The PlayStation Portal, a unique handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted until now. You can now snag a Used: Like New condition unit on Amazon Resale for just $150.23, shipped. This represents a significant 25% savings off the original $199 retail price. While a Sony warranty might not be included, Amazon Resale items are covered by the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, we anticipate these units 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 PlayStation Portal.

The unit looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage observed during inspection.
The PS Portal, designed by Sony, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes the traditional touchpad. While it supports streaming games outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature enabling users to stream games directly from PlayStation Now's cloud streaming service. This means Portal owners can choose to connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, unlocking access to 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. Note that you need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is far more cost-effective than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.
It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only option for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's distinctive 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."
