things are really great. The visual quality is great. The gameplay feels like a PlayStation. 5. Dual sense in your hand. The screen puts out very well, so I think that if you were to buy it, knowing that this is not a Nintendo switch, where's a standalone device okay? If you're okay with that, then you should have no problems with this device because it is quite fine.

    If you’ve already got a PS5 and have a family that likes to use the tv this is very helpful. Play your ps5 anywhere throughout your house as long as you have Wi-Fi. Also with the new cloud update you can use this bad boy on the go! (If you’re a PSplus member)

    I bought a release PS Portal and tried hard to love it. Had connection issues, trigger issues, and sound problems. I sold it before the quality of life updates were implemented. I decided to give it another go this year and everything I struggled with previously has been remedied! Lately, I've been playing on this more than my OLED TV, and I'm glad I got it in black this time!

    This product works great now that they’ve updated it to play directly from the cloud instead of needing your PlayStation 5. What I don’t like is that you need a premium subscription to do so though. But other than that, it’s worth it.

    I bought this because I would like to be out of my bed when I am playing games. Pros: - very good for adventure, JRPG, casual games. -beautiful screen. LCD screen but good quality. I don't notice backlight bleed. cons: - not for fast paced games where reaction time is very important. - not recommended for FPS games, latency is okay, but you will feel it. -also, I don't recommend this to horror game fans. it is an LCD panel, so you'll notice greyish instead of deep black on dark scenes. ** you need a ps5 to play on this** **this accessory is for casual gamers** if you have extra money - buy this if you like single payer games and don't wanna be tied on your tv. or buy the ps5 edge controller if you're always playing FPS or any fast-paced games that rely on reaction time.

    I got this PS as a gift for my little brother, and he absolutely loved it. It’s a great option if you have more than one child—one can play on the ps while the other uses the TV. Perfect for keeping everyone happy and entertained.

    My 1st time using the PlayStation Porter and overall it was a good experience. The games I play have maps to open and mounts to call, and the learning curve to find those options was challenging,

    Ever since the update I have been able to play it more. The ability to take it anywhere makes it a plus as well. I highly recommend anyone that doesn’t have it should definitely go get one, especially for the price.

    The ability to play your PS5 from just about anywhere is a game changer. Provided you have a good wi-fi at home, or even away the PlayStation Portal exceeded my expectations. It works great with just about every game. There is a little bit of input lag on Call of Duty MWIII but that was expected.

    Amazing, you won’t regret it. Now I can game from any room. Might need to have your pa5 connected to lan and not WiFi. Noticed it kicks me off the portal if it’s connected to WiFi.

    Originally, it was a remote play device, but with a recent update, it allows you to stream games from Sony (with a premium subscription), which is pretty cool. The games catalog is quite extensive, featuring some top titles. Unfortunately, I found myself not playing it much because the latency that was occasionally noticeable, and the quality would drop. Even when it worked well, I had to stay fairly close to my router, and even then there were occasional hiccups. Maybe my internet wasn’t good enough (500 Mbps).

    I am so happy with this purchase I can't recommend it enough. I do think to get max use of the portal you should have the PSN premium. Which allows you to stream directly to the portal.
