Sick System
I was on the fence about this one since you can’t play without WiFi and can only play whatever disc that is in the PS5. I’m old school and I like having the physical disc as opposed to buying digital cause you cant sell a digital game like you can the disc version. I opened the box and was blown away at how beautiful and how big the screen is. The controls fit perfectly in your hands unlike the switch. The battery life is really good. The graphics are amazing and I didn’t really see any lag while playing as llong as you have a good WiFi connection. The $200 price is not that bad for what you’re getting. I definitely recommend buying a case for it. The portal controls take over your PS5. I know video games are going towards all digital in the future so my physical games are gonna be obsolete some day so now that I have the Portal it has changed my mind and Im going to start buying digital games because this thing is so awesome. With all that being said I definitely recommend getting one, you wont be disappointed!

Excellent Device for Playstation Owners
The PlayStation Portal is an Excellent Device for Remote play. The Ergonomics on it allow for a great long play experience. The key to it is having a good networking environment at home, having a good router and a wired PlayStation is the optimal way for it to work well for your needs. It has a long battery life and great looking screen. It’s a great addition for people who want to have a simplified remote play experience at home or even depending on where you are with decent WiFi you can play outside of the home as well. The biggest cons for it are the lack of bluetooth which is due to some inherent latency issues, vs using their official devices. But your mileage may vary if you use a 3.5mm to Bluetooth adapter. You can also use wired headphones with it. Overall if you are someone who wants to play while your tv is in use, or just to play on the couch or elsewhere in the house vs being front of the tv or monitor its a great device. I recommend considering your use cases for the device. There are various options you do have that may be cheaper or cost more with some sacrifice to ergonomics or convenience. You can go for a backbone for 100 dollars paired to your phone but then you may have interruptions to your gaming session. You can go for a tablet with a dualsense controller but you may have limited seating positions while playing, and also have certain interruptions on the device. You can go for some of the other cloud devices that may do more but cost at least 50-100 dollars more or way higher if you go for a PC handheld and there are tradeoffs on battery life, and screen size etc. Overall this is a great device that does as advertised and is a good option when you consider your use case for it.

Great peripheral for the price.
These were very hard to find in stock so I was very elated to finally get one. Out of the box the device looks and feels very sleek. It’s probably the most comfortable handheld gaming device I’ve ever held. If you like the the PS5 controller you’ll feel right at home. The screen is the perfect size and looks very vibrant. Be mindful of where you sit because it picks up alot of glare from lighting or the sun which makes it hard to see. The sound is very ample and there is a 3.5mm headphone jack. The one thing I noticed was when I first started playing a game, it seemed the there was some latency. I have very fast internet at home, but for some reason the games weren’t running as well as I thought they should. So I went online and saw that there was a tip of unplugging the hdmi cable from your PS5 when playing the PS Portal. Make sure to unplug it before you turn on the ps5 from the portal. To my surprise it worked and the Portal was running games great. The solution is kind of a nuisance, but did not ruin the experience. Overall, this is not the Playstation portable experience we’ve all been waiting for like a new PSVita, but if you own a PS5, I think this is a peripheral that while not essential, is very enjoyable, practical, and complimentary device for the system. For the price i’m very satisfied with it.
