Even if you only have one tv you can still play your PlayStation 5 and watch your movies thru tour cable network! This device is a PS5 on the go with your account. Lets say your cousing want to play your play station with his own account, well he can just by making a account in the PlayStation. He can play while your not playing. So is family shared device is great !

Good product from Sony, but to use you need good wifi and can not play it at all unless is connected to your ps5 via wifi with playstation on rest mode back home. Would be good to have an offline option to play it like the psp.

Wonderful concept, but diluted experience.

I was excited for this. I primarily got this to play my PS5 in different rooms, rather than having to lug the console around. I'm a bit of a tech snob, I play on an OLED and I lean towards performance when given the option.
I used it a few times - I have a hardwired PS5 and good wifi (500MB). When I was in the room with the playstation, it was great connectivity but even traveling to other rooms, the image quality did break a little. Never prevented me from playing, but shook my confidence in the device. Otherwise, the 1080 screen was beautiful, and the games I played in 60fps looked great.
I love how it felt to hold - extremely comfortable and really helped with the immersion factor.
The battery life is pretty bad - maybe 3-4 hours on default settings. Reducing haptic feedback or volume can get you a bit more, but I love the haptic feedback feature and usually like to crank it. That being said, even at full power, the haptics on this device are much more subtle compared to playing on a regular controller.
Finally, small thing, but the trackpad button on this is a bit non-intuitive -- touching the screen opens up the trackpad button on screen overlayed atop the game and isn't super easy to work with.
At the end of the day, this is a streaming device that your PS5 casts to, and as such provides a diluted experience from the full power of playing on console on a nice TV with haptics cranked up. I love the concept, and it does allow portable play, but for the cost, I personally would rather just save up the extra cash for a second PS5 to be able to play elsewhere.

The PlayStation Portal is great fun! It serves the purpose I bought it for, which is to be able to play a game while the tv is being used someone else AND to play in bed. I used to rarely turn on my playstation, but now I use it all the time. Really a great device. It would be perfect if it had Bluetooth to connect wireless ear buds.

I Miss the PSP.

I miss the PSP. It was a standalone product there's nothing wrong with the portal but it's not very efficient. You must have very good Wi-Fi and even then it's not very good with online games. The joysticks are extremely fragile I've already had to replace the portal once due to stick drift. I would not recommend this product.

Device is of good quality, buttons and sticks feels like the real PS5 controller. Screen is sharp and bright. Speakers could have been better placed. Requires strong internet connection. Caution: Currently doesn't connect to public Wi-fi (ones that require web browsers) like hotels and some coffee shops.

Excellent screen . Works well with wifi 6 router. No glitches or drops in my condo. Really a pleasure to hold the games instead of always off the TV across the room.
Not yet tried remotely, but I've used remote play on android and know what to expect (it's great when it works :)
