The thought of the handheld is great. Thought this would be a great way for my husband to play the playstation with the kids. However because they sync together, one or the other has to be played at a time. Would be much more pleasant to play if both could be played at the same time. If too faraway from the Playstation it lags as well.

I always wanted to get a portal and I'm glad I waited till the black one came out I love it! I can play my games while the rest of the family uses the tv. It also works well if you're not at home all only thing which is really needed is an internet connection and the better it is the better the performance of course. The price is the same as the white but I did get mine price matched so I got it at a great deal.

I do like the PlayStation Portal. My purpose of using it was to play wherever I wanted in the house. It accomplishes that. I use this quite a lot because of the convenience of not being attached to one room. I think it works for most games. However, the analog sticks are not the greatest for first person shooters. The analog sticks are smaller and it moves faster than a regular PS5 analog stick. I would have to slow down the vertical look to a 2 speed in order to aim perfectly. If they put the same analog sticks from the PS5 controller on the portal then it would be much better. Secondly, there are connection issues with remoting into the PlayStation 5 while in different rooms. Thirdly, I wish this was more portable so you can play the PlayStation 5 anywhere you go without having to keep the PlayStation 5 on and remote into it. Overall, I do enjoy it and I do use it a lot while at home.

For what it is, it's quite a nice little device. Sure, you can only stream games from your PS5 to it, but as long as you have a good Internet connection where you happen to be, you don't HAVE to be at home to use it

Does exactly what it says it does! You can play anyhwhere with Wifi or just connect to your phone’s hotspot! Looks sleek, great picture and isn’t a hard adjustment from your big screen. I’m obsessed! Ignore the negative reviews and try it out if you can get your hands on one!

I was skeptical of this device given my remote play experience on other devices has not been great, in most cases unplayable. Somehow, this device works much better, though not perfect. With my PS5 wired-in I can keep a stable connection while playing FF7:Rebirth. Strangely framerate seems perfect in battles, small areas, and cutscenes. For whatever reason in the field I see regular frame skips or however you want to refer to it (lag?). The device seems best suited to RPGs which is what I bought it for. Racing games are unplayable on this, at least with my connection. When it works though, wow FF7Rebirth looks incredible on that screen. And having the real PS5 controller feels much better on this than any other alternative.

I wasn’t expecting the progressive usefulness and ever expansiveness of the capabilities and innovative nature of this tech. I’m pretty much an old handheld user who’s used multiple platforms. Simple put, my portal is really killing the game.

Works great as long as the internet is reliable! I love being able to not take the tv for some of my games. I work on a computer screen all day and needed a mobile option that wasn’t pc

Finally got one by chance at bestbuy yesterday. I have to say its more than i expected and games really do look good on the screen. Ive played Spiderman 2. Assassins Creed Mirage, and a little bit of fortnite. My internet is 350~ down and 50- up. Games run smooth.

With a PlayStation plus premium subscription, this device plays the streaming games very well. Very natural feeling in the hands. I wish the blacks on the screen were darker and a wider contrast but this is also only $200 and the display punches above that price point.
My biggest complaint is the lack of compatibility with third party Bluetooth headphones. I know they want to sell other hardware, but I already have too many expensive headphone choices at home.
