    If you like the ability to game around the house, this is perfect. It is helpful when your significant other is using the TV, or you're just in a different spot, like watching a baby monitor or tending to the grill! Also good if you have some downtime between projects, or when you're on vacation. Haven't had significant connectivity issues in the home.

    This system is very handy for a nice switch over from your tv, to your hand held device. For being a father to able to be able to game as my child can watch tv is amazing. The transition to the portal is fast and easy to set up. I have recommended this to many friends with them buying the system as well.

    As I've moved into the next stage of life (fatherhood) I was looking for a product that would still allow for me to game from time to time with the limited personal time I have. The Playstation Portal is the exact product I was hoping for! Easy to setup, online play was smooth, and a great travel companion no matter where you are traveling. So far extremely happy with the product!

    I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loved it. I recommend it more for when you want to play solo games I don’t really recommend it for games like Rivals, Apex, Battlefield etc, because it is a slight delay.

    I love everything about the PlayStation 5 portal. I enjoy gaming comfortable on my portal anywhere, because sitting in front of my tv all the time in order to play my game kind of sucks so im Sony came up with their brilliant ideas usual. I also want to say bestbuy is the best site to order electronics and etc.

    This has been a game changer for me. I never had time to game. Always entertaining kids. The has given me a chance to get a game in here or there when I have a minute. Connection is great and controls are smooth! Great buy!

    Awesome little device by sony that lets me play my ps5 in bed while my fiance sleeps! Screen is beautiful - only negatives are I wish the sticks were full size, streaming games isn't allowed (Makes sense since youre already streaming from the device though) and changing brightness is a bit cumbersome while playing

    It's a great product unfortunately even with my fiber optic Internet any slight loss in signal results in unplayable quality and lag. I think with cloud it would have better use

    This is an interesting concept, but one that doesn’t seem like was taken to the point of perfection. There are a lot of hiccups with this system. After you get it set up (a time-consuming process considering the updates you have to do), you then have to know to go in to your PS5 and turn on “allow remote play” and “stay connected to the internet” in order for this to work. There’s really no directions for all of this—I had to Google troubleshooting measures to figure this out. Once you finally get it all set up, things work OK most of the time. However, every so often, the picture will momentarily scramble and freeze, and if you’re at a critical point in your game, it can really mess up your gameplay. I have the highest speed internet my cable system offers, so it’s not a problem with my connection. It just sort of feels like this went to market when it was “almost” ready for release. When it’s working, it works well, but If these freeze-ups are causing me lives in my game, I’d rather just wait and play on my PS5 and large monitor.

    I got this so that i can play while my wife watches her programming on TV. I can play from any room in the APT. I love the large vibrant screen. Fits nicely in my hands. Pairing to my PS5 console was easy. NO COmplaints.

    Enjoy the product but it needs very good wifi to work properly. I went out and bought a decent gaming router and it still struggles. There truly is nothing like being able to kick back in bed with some headphones playing some fallout 4(addicted right now like everyone else who watches the show) or Last of Us remastered.
