Convienent and portable to take on the road! The connection has minimal lag due to wifi hotspot.

Amazing portal I can take everywhere, picks up right where I left off. Amazing, so in love.

Love having my ps games portable. The screen is the right size compared to my iPhone previously. I think the WiFi issues are not great. The portal uses ps remote same WiFi as your home network which competes with others using the same WiFi. My internet is gigabit but my slow Google wifi creates network contention. It has pretty poor WiFi reception on top of that. When no one’s streaming it works great.

Great expansion controller! Works very well and allows me to game anywhere in the house! Awesome!

Perfect gift my bf loved it since he can take it anywhere

Since purchasing my PS Portal, they have only made it better! Cloud streaming has made this a handheld anyone with or with or without PlayStation should buy. All you need is a PlayStation account and a yearning to play games on the go!

They updated the system, and it works excellently the battery also lasts longer, it doesn't drain when you aren't using it.

Very fun to play with and portable. Graphics are great and nice

I personally like the playstation portal. It’s comfortable to hold and convenient to use around the house especially if you have kids. One downfall is it doesn’t connect to the PlayStation sometimes even when on rest mode. So make sure you got somebody home to restart your PlayStation, in case you can’t connect away from home. I played Spider-Man Miles Morales flawlessly along with Mortal Kombat 1. I can’t wait till they add cloud streaming. 

It's actually a fairly solid device that has surprised me. It can still be better. For the price and the functionality, it is pretty impressive. What really surprised me was that I was at my friends house 50 miles away in the next county. He has very good internet and solid wifi connectivity at his house. I was trying to show him the thing by connecting to his PS5. And that did not work well at all, in fact it got stuck and I had trouble getting out of an error screen. Then when I finally was able to get back to the home screen, it did something I wasn't expecting. After about 30 seconds. It told me that it had connected to my PS5 back home. A bit surprised I connected and proceeded to play a Contra demo, which requires some decent quickness to play the game well enough to beat it. And then I showed my friend the FF7 Rebirth demo, set the game to performance mode because there's no point playing a 30fps mode when the resolution is set to 1080p. And it ran at a slightly stuttered 60fps mode. Some odd artifacts from time to time, but overall. I was playing a very nice high production game at a very smooth framerate. My friend immediately took notice and became interested in the device. Obviously it boils down to you being somewhere with a good wifi connection and also having a good overall inter et connection. But for $200, you can play some really nice games that run good enough to actually play them. The only thing I am still disappointed is the battery life. Bit eventually you will go somewhere where there's a wall plug

The build overall is solid. 4 starts because personally I don't use it that often. I'm always drawn to go back to the PS5-TV experience. It is a shame that in order to really enjoy the experience you need a very stable WIFI signal, although I understand that being the case. I expected the joystick feeling being the same as the one from the Dualsense, but that's not the case. The joystick are significantly smaller and for someone like me with big hands and fingers the experience wasn't that comfortable. I would say if you are the type of gamer that enjoys FPS games then stay clear from it, nor comfortable at all for that. I struggled playing RDR2 every time I had to shoot (so imagine games like BF or COD). Again, it there was a 3.5 star rating I would rate it like that, but 4 seems fair too since I'm basing it purely on my tastes and experiences with it. I used probably 5 times, no more than 2 hours per sitting. For me having ~$200 laying around with little to no use is not worth it.

The controls fit perfectly in your hands unlike the switch. The battery life is really good. The graphics are amazing and I didn’t really see any lag while playing as llong as you have a good WiFi connection. If you are someone who wants to play while your tv is in use, or just to play on the couch or elsewhere in the house vs being front of the tv or monitor its a great device.

Nice game, has some issues to get it connected but works well.

awesome, very helpful to have with a large family and able to still play games without bothering others in the home.

This console add value to any PS user. The device works connected to your main console or on its own. You can stream games (with a plus memebership) off your library or off the free plus games. No game needs to be downloaded on to the device, which is nice. I find it useful, since you can use the console and this device simultaneously. There is a great selection of games to stream from. You do need WiFi to stream, and I have not had any issues playing this in my network or public ones. It is not meant to replace you console, but it is a nice device to have. It’s light enough that even young kids can use it. My kids love it.

Get one! If you play games like 2d RPGs ,games like balatro, or old schools remakes this thing is a solid buy. Playing final fantasy tactics on this was so perfect.

I like it and it's definitely cool but I don't think you absolutely need it. It's very convenient of you travel or like to watch TV and play games but it can be a little slow and is very dependant on your internet. Cool product tho and $200 is a reasonable price.

Probably one of my favorite pieces of tech. Being able to play when I travel or somebody else’s occupying that TV I can still play my game and not watch love is blind. Definitely with all the updates that they continuously push.

Works great. Streaming works flawlessly and the screen is better than expected

This cater to a very specific audience. If you’re out of the house and around WiFi this is a great thing to own. Wish it was Bluetooth, wish the input lag was a little better and wish you could install apps. I reach for this when I’m not at home and I need to grind a couple of weekly challenges before the week is out. Hopefully one day an update makes this a standalone device
