If you're eyeing a PlayStation Portal, you're in luck because Amazon Resale (formerly known as Amazon Warehouse) is currently offering a Used: Like New condition PS Portal for just $150.23 with free shipping. That's a fantastic 25% off the original $199 retail price. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty isn't guaranteed, you can rest easy knowing that Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given its popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.
Update: The price has dropped to $150.23, marking the lowest price we've seen for a Used: Like New unit.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5 console, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the DualSense's touchpad. While the Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, it requires a very stable, very fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it's designed to be a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 to function.
Update: Exciting news! You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can bypass the need for a $500 console and dive into a 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. To access this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique 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."
