The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted before, but now you can snag a used one at a great price. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, is currently offering the PlayStation Portal in "Used: Like New" condition for just $156.02, including shipping. This represents a significant 20% savings off the original retail price of $199. While a Sony warranty may or may not be included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the demand, these units are expected to sell out quickly.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. The Portal allows you to stream your games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has now enabled the streaming of games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means that Portal owners can connect either to their PS5 as before or directly to Sony’s cloud servers, accessing a library of over 120 games, including titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Note that to enjoy this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more attractive option than purchasing a $500 console and spending an additional $70 per game.
It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting it up is more complicated, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
