It's nice, but it is not fit to use on the go due to slow internet connections. Being a hard-core PS legacy fan on consoles, portables, and speakers this product disappointed me. It shoul at least have a esim or sim port to get a internet service like a tablet or phone and it would be way better. I returned the ps portable

I love it, is a good design, feel great in your hands znd is perfect to used it if you are laying down on bed with your significant other or if you got only one tv snd is being use. I wish you could wash media like netflix, or disney plus but as a right now it's not possible. (Note: this is just like an extension of your main console)

Let’s me play where ever I want. Easy to set up and play. Had a few issues connecting but I understand it’s more with my network than the unit. Completely happy with it.

Excellent Sony product! Pairs perfectly with the PS5. Screen is HD and crisp. Games must be uploaded to the PS5 storage. If not, the game disc must be present in the PS5 to play remotely. Highly recommend a quality case and screen protector for the portal since it is a larger handheld device. Highly recommend for the gamer on the go, that does not always have the time to play while at home (or on the family TV).

I love the option to stream games. Sometimes the connection to my PS5 isn’t the best but that may just be due to my WiFi.

I didn’t expect to love this as much as I do. It’s super responsive and makes playing away from the TV a breeze.

Now that Sony has unlocked this to be able to connect from outside your home network (as long as you have good enough internet) makes this portal alot more usable and enjoyable for traveling.

Love the PS Portal But Have a Specific Use Case

I love the PlayStation Portal but I have a specific use case. My PS5 is in my living room and I want to play PS5 while in the bedroom while watching TV. This works well for this. The feel of the device feels great and it has a nice, large screen. I tried to use things like the Backbone but could never find a screen that was this large that would fix the Backbone. I really need to bigger screen to play these PS5 games. I can see this device could be a problem for someone that wants to play PS5 games outside the home. I have never tried doing this and don't see a use case where I would need to do that at this time.

When it works, its seamless and a very familiar experience thanks to dualsense controller. However, I couldn't neglect the LCD washed off colors when I played any game on an OLED screen.

I wanted this thing for a while. So happy it became in stock and I was able to purchase one. Ever since it arrived, I have played on the portal 100% of the time. I prefer playing handheld on this large beautiful screen. TVs give me a headache so playing on the portal has allowed me to play my games more often. I can finally forsee myself getting through my backlog. This is a must but product if you own the ps5 and want to play handheld. I haven’t had any connection issues while playing. I use T-Mobile home internet.

Works great and I use it all the time because the tv I have my PS5 hooked up to is the prinary tv for the house. I do have a few issues. 1. You can’t change profiles easily, you have to sign out of your account on the portal and sign into another. 2. You can’t watch videos on it. I wouldn’t have expected this to be a problem but some games have cutscenes or short scenes that can’t be viewed on the portal. 3. Accessory options, I’d like a case and a screen protector or maybe a clip on power bank made for the portal but there aren’t many options. The few options i did find aren’t official.
