Great at playing games and watching movies. I use it all the time

It's a great device and I generally like playing it but the biggest downside is the stick sensitivity. There's no resistance like I controller. I've tried thumbstick rings and extenders but it doesn't change anything. If they would put better sticks on this it would be five star

Great price for the portal. The new updates for the portal, makes the portal even more worth getting. Great quality and fun to play with. Would definitely recommend.

Initial opinion: Great clarity, onscreen setup was relatively simple, decent battery life (can also plug-in/charge while playing), good sound quality (has 3.5mm headphone jack, but haven't tried using USB-C to see if that works too), D-pad is replaced with a button on left side. I couldn't find a charging indicator/status light anywhere when I plugged it back in which I thought was odd. After playing a few hours on it, the only downside I found so far is that at times it does lag, freeze, get grainy and that was on the same home WiFi network with the PS5 in the next room. My router is a Netgear AX1800 and both the console/Portal were within 20 feet of the router. Since this isn't an issue of lack of bandwidth, it must be the Portal itself, especially since others have reported the same issue. However, it's nice to be able to play while someone else is watching TV. I was playing a downloaded game and haven't tried it with a physical disc game yet, but the lag may not be tolerable in the middle of an action scene/battle.

Portal is a great purchase if you want to still play in your house or if you have a lot of free time in another place that is not your house, the wifi only system is a bit of a bummer, but besides that, it is exactly what you want for mobile gaming.

Is good not great, since it depends mostly on your upload speed of your internet. Try using good ethernet cable on the ps5 for better connection. If using wifi try putting your primary bandwidth on your ps5 to the 5gtz . Also let your ps5 run for like 2 minutes before connecting, when i connect the portal immediately after turning on the game the connection was static while using wifi. Overall good accessory to have.

Its a powerful device but it could do more in my opinion it needs more portal capabilities make it fully portal with a opinion to screen share and its a 5 star
Future of gaming as long as you have a strong Wifi

Wow, cloud gaming is the future! I am so bought in as I can just pick a game on start on the fly. Great for busy professionals who just want to get lost on a quick game.

I overall love the design and love the idea behind the system. Within my first week of owning and using it, I started having connectivity issues. I read online about moving your router and making sure that you were on a steady connection but I still had connectivity issues, and then I developed a drift in my left joystick, I ended up returning it but if they come out with an updated version that solves all of those problems out the box, I will definitely be purchasing another one

Bought this for my father as a Christmas gift! Easy to set up and now doesn’t require having a PS5! Still need a PlayStation subscription but it’s really easy sign in and start playing!

Wow, with all the hate around this, I was a little worried it would be a dust collector. Nope! Sony, good job with this, and I can't wait for updates. I know you all have more to come. Yes, I have more than one TV, but the fact that I don't have to be stuck at my TV in my game room is amazing. Downstairs with the family as they watch TV. Amazing! Sayless

This thing is AMAZING! Time flies by when you’re having fun and this has been the cause of it! All those who says this is a waste of money get out of here! I’m glad I purchased this!
