The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted when purchased new. However, savvy shoppers can now snag a Used: Like New condition PS Portal from Amazon Resale for just $150.23, a 25% saving off the original $199 price tag. These units look and function as if they were brand new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection. Although a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale's 30-day return policy offers the same peace of mind as buying new. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.
Update: The price has now dropped to $150.23, marking the lowest price we've seen for a Used: Like New unit.

The PS Portal is essentially an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a handheld gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It mirrors the DualSense's features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a stable, fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This gives access to 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 utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, costing $18 a month—a much more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth mentioning that the PS Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. The PS Remote Play app can be downloaded on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced 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."
