    Honestly the concept is cool but if only did it like the play station portable where you could take it anywhere I would have kept it, but having your system on makes no sense when you can game on the tv

    Was able to successfully play it once and then it had connection issues. Best buy exchanged it for me but the new one still didnt work. Verizon changed permissions on my router hoping that would fix it but no luck. If you plan on using it off t mobile hotspot it will not work. Too many issues for a 200 dollar device. Wish sony put a higher price tag on it and made it function more like a Switch

    I mean it gets the job done but the connection is sometimes very poor. Sometimes it glitches out. But it gets the job done when u don’t wanna sit and play you can just lay down and play it does get the job done. But sometimes after a hour of play the portal disconnects and does not re connect until the next use? Like when i’m playing a game it disconnects me in the middle of it then i try and reconnect and it doesn’t so i reset it and still nothing, i usually go off of it for a day and it starts working again but this has to be fixed. Good Idea. Bad Excecution

    I wouldn’t recommend buying this even with really good Wi-Fi when out I was constantly reconnecting back to the system. So it just ruins the game play.

    Great design, but the lag was horrible in my house. I have gigabit ethernet and zero issues on other equipment with my home averaging connection speeds over 400 mbps at the worst of times. My daughter could barely play Hollow Knight due to the horrible lag. Not recommended for the price.

    Great controls, great display, easy to use software, but absolutely terrible streaming performance and quality. This product is HIGHLY dependent on having a fast and good connection to your Internet, both from the console itself and the Portal. If you can't plug an Ethernet cable into your PS5, you're guaranteed to have a bad time no matter how fast your internet is. I thought maybe it would be fine since this one is Sony's device and surely they'd make it work better than a phone with PSplay or their own streaming app, but nope. Any streaming sucks, even on excellent fast internet.

    Not a fan of this. The connection even with high speed wifi is crazy laggy and just not enjoyable.

    Works well at home on my network. Not good if using hotspot. Some success on WiFi outside of home. Meant for home usage. That’s the reality. But pretty cool and who know what the updates will bring.

    The idea behind this handheld is amazing. Being able to play your console anywhere with stable wifi on a handheld like this is so cool. Even the materials used, and the robustness of this device is 10/10. Unfortunately, where it falls short for me is the lack of an OLED display. For $200, this should at least come with an OLED display, not a cheap LCD. Going from an OLED phone, to an OLED tv, to then and LCD portal is not something I want to get used to. Picky as it may be, but OLED should be used in this device.
