The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted before, but you can now snag a great deal on a used one. Amazon Resale (formerly known as Amazon Warehouse) is currently offering Used: Like New condition PS Portals for just $150.23 shipped. These units typically retail for $199 when new, so this represents a significant 25% savings. While a Sony warranty may or may not be included, you still benefit from Amazon's standard 30-day return policy, just as if you were buying new. Given the popularity of this deal, 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 PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld accessory designed for the PS5, resembling an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen seamlessly integrated into the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the advanced features of the DualSense controller, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. While the Portal allows you to play games even when away from home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. It's important to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's a remote player that necessitates a PS5 for operation.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a new feature enabling users to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 as before or directly to Sony’s cloud servers, accessing a vast 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. Remember, you'll need a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus to take advantage of this feature, but at $18 a month, it's a far more cost-effective option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, you can achieve similar functionality using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or 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 signature features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy
"The PlayStation Portal is an unexpectedly delightful device. Initially skeptical, I was won over by its seamless performance and the freedom it offers to play my PS5 games from anywhere with a good WiFi connection. It's particularly handy when the family is using the TV for other consoles like the Switch. However, it's not a standalone device; it requires a PlayStation 5 to function. The main drawbacks are its inability to connect to WiFi networks that require a web browser for login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, the Portal is the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play currently available, making it a highly recommended accessory for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share their TV."
