    I love the Portal and its portability. I hate that you HAVE TO HAVE IT CONNECTED TO YOUR PS5 and it’s not Cloud streaming(they haven’t ruled it out in the future). The Portal has a great display and uses same form factor of the PS5 Dualsense with the addition of a huge screen in the middle. I will say the Analog sticks are 1/3 smaller than the console DualSense though and that may be an issue to some. Now to the service…. Sony hasn’t released a patch or an update to support the bit rate of the Portal to match the console(understandable to a degree) so it causes an issue at times with gameplay and the mismatch bitrates. Lastly, the lack of update has made it somewhat of a paperweight in some cases. A lot of people play seamlessly but others aren’t so lucky because of the Portal disconnecting every 10 secs. It’s really a luck of the draw if it’ll work for you but if it does, it’s well worth it. If it doesn’t then you may want to return it or wait til a software update/patch comes to plug the holes. Great device. Just needs some TLC from Sony. They’ve been practically hush about it besides them being surprised it sold more than they originally thought

    The PlayStation Portal is great but not perfect

    Full disclosure. This accessory to the PS5 is a lot of fun to use, but its not perfect. The purpose of this PS5 accessory is to be able to play your games via remote play “only” over wifi, ideally in your home where your PS5 resides. It is possible to play away from your home with a wifi source, but the experience isn’t as good in my testing. I would consider my home setup to be the perfect scenario to use the Portal. I have 1 gig fiber for my internet provider and a high end Wifi 6e router hardwired to my PS5 in my living room. I’m generally 6 to 10 feet from my router while using my Portal and while I haven’t experienced any drop out or delay connecting to my PS5 or my sons PS5 (his is on wifi) I have noticed frame drops and screen tearing on mainly multi player games such as Call of Duty MW3 or Fortnite. I only had one noticeable frame drop on Spiderman 2, but nothing that would make the experience lackluster. Its great to have essentially a PS5 controller and everything it has to offer wrapped around a very nice looking 8” screen. It really feels like a high end portable system even though its just a remote player. Hopefully Sony will have an update in the near future to help make the playability more seamless and more features to unlock. The positives out weigh the negatives for sure. If your like me and have more than just yourself in your household, then I would recommend this $200 accessory as it is a lot of fun to have your PS5 in the palm of your hand.

    Got this as a gift from my wife as a way to stop taking up the main TV. Was skeptical at first, but it works great. I have more issues from my Internet provider than the device itself. Plus with the new update you can use cloud gameplay!

    Recently picked up a PlayStation Portable, and it completely brought back the joy of handheld gaming for me. The design is sleek, the screen is bright, and the controls feel natural. I’ve been replaying God of War and Midnight Club, and the gameplay still holds up after all these years. It's amazing how something this old can still feel so fresh and fun. Definitely worth it for any gamer or collector looking for a portable classic.

    Originally, it was a remote play device, but with a recent update, it allows you to stream games from Sony (with a premium subscription), which is pretty cool. The games catalog is quite extensive, featuring some top titles. Unfortunately, I found myself not playing it much because the latency that was occasionally noticeable, and the quality would drop. Even when it worked well, I had to stay fairly close to my router, and even then there were occasional hiccups. Maybe my internet wasn’t good enough (500 Mbps).

    I purchased this PlayStation Portal with a bit of skepticism thinking that it was going to be just a waste of money and without any value. But I’m going to be honest. This is the best addition to my PS5 any should have. This is so easy to use that it requires no effort to connect to your console and start playing. The feel of the controller is just was of you were holding the controller and the screen is so big that it is just perfect. I do have issues with conectivity when I’m outside of my home but the is also because of the internet I connect to. When connected to a reliable internet, the games are flawless just like if you were playing directly from the console. Another perk about this that I love is that when my wife wants to watch tv I can grab my Portal and play while she is watching tab. No more being upset of not being able to watch tv while I’m playing. At the end of the day. Yes this is a remote play like if it was from your phone but the feel is so much better. Thank you Sony for such a device. You can’t go wrong buying this.
