This is a great product for a gaming family. I have the PS5 in the living room and my kids can’t always play when we are watching tv. Once I got this product it helped so much.

This is a great purchase if you wanna game when away from home. Even if I dont have a wifi connection it works great using my phone as a hotspot and I am able to play when no issues. I love the all black finish as well. Its a pegect handheld size and screen brightness and battery life is really good for the price.

This thing is great!!! Wife can watch something on tv and I can play next to her on the couch so we still can spend time together. Haven’t experienced any lag but I do have my PS5 connected to the router via cat 5 cable and I’ve heard that helps with connectivity. Definitely recommended this thing if you travel and want to play or just want to let someone else use the tv.

Nice but left me wanting more. Features that would make it perfect: Bluetooth, if it had its own games (I would pay extra for this feature), the ablitiy to watch movies/youtube, maybe standalone apps can be added in the future.

An excellent portable playstation device. I've used it for about a month with no issues, playing games like Helldivers. Your internet connection needs to be really good though, so you should have a wired connection for your PS5 to really use it without a hiccup.
The haptic feedback makes it like holding a regular PS5 controller which is fantastic. It's been excellent using it while my wife or kids want to watch something on the tv and I just want to keep gaming. It's perfect for that sort of scenario or if you're traveling.
I just hope Sony makes more of these and stops the mscalpers. I had PTSD trying to get one, as it took several attempts like the PS5.

With the new updates the ps portal is so worth it. You don't need a PS5 even anymore to play it. Just get a subscription to playstation plus and as long as you have ok wifi you get a huge amount of games to play! Works amazing. I was never a fan of cloud gaming but this has changed my mind. And it's at a great price! If you have a PS5 it works out even greater cause you can play your library basically everywhere now
Great product is u own a PS5, with a few drawbacks

Ok, this is overall fantastic and opens up a lot of new options for gamers, especially those with families. My two big complaints are: headphones connections and screen refresh rate. You CANNOT pair any bluetooth headsets you own with this device. They are using proprietary tech (as is tradition) called Sony Link, and only two headphones currently exist, sort of, that have this in them. The earbuds dont release until December and last i checked the earmuffs version doesnt come out until next year, and the earbuds are $200. So, same price as this device. . . They should have replaced the Sony Link with standard bluetooth, but Sony has long been in the practice of using proprietary tech in their products which inevitably hurts the consumers. Anyone remember their Memory Stick Duo??! Here we go again. As for the refresh rate, while it isn’t as common, its becoming more and more so with each passing year that games are running at 120 frames per second, needing screens with 120 hz refresh rates. This is something less than that. After playing years of Rocket League on the PS5 at 120 FPS, it is God awful trying to play at anything less. Played half a match and quit due to this. Dont get me wrong, the input lag from the Portal is virtually nonexistant. In this case, it’s the screen’s refresh rate holding it back and bottlenecking the experience. . . Other than those two things, this is a great product

I would give it 5 stars, however it does get a little laggy at times due to it streaming from PS5. I LOVE it and it works well for me, however if you are unable to hardwire your PS5 it may not be as fast as you want. I play red dead on it all night after my wife holds the living room TV hostage.

I love this portable! I understand there are many options for portable gaming with PS5, but this one for me has been the best. The screen is a comfortable size for traveling, as well as gaming, and the controllers are very similar to ones with the home system. I did have to give it 4/5 due to the internet connection; My house has really strong connection, but even I have noticed choppy service here and there, which has affected my overall experience, Nevertheless, I think it’s a great portable system ad I can’t wait to see what Sony does to make it progress.
