Comfortable, sleek, crisp screen, nearly zero lag on high speed internet- i have a Rog Ally- and this is wayyyy more comfortable for long playing sessions. Majority of negative reviews are people that didnt get the item or they have medicore internet speeds. Worth $200, but should be priced at $150 mark imo.

Booting up the device and shutting it down is a bit clunky and my playstation shows that the controller is always fully charged, even when it is nearly dead. Gameplay is good, but it does occasionally lag and drop framerate. Not a replacement for a tv, but it means tou can use the playstation when the tv is otherwise being utilized.

Before I made my purchase, I went into my local Best Buy and tried to purchase it in person but didn’t realize that the item I wanted was a popylar item and hard to get. I then was advise to check the BestBuy.com and sure enough, I got it the same day. Best Buy is the best company and ranked one of the highest customer satisfaction!

Great little handheld, if your on the fence about purchasing one I will say that I’ve had zero problems with the portal, I’m about to use it at work on slow days, COD is a little delayed because of so much going on, but playing superstar mode on madden, Carter on 2K it works flawless, also about to run GT7 smoothly as well, it feels great in your hand as well. Go get you one

It’s basically a controller. There are definitely cheaper options! But worth the $100 difference from its counterparts

This is simplely a WiiU tablet in sleek form. Honestly its a hood start to a trend in gaming. Rather it needs to a wifi or a NFC type device, it is yet to seen. When i home with no one else, performs at A level. When the house is full and late night, it starts to hitch up a lot frequently. Beats not playing at all.

It's pretty good if you want to play offline games but if you want to play online multiplayer games it sucks, keeps disconnecting from WIFI and blurs out a lot. I have amazing internet and it keeps doing it.

Good product ,
Was packed in an actually box and not a label on the production box. Obviously they didnt want it to be known a Playstation Portable was being delivered

It’s better than I thought. You definitely have to have great WiFi connectivity to play games without lag or slow speeds. But overall it’s works really well.

This device is decent when it works. I did my research before buying it and after so many reviews on YouTube I understood I was taking a gamble. This device will work well or not at all depending on your WiFi. You might need to consider purchasing a device to amplify your WiFi connection if there are other people in your home streaming or just using the WiFi in general. As far as ease of use this device is pretty self explanatory and it doesn’t have many options for optimizing performance. I have seen some reviews about people taking it on trips and to different places but this device is not a Legion go or any other type of handheld that acts as a mini computer or even a small portable console like a Nintendo switch. For all of those hoping to use this device and have 0 issues especially when using it outside your home, BEWARE. The signal would drop from time to time and it would log me out. There is also a stutter that occurred from time to time but it’s alright for story mode games. For competitive online shooters like Fortnite and MWW it is HORRIBLE. Very laggy. This product is made for a very specific audience like myself who has kids. This is perfect to have around the house when the family is occupying the TV or computer. It is definitely overpriced for what it is. If this device was closer to $99 I would’ve understood. Also in regards for audio I would give it a 5/10. The sound isn’t very clear without any type of headphones. That being said another thing to consider. I have the Sony buds and the portal will not connect to those. I have to connect them to my PS5 and then mute the portal and the sound form the ps5 will continue into the buds. Overall I ended up returning this device after about a month. Wasn’t terrible but not worth the money with all the headaches that it brings.

This is for a small demographic but I feel I am the audience. There are times when I just want to lay in bed and play games or my son is using the TV for something else. I think it works well if you have a decent router, but if you don’t I would stay away because the experience will probably be awful.

Under the right circumstances, Portal does a solid job! If you follow advice of how to get the best network stuff figured out, works well. I can complete backlog games from the comfort of any room in the house.

This was something that I never knew I needed. It gives me the ability to play my games while my kids and wife can still watch the tv. I’ve been able to catch up on games I’ve been meaning to play for awhile.
