New Price Drop: Save $50 on Used, Like-New PlayStation Portal at Amazon
The PlayStation Portal, despite never having been discounted as a new unit, is now available at a reduced price through Amazon Resale, which is essentially a rebranded Amazon Warehouse. You can snag a Used: Like New condition PS Portal for just $150.23 shipped, marking a significant 25% savings off its original $199 retail price. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty is uncertain, Amazon Resale items are covered by the same 30-day return policy as new products. Given the popularity of this deal, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.
Update: The price has now dropped further to $150.23, marking the lowest price we've seen for a Used: Like New PS Portal.

The unit looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming console by streaming games at up to 60fps. It retains the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and replaces the touchpad with a touchscreen interface. The Portal allows you to stream games even when away from home, provided you have access to a stable, fast 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 enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature that enables streaming games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5. This means Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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 utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month, a more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth noting that the PS Portal isn't the only option for streaming PS5 games within your home. You can achieve similar functionality using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complicated, and you'll miss out on some DualSense features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations and turned my initial skepticism into genuine appreciation. It offers a superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller, and it performs far better than I had anticipated. I cherish the flexibility it provides to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi, particularly when the TV is occupied by others playing the Switch. Although it's not a standalone device and absolutely requires a PS5 to function, the Portal's current limitations include the inability to connect to WiFi that requires a web browser login and the lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these drawbacks, it remains the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play available today. Without these limitations, it would be an essential purchase for every PS5 owner who enjoys handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
