    Great way to play PS5 games remotely. The screen is big and has great picture quality for an LCD. It runs very smoothly. Would've looked better with an OLED screen, but that would increase its cost. Overall excellent product.

    There are a few dumb restrictions either built into the thing (no streaming streamed games) or there because of legal whatever (you're not going to be watching anything on here, thanks DRM laws), but otherwise a pretty good product for what it is.

    it wasn’t as expected, even with playing many ps5 games on it. i barely use it now, really looking to sell it. i just got bored with it, but its an incredible product overall for those that game freely

    Bought mine and returned within 2 weeks. Even with great internet at 500mps the lag was crazy from the ps5 to the portal. I would play spiderman, god of war and ghosts of Tsushima and all the controls wouldn’t respond quick enough if at all. Those game require precise parrying and dodging and the portal just wants doing it right. No problems on the PlayStation itself, just the portal. Also advertised that you can be somewhere completely different connected to a different WiFi than the ps5 itself. But you still have to physically turn on and log into the ps5…. So that completely defeats the purpose. If you could actually turn on the ps5 with the portal that would be different but you can’t. Unless you’re running a very simple game with low processing then the portal is just a waste of money. FYI even a game as basic as Astrobot lagged.

    Love the idea of it but wasn’t always the smoothest gameplay. The battery life wasn’t the greatest either.

    I bought an open box excellent condition and it didn't even look like it had been used. The only downside is the Portal has to be on the same network as the PS5 but if you only have on TV it allows you to play without taking up the TV.

    The best way to play your PS5 games remotly. It has its probs like some buffering and some lack but it all depends of the quality of the connection you use. Other than that; it is a wonderful device,

    Great item for remote play. The screen is sufficiently big for open world games. The control handles are just as the PS5 controllers. Easy to set up and only needs WiFi. It can have some lagging depending on how fast your WiFi is. All in all it’s a great product

    I really like it, I know there’s more options to stream your ps5 but once you’re able to do it on the portal you see the difference right away. The dualsense controller is the original experience and nothing can match it except this, the screen is great also.
