    This device worked flawlessly! the only thing that didnt work for me was the screen size. I dont see very well close up so the small screen was not good for me (im old). So I did end up returning it which was easy. I love Best Buy!

    The PlayStation Portal is an incredible device for remote gaming! It's sleek and portable, making it easy to take my PS5 experience on the go. The 8-inch screen is vibrant and delivers a crystal-clear picture. The DualSense controller integration is seamless, providing the same immersive experience as playing on a PS5. The battery life is decent, and the setup process is quick and straightforward. Overall, the PlayStation Portal is a fantastic way to enjoy PS5 games on the go, and I highly recommend it to any PS5 owner!

    The PlayStation Portal provides a sleek and focused method to enjoy your PS5 games remotely with its impressive 8-inch LCD screen and DualSense wireless controller, making it an appealing option for dedicated gamers. Priced at $200, the device offers a premium experience with its 60 fps capability, although its single-purpose nature might not justify the cost for those who prefer using multi-functional devices like phones or tablets for Remote Play. Despite this, the seamless integration and exclusive features may provide enough incentive for enthusiasts seeking an enhanced, uninterrupted gaming experience at home.

    Its good for what it is and only for what its meant for if you havent really paid attention to it then read up before you finally are able to get one no it does not have its own games it does not have a browser it cant play music or videos it cant download anything and does not have Bluetooth BUT it does enhance the remote play experience feels better then using a backbone it has ergonomics of an actual controller with a mini tablet in the middle and there is less lag when compared to using my phone its just not the same when you clip your phone to a holder attached to a controller you have that top weight but with the portal its like a feather it is a bit awkward to carry around there arent any cases for these things yet so you gotta be careful yes its overpriced i think 150 wouldve been good and yes you waste less with a gamesir galileo G8 or a backbone or a razer kishi or a controller clip but the experience isnt the same if you really want this be patient keep looking DO NOT buy it for more then 220 dont go to fb and meet up somone selling it for 300 keep looking and be patient

    I own an ROG ally and trully like to play on couch while playing some movie or whatever. Doing the same with the PS5 seemed like an intriguing idea. Price point is higher than I would like but it does not mean is overpriced. Just pricey. The built quality is up to par with other PS accessories. Panel colors are really crisp and smooth. Set up is very easy from opening box to playing remote. Only feature missing imo is cloud gaming. As of right now is not possible to do anything without a PS5 remotely connected. The propierary wireless audio is a big negative.

    Don't trust the 1 star reviews. It's awesome!

    Being part of the portal nation, i see all these 1 stars and i think those are trash reviews. I have never seen lag in any of my games that i've played and it's been super smooth. Setup to your ps5 is super easy also. Compared to a steamdeck, you're losing in many fields, but you're winning in price of the device, not including the ps5, and couple other things. The device is very light and feels great on your hands. Steamdeck has a good feel but has a heftier feel. Portal also has no huge fan running. It's super quiet. Only bad things is there's no bluetooth support and external controller support. As a dad that plays at odd times, sound is not that much of an issue and I can just play on the device. It is great! those 1 star reviewers are probably putting their ps5 on wifi or their network is not great, but I don't have the best internet, i get 100 mbps, with my kids device, wife's phone, and the apple tv running. It's not an issue. You have to plug in your ps5 to your router for best result and not plug into a wifi extender either. You have to set yourself up for the best results. There's a reason why it's sold out.

    I have owned this product before, it was a fun product to have. The Wi-Fi can always be a tricky situation, it is fun to have when you have great service and just want to play your PS games. I do wish I could have better access to my downloaded games.
