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.

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 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.

I like the addition to my PlayStation family.
I keep my ps5 in the living room but with this device I can play the game from the comfort of my bed without fail.

I love it, it's exactly what I needed! It’s a very niche product, but it delivers on its promise. It’s not for everyone, and while the price is a bit high, the value it offers makes it worth it.

While the presentation of the hardware is a bit janky, the overall software side is very nice and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I am able to stream from my PS5 to this device on my home wi-fi. It's great as I don't always have access to the tv. It's also nice that I can play PS4 games as well (on the ps5 of course). It basically is a mirrored display and works like the remote function from the ps vita. I was able to go into different rooms and the quality pretty much held with little to no input lag what so ever. There were moments of a blotchy image but it was very rare in the few hours I've played with it. Overall, if you are looking to remote play in your home without getting a secondary controller for your phone, this is a good option. I wish I could play games natively on it as playing psp and vita games would have been excellent for this. Oh well, a good remote device overall.
