Nice option to play remotely ps5, downside is that you need a PS5 and link with your account.

So i had already bought hubby his Christmas presents which was the Crazy 8’s in both coloways because he is a sneaker head. So i though ok cool im done presents are wrapped im good. Well no, all i keep hearing about was this PlayStation portal thing and how hard it was to get and how much he wanted it. He told me this on December 20th people!!!! It was sold out everywhere!!!! Omg i about had a heart attack. This thing was like a unicorn only heard about in myths and folklore lol and by some miracle on the 21st i was able to score one online on the Bestbuy app. He has not stopped raving about how lucky he is and how cool it is. Its really nice to see him so excited about a present.

I love this thing! The screen is way bigger than I expected too and is extremely crisp and clear. My PS5 is hooked up to a 4k monitor and even though the Portal is only 1080p, the picture looks great. I haven’t had any issues with connectivity and have been using it for a few months now. For the price, I highly recommend

100% worth it. I find myself with more game time that I thought I would. I wanted to test it out…but I’m keeping it. There are some network things you gotta do, Ethernet cable to PS5, for better connectivity. But after that….works great!

Wonderful extension to the PlayStation 5. If you have an internet connection with low latency this is a wonderful addition. It can only stream games although some games are unable to stream due to the mirroring function this operates on. However those were indie games from the PS market. Best investment for my spouse and myself. She needs glasses normally so the size of the screen allows her to play games at the comfort of her own eyes, however the weight of the system can begin to wear in your wrist if you support the handheld with your arms or unsupported.

The PlayStation Portal offers a convenient way to stream PS5 games, but it has room for improvement. Adding Bluetooth support for third-party headsets would greatly enhance audio flexibility. Local game streaming without relying solely on Wi-Fi would improve portability. Better battery life and support for cloud gaming services would also increase its overall value. Nice product but definetly areas that could be better

Always wanted it… but instantly regret it.
1) PS5 have to be on for it to work. And let’s say if your on road and if your PS5 is not on or on standby, it won’t work…
2) You CANNOT watch your Netflix, Hulu or any streaming services on your Media Tab.. Big downfall!!
3) Even with a 500meg internet, this device lags here and there and quality will be affected. Have to restart to have a stable connection again.
But the new update seems to fix the lag:. Just a bit

Works great for its very specific purpose of streaming PS5 games. It would be great if Sony opened it up to allow streaming through Geforce Now, Steam, or other 3rd party applications.
Screen size is right where it should be for a handheld, and the controller grips are some of the best designed and most comfortable out there for a handheld.
My only problem with it is that it's tied exclusively to the Playstation format when (admittedly more expensive) competitors like the Logitech G Cloud, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally have no such restrictions.

Ill preface my review by saying I have two kids, a wife, and one tv. My gaming time is limited but I try to make an effort to ger some game time in each week because it’s something I love doing. The Playstation Portal works much better than I anticipated. Is it perfect? No, but I’m surprised by the ease of use, comfortability, relatively low input lag and build quality. If you have a PS5, share a tv with your family and have your router connected via ethernet I believe this is a no brainer. The only reason I didn’t rate this 5 stars is because of lack of bluetooth. It’s not a deal breaker by any means as the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Great device and does what it's meant for at an okay price.
For hardware, I think $200 is well spent for a normal PS5 controller plus a built in 7-8" screen. This combo makes it much nicer to play on this than on my Back Bone paired with my phones. Controller is solid; screen is solid.
Do note that.Frame rates are terrible though. With the exact same PS5 setup, my phone paired with the backbone gives me constand 60fps pretty much all the time, while this Portal runs choppy, lots of frame drops, 30 fps ish more than half
