The screen is amazing. Being able to play my PS5 games while traveling or when im laying in bed while it is in a different room is amazing. It is surprising comfortable in the hands.

This is a great buy! I’m able to travel and play. It’s a little different than actually playing but still SO fun and worth it. Gotta have streaming pass to have the full experience. Hope you get to enjoy like I did!

Streaming issues are there even with decent Internet. I love the ergonomics and controls if the system. Being a streaming system hurts it. I've had worse play remote playing my ps5 as compared to the ps plus streaming beta. If you don't have the Internet didn't buy this. I currently have spectrum and still stutters and disconnects.

Bought this item for my sister on Christmas and not only it came on time and she loves it as well. Def trusting Best Buy to buy my stuff due to the accuracy of delivery information. Thank you

I purchased the Portal on release day and ended up returning it after a week. Software issues led to lots of stuttering in games, especially in scenes with lots of panning & motion. Control was nearly unplayable for me on the original system software due to this issue.
After a major software update (4.0) I heard these issues had been fixed and decided to give it another try. I'm happy to say that my experience is drastically different this time around. Games run near flawlessly and I don't notice any of the original issues that plagued the system on release.
Some open world games with lots of foliage (FFVII Rebirth) may still show slight signs of compression when the screen is in motion, but in terms of response times when buttons are pressed it feels really good.
If I had to critique the system, I wish the battery lasted longer and that the controller vibration was closer to the PS5 controllers. The vibration feels less precise overall.

It was tge perfect gift for my daughter. She actually said it was her #1 gift that she wanted. Guess what!? It was! It is such a great pleasure to watch her play EVERYWHERE!!!

If you have a PS5, go for it! It’s awesome. If you don’t and are interested in it due to the ability to stream games from the cloud without a Ps5, just know it’s only their curated catalogue of games similar to GamePass with an upper end PSN subscription, except the games suck a lot more with mostly ancient niche titles.

I never get to play my ps5 due to adulting. After getting ps portal I have already logged 90 hours on expedition 33. It is perfect device for a busy person that still wants to game.

Before I purchased, I had read a lot of reviews and many were from people like me. I’m a parent of two young kids, so being able to sit in front of a TV with my system set up just isn’t in the cards right now, so I went ahead and got this. I do like it but there’s definitely room for improvement.
I use a wired in ps5 but some games are tough to play due to lag input. It’s not my WiFi, my WiFi is consistently strong. Sometimes the screen glitches and it’s weird.
Some games play perfectly. Oddly some online games play better than offline games. Battlefield plays perfectly. Ghosts of Tsushima plays great. MLB is hard, there’s definite lag between when you hit the button to when the action is performed. Madden mostly plays great. NHL is a mess. I don’t think it can handle that fast constant action right now. I hope it’s something they can patch.
I have headphones that work but it seems like they only connect bc I have the dongle in the ps5. There’s somehow no Bluetooth on this thing which in 2024 seems wild.
Battery life is pretty good. I’d estimate 4-6 hours per charge which is pretty good IMO.
Feels like you’re holding a real controller. Gets a little heavy if you’re laying down holding it but nothing crazy.
Overall a cool product that I hope continues to improve.
Oh, one more thing, it’s sort of loud. You can really hear it working if that makes sense. Lots of clicks and buzzing at times. Is that normal?

Awesome way to game while my kids are using the TV! No doubt takes credit for finishing my first game of the year. Open box seriously seemed brand new. Was amazed by the new update allowing cloud streaming for PS+ Premium member
