    The item is what I ordered. There was some confusion in the beginning, but the representative was able to inform me on the process to clear up the confusion on my part.

    I was hesitant at first because it is a remote player but it is really worth it! The input lag is barely noticeable and the fact it can remote play anywhere is nice. There is some frame rate drops if there is a lot happening on the screen but it isn't too bad. If you want to play PS5 but also want to go out or play anywhere else this is totally worth it.

    I was very very hesitant to get the Portal, i wasnt sure i would use it enough to make it worth it, nor was i sure if it worked well due to a lot of reviews saying its laggy and takes a lot of time to connect. I am pleased to say it is SO worth it! The over all build of the portal is great, at first glance i thought it looked fragile and cheaply made, but it is much sturdier than i thought. The controller grips feel exactly the same as the duelsense controllers, just with slightly smaller control sticks. Lets just say my internet at my house is patchy at best. My provider is very unreliable but its the only option in my area. With that being said in my house i have no connection issues with the portal and very little lag (only stutters if we have a bunch of devices on the wifi at once and "high traffic times" when close neighbors' signals jam up), but that was maybe one or two nights. I also had issues getting disconnected from the wifi one night but im chalking that up to the service provider and not the portal! Over all i would say, if you would like to play PS5 as your tv is taken up by a significant other or you want to watch something as you game, the portal is for you. If you want to go lay in bed and play a bit before falling asleep, its for you. If you travel (to places with wifi) its for you. I didnt think id use it as much as i have, i originally thought "oh its not for me", but i have found myself making excuses to use the Portal. I have run a variety of games on it, from simple games like PS classic games and Stardew Valley, to more demanding games like FF7 rebirth demo, God of War Ragnorok, etc. All have worked perfectly. The screen is bright and looks great even for just an lcd. One down point is the fact that the lowest volume setting on it is still VERY loud, so if im playing in bed and my fiancee wants to read, i end up needing headphones, which you can use a 3.5mm wired headphones, but not bluetooth! If you have the means to get one and are able to snag one as its in stock, do it! Its very worth it for even casual gamers!

    Easy to get set up and fun to play around the house. Really slick looking, too, and feels great in hand. There were a few times connectivity wasn't great but that can be a few factors.

    Love this device. It feels like you are playing locally versus streaming from another device. The form factor feels great in your hand.

    Let me start off by saying that the portal in concept is awesome, but in my time with it i foujd that it did not live up to what i expected. I know this is technically a streaming device only and nothing gets played on the portal natively but i feel like i should not have had the experience i had with it with the internet speeds i have. I see people posting YouTube videos saying they can technically play the device anywhere as long as they have Wifi which definitely did not work for me. I brought it to a friends house and never connected to my ps5 that was in rest mode at home. And even my experience at home was not great i had to go in change a bunch of settings in my portal and my router settings to make it work just a little bit better. Even with what i looked up and changed it still wasnt the greatest experience. Sooo anyways when it works its mind blowing to play God of War on a handheld at 60fps buuut in most case the connection was so bad i would get disconnected mutliple times in a session when i was in the room NEXT to my router, didnt even work downstairs for me. So if you want something you can just turn on and play without having to think then this is probably not for you. I am returning mine after some weeks and opting to get the steam deck instead.

    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)

    Excellent companion to PS5

    Firstly, the Playstation Portal isn't going to be for everybody. It's going to see the most use in situations where there are more than one person using a the television the PS5 is hooked up to. Secondly, the Portal performs best on a wifi network with a good, strong signal and nice high speeds. I have tested the Portal extensively while using my phone as a hotspot, and it works well enough to play something that isn't going to require a fast reaction time. As for the performance of the Portal and my own personal experience, I just couldn't be happier! I mostly use my Portal at home while my wife is using the television to play her Switch. Also when I'm relaxing in bed, that is an excellent time for the Portal to shine. The graphical fidelity is beautiful, great range of color on display, images comes through nice and sharp. Response time for the controls is almost without any lag at all, making gaming on this little gem a wonderful experience. Sound from the Portal is about what you'd expect from a portable device, it good enough. I picked up the Pulse Elite headset just to use with the Portal, glad I did. The Pulse Elite connects to the Portal without any dongles or extra hardware or anything, and it makes the audio experience VERY worth the price of the headset. If you get a Portal, get the Pulse Elite headset to go with it! Finally, the Playstation Portal is comfortable to use. It seemed like it was going to be a bit large at first, but after extended use I've found I can play for hours without any issues. Keep in mind this is on my home wifi network, which has very strong signal and very high speed. Even on my phone's hotspot, the Portal works well enough to play a lot of games, but I highly recommend using it on a good fast wifi.
