    For when you want to hide you playing games from your wife, this is the best device. You can be in the garage and play, in the kitchen and play, in the guest room, and even if you're dropping the kids to the pool and play. (Hope my wife doesn't read this, she still doesnt know i have this)

    I Bought the ps5 portal as a gift for my husband for Christmas, he was super excited about even tho he wasnt sure about how it worked at first, after doing some research he loves it,he walks around the house playing his ps5. He likes that he doesn’t have to be stationary while playing his games.

    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!

    The idea/ concept is great but connectivity is limited and all the changes and settings you have to make to get it to work properly creates a new headache. Does it look nice yes does it feel nice yes but it constantly buffers I would not recommend this. People say if you have a PlayStation plus premium account for streaming games directly to the device it works better I don’t have that I use it solely for remote play and EVERYTIME I Turn it on I have issue ( 1gb/ mesh router)

    Amazing Little Device

    This is a pretty amazing little device. My teen sons love them and found they can be played almost anywhere with a Wifi connection, with one son playing his on his phone hotspot while in a friends car. (It lagged, but it worked!) The screen is good sized and very clear. My only concern is if the joysticks start drifting later, there is probably no quick fix. We caught these on sale, so I doubt I would have paid full price for them.

    I bought this to take with me on vacation when i visited my sister and nephew. We play Diablo IV together and I was able to use this all day. It was great. Never had an issue. Loved using this when im not able to get to my PS5 console.

    I bought three consoles, two for my children and one for me, and the truth is that it was the best decision. It's an excellent game, I recommend it.

    Works great around the house, but I've tried traveling with it and the wifi couldn't keep up. Wouldn't recommend unless you're gonna play games at home in a different location from your setup.

    I was so happy I got one and I use it much more than I anticipated! As a father with 3 kids in the house all competing for the television, the Portal frees me up to be able to sit with them and still enjoy the full power of my PS5. The screen and controls just fit so comfortably in my hands and I love being able to move around the house as needed while still having access to my games. It was hard to get my hands on one of these but it was so worth the weight! Love my Portal!

    Having the option to remotely play its main reason why i bought it, however…. There a few flaws which I hope they can fix with an update. If you want to play any game on your console, it must be installed or else it doesnt allow you to play (stream games) also u cant use any app installed on your ps5 such as disney plus or anything else. Wifi at home is very strong and still glitches but overall ok

    PS Portal Mehhhh

    I wanted to like it, but just couldn't. I'm a Dad so the thought of this sounded awesome. However, I always felt like I was getting a way lesser experience playing a PS5 game on the Portal vs on my TV. The lag and latency was always terrible. So bad that when I was playing open world game, the background was so blurry I couldn't tell where I was going. Such as on Star Wars Outlaws. There was a significant delay between the controller and the actually gameplay as well. I wouldn't even bother trying to play COD or something similar. Ultimately, I ended up returning it within 14 days after a few attempts of playing a game. Just not the same experience. I live in town, have a 1gbps download speed with a mesh Wi-Fi system along with my PS5 connected via Ethernet to my router so I know it's not a connectivity issue. Also, I have a Switch OLED and the game literally played the same in handled as on the TV since it's not a "remote player" like the Portal. Maybe I had high expectations, but I would rather wait for a dedicated PlayStation handheld or just get a Switch 2 in my opinion.

    If you have a PS-Pro controller and no Portal, something is wrong with you, amazing value for $200 and the black is very sexy!

    Best idea sony has come up with in a long time. Can play my Playstation 100s miles away. Keep up with my gameplay with friends and foes. Great picture, smooth play. Price is very reasonable. Its like having a second ps5. No more packing up the set and taking a chance of breaking it. Love it.

    Portal good not great

    Is good not great, since it depends mostly on your upload speed of your internet. Try using good ethernet cable on the ps5 for better connection. If using wifi try putting your primary bandwidth on your ps5 to the 5gtz . Also let your ps5 run for like 2 minutes before connecting, when i connect the portal immediately after turning on the game the connection was static while using wifi. Overall good accessory to have.

    Lots of mixed reviews on this but I do like it a lot. Kind of depends on the game, some just feel better playing on a console but everything I've played so far plays perfectly fine. I have put quite a few hours on fallout 4 playing handheld. I would definitely recommend if someone in your house is hogging the tv all the time and you just want to play video games haha
