Love the gaming system it’s nice black and sleek and very portable. I love the online gaming on the go. It’s a must have system.

First off, I got this open box. It was a little dirty and the USB wire was missing. Once I cleaned it, it was in great condition.
The device itself does what it was meant to do but not without its hiccups. The PS5 needs to be wired for a satisfying experience. Also, I had to do port forwarding in order to connect to it outside of my home. With that done, I still occasionally have PS5 connection issues. It's usually remedied by disconnecting and reconnecting the Portal or manually starting up the PS5 (which kinda defeats the purpose of remote play). In the end, I'm happy with it. I'm actually playing more of my PS+ games library due to this thing. I see that as a win.

The PS portal is surprisingly convenient. When my wife wants to watch a movie on the TV, I can still play my PS5 through the PS portal. My son has also been very happy with the portal. A few things to note is that you would need to look for accessories in amazon. Also you have to connect the portal to your PS5 before you can use the PS portal when away from home. I can't think of any negatives to mention. Overall very convenient, and cheaper than most hand held devices.

After the newest update allowing game streaming, this is a must-have for those who travel and have access to good internet speeds. I have 1k Gbps internet at home, and it does not lag at all. Picture quality is amazing! The sound is really good, but it has a 35mm input if you have headphones, so you can save on buying Sony's dedicated accessory headsets. If you don't like it, return it. Then, someone else can get an open box and save $50 just like me!

Stream games very smoothly without delays, but I do have 2gbps speed, so if you have 100 mbps or less, it might have a lot of lag.

I have had the playstation portal for a week now and enjoy it very much. I would say it lags but very little though. Its convenient when you dont want to play somewwhere else around your house. I would reccomend you have fast internet to be able to enjoy portal.

A simple yet effective device

It's a great product and serves a very specific purpose. It streams games from your Playstation 5 to this handheld. Best used if your PS5 is on ethernet and connected to the same network as this handheld, AKA you're at home where the PS5 is. However, i recently traveled to Florida and was able to play Final Fantasy XVI, streamed from my PS5 in California, with still very usable input lag. Quality is amazing, setup is quick and easy, and the controller is basically a Dualsense cut in half (which is a good thing).
Drawbacks are lack of a web browser so you cannot connect to public wifi requiring a website agreement. No bluetooth so only audio options are built in speakers (they're okay), aux port, or PS Link headset/ear buds. Also i think this is a huge missed opportunity to allow support for game streaming classic PS1/2/3 titles via PS Plus. This could be a huge subscriber boost for Sony if they enabled PS Plus game streaming without the need of a PS5. Perhaps in the bext iteration.
