Love the gaming system it’s nice black and sleek and very portable. I love the online gaming on the go. It’s a must have system.

I have had the playstation portal for a week now and enjoy it very much. I would say it lags but very little though. Its convenient when you dont want to play somewwhere else around your house. I would reccomend you have fast internet to be able to enjoy portal.

It's a great product and serves a very specific purpose. It streams games from your Playstation 5 to this handheld. Best used if your PS5 is on ethernet and connected to the same network as this handheld, AKA you're at home where the PS5 is. However, i recently traveled to Florida and was able to play Final Fantasy XVI, streamed from my PS5 in California, with still very usable input lag. Quality is amazing, setup is quick and easy, and the controller is basically a Dualsense cut in half (which is a good thing).
Drawbacks are lack of a web browser so you cannot connect to public wifi requiring a website agreement. No bluetooth so only audio options are built in speakers (they're okay), aux port, or PS Link headset/ear buds. Also i think this is a huge missed opportunity to allow support for game streaming classic PS1/2/3 titles via PS Plus. This could be a huge subscriber boost for Sony if they enabled PS Plus game streaming without the need of a PS5. Perhaps in the bext iteration.

The PS portal is surprisingly convenient. When my wife wants to watch a movie on the TV, I can still play my PS5 through the PS portal. My son has also been very happy with the portal. A few things to note is that you would need to look for accessories in amazon. Also you have to connect the portal to your PS5 before you can use the PS portal when away from home. I can't think of any negatives to mention. Overall very convenient, and cheaper than most hand held devices.

After the newest update allowing game streaming, this is a must-have for those who travel and have access to good internet speeds. I have 1k Gbps internet at home, and it does not lag at all. Picture quality is amazing! The sound is really good, but it has a 35mm input if you have headphones, so you can save on buying Sony's dedicated accessory headsets. If you don't like it, return it. Then, someone else can get an open box and save $50 just like me!

If you are a dad who shares the TV you game on with your kids/wife; this is a must. If you don’t want to constantly have to be sitting in front of your tv and monitor to play your PS5 game and want to lay in bed or play on the couch, then it is also a must. I can’t begin to say how awesome having the PlayStation Portal has been, my backlog of games are starting to get played, I’m enjoying my time playing now because I can pick it up at any time to continue where I left of and not worry about my wife giving me that look like I’m about to go in the other room and be by myself. It’s feel so play more and enjoy playing more with this device. I have had a backbone to do essentially the same thing however it is very small and hurts my hand after a while if you have bigger hands like me and if you are someone that has one this is 100% better in every way. You have the dual sense controllers which are great, along with all the haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers the controller has to offer. Plus that 8 inch LCD screen almost looks like an Oled and it is beautiful to play on. I can’t recommend this product enough if you are in the fence or already have a backbone and looking to upgrade
