The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted before, but savvy gamers can now snag a used one at a bargain. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $158.70 shipped. This represents a significant 20% savings off the original $199 retail price. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty is uncertain, Amazon Resale items come with the same reassuring 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.

PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99
Save 21%
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New

Despite moderate packing damage noted during inspection, this PS Portal looks and functions as if it were brand new.

The PlayStation Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming experience. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between what resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. This device enables you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, complete with all the DualSense's hallmark features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. While it's perfect for gaming away from home, it requires a very stable, very fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player that necessitates a PS5 to operate.

Update: No PS5 Required for Game Streaming Sony has expanded the capabilities of the PS Portal, allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service without needing a PS5. Subscribers to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus can access 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. At $18 a month, this is a more budget-friendly option compared to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that you can achieve similar functionality at home with the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you may miss out on some DualSense 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."
