The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never seen 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 25% saving off the original $199 retail price. While a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale offers the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. 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.

This unit looks and functions as if it were brand new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.
The PS Portal is essentially an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It mirrors the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. The Portal can stream games even outside your home, provided you have access to a stable, high-speed internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now's cloud streaming service. This means you 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, without a PS5. To utilize this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a more cost-effective option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games 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, setup is more complex, and you'll 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."
