Amazon Slashes $50 Off Used PlayStation Portal: New Price Drop

The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been offered at a discount—until now. You can snag a Used: Like New condition PS Portal from Amazon Resale for just $150.23, shipped. This represents a significant 25% savings off the original $199 retail price for a new unit. While a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale's 30-day return policy offers peace of mind. Given the popularity, we expect these to 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 unit looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage was noted during inspection.

The PlayStation Portal transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen sandwiched between what looks like an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It enables you to stream your PS5 games at up to 60fps, complete with the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that takes the place of the traditional touchpad. For streaming outside your home, you'll need a very stable, very fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.

Update: Exciting news for PS Portal owners: you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy gaming on the go. Sony has introduced a feature allowing direct streaming from its PlayStation Now cloud service. This means you can access over 120 games, including hits like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, without a PS5. To take advantage of this, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 per month, is far more affordable than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth noting that the PS Portal isn't your only option for streaming PS5 games within your home. The PS Remote Play app can be used on other devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, but setting it up is more complex and lacks some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal has won me over despite my initial skepticism. It offers a far superior experience to using a phone with a clip-on controller. The freedom to play my PS5 games from anywhere with good WiFi coverage is a game-changer, especially when my family is using the TV for other games. While it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5 to function, the main drawbacks are its inability to connect to WiFi networks that require a web browser for login and the lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, the Portal is currently the best option for PlayStation Remote Play and a must-have for PS5 owners looking for a handheld gaming solution."
