    This thing is great. I have kids so they are most of the time watching movies or playing their own games. With the portal I can just let my kids do their own thing and be able to play some games while in bed or on the couch. Sometimes even at work.

    Let me start off by saying that the portal in concept is awesome, but in my time with it i foujd that it did not live up to what i expected. I know this is technically a streaming device only and nothing gets played on the portal natively but i feel like i should not have had the experience i had with it with the internet speeds i have. I see people posting YouTube videos saying they can technically play the device anywhere as long as they have Wifi which definitely did not work for me. I brought it to a friends house and never connected to my ps5 that was in rest mode at home. And even my experience at home was not great i had to go in change a bunch of settings in my portal and my router settings to make it work just a little bit better. Even with what i looked up and changed it still wasnt the greatest experience. Sooo anyways when it works its mind blowing to play God of War on a handheld at 60fps buuut in most case the connection was so bad i would get disconnected mutliple times in a session when i was in the room NEXT to my router, didnt even work downstairs for me. So if you want something you can just turn on and play without having to think then this is probably not for you. I am returning mine after some weeks and opting to get the steam deck instead.

    With the update that allows for streaming without your PS5 on... Magic. It works so well and the portal has a great hand feel. Definitely recommend hardwiring your PS5 if you want smooth connection when remoting but it is so fun when it works well. Direct streaming from Sony works perfectly even on a hotspot with my phone.

    I was suprise how well it plays. While i remote play from my PS5 PRO or stream from the cloud is awesome especially when im coming home from a hard day at work. I get to play while laying in bed comfortable and get ready to sleep for my next shift.

    Finally got the full setup, A PS5 Slim, a PS5 cooling station, and now this right here and next a second controller. Taking some time to get use of but I'm glad that I finally got to buy it before the last one sold out.

    Was on the fence when purchasing this but I'm glad I did. It's definitely not for everyone. I'm not huge into handhleds, especially if it can be played on the big screen but when I want to play couch co op with the hubby and don't want to share a screen, this is a great alternative. I just connect to my ps5 and we play on one of our other screens with his ps5. Just $100 more than the backbone, it's definitely worth a try.

    I love this thing! It works seemlessly. I have a direct line from my playstation to my router so the performance on my Portal is excellent. I recommend keeping your game settings on performance mode for the best experience. The set up was also very simple. I was gaming in less than 5 minutes after updates. Its also surprisingly light and the controllers are legit PS5 controllers. If you have to share the tv or if you like gaming while laying in bed, you need to check this thing out!

    I've had my Playstation portal for about 2 months now, and it is amazing with a few hiccups. The games look and run beautiful for the most part if you have a stable wifi connection but playing multi-player games is a bit awkward.

    The device works great and has a decent time streaming games and works without a ps5 console however a 160 subscription per year on top oh needing wifi all the time is annoying for $360 id rather spend $400 on a steam deck

    Phenomenal for people who do not want to game on a big tv or only have limited tvs! I’ve been big on playing single player games on my ps5 recently but the idea of turning on the tv and sitting on the couch gets tough, I can now switch on the portal while laying in bed and my fiancée watches tv and have no issues!
