Very nice. I was looking forward to getting this and I am not disappointed. Fairly good size screen and good lasting battery. The only downfall is that if your WiFi is unstable it can cause a bit lagging in your game play. Overall, good purchase.

First couple of hours with it and I’m satisfied. Easy setup, didn’t take too long. My WiFi is decent so all of my time streaming was smooth. I first tried a remote playing with Halo disc in my system. Smooth, no issues at all. I then streamed a game from my library and it was very smooth. The screen is nice, the volume is good, %26 again, I’m satisfied. Does what I need it to do, well.

A nice investment

I bought this as a birthday gift to myself %26 I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised by how smooth it’s been going. In house connected to the WiFi it’s marvelous no issues whatsoever %26 u don’t even need to turn on your tv which saves on electricity. If you’re someone on the go you will need a PlayStation Plus Premium membership for around $22/month %26 a nice amount of reliable Hotspot.

Portal

I absolutely love my portal! I can finally see all the little things in the sims4 so I can fully decorate everything. So cool! Even my Xbox friends want one. Would make an awesome gift for a PlayStation player. It’s affordable and super easy to set up.

Not as as Perfect as I was expecting

The PlayStation Portal worked pretty good overall, just wasn’t exactly what I expected at first. It’s not a standalone gaming system, so you do need a PS5 at home with good WiFi for it to really work right. When the internet is strong it actually plays pretty smooth and looks good. But if your internet isn’t great, it can get laggy and the frames drop sometimes. Still a cool device though if you already got solid internet and a PS5 setup.

Wait for next gen of this item.

Your PS5 needs to be turned on, and be nearby the console. Else, you need to pay for PS Plus Premium for cloud steaming of your game. More than 10 ft away from console, unit often disconnects. Reconnecting sometimes takes more than one try. I run on Verizon home internet with the white cube. Use it to keep game running, while waiting for the bounty on my head to clear in ESO. Also good while sitting on toilet. No center pad button. Annoying to manage tap on screen to bring up map, or call my horse in ESO.

Connection problems galore, only one PSN ID

Constant wifi/router disconnects. You can only use it with one PSN ID at a time. When it works, it is golden but there are so many connection problems.

I sat directly next to my primary router/access point (deco xe75 pro) which is the same room as my PS5 and tried to stream MLB The Show; The latency was so terrible even with the "update." It's a beautiful pile of poop [I wanted to use other language but the Wal-Mart filter cried about it]. You can do an equally crappy job with your cellphone and a controller for free. Can only imagine this is a sign of things to come in an all digital Playstation future. Hopefully this review encourages you to no look pass on this thing.

It’s easy to step up but still difficult to work

Bigger headache within 24 hours. I brought it and attempted to play with this but you either need to have WiFi where you can make like a guest WiFi or personal hotspot only for the portal. I have internet but I guess since it was with my apartment the portal never wanted to connect but when I put it on my phone personal hotspot it would work. The only thing is it will lag or disconnect. But again having maybe better WiFi then I had or it’s on personal hotspot, setting it up is easy and it was easy it just didn’t like my WiFi lol but it’s very pretty sucks I returned it too much of a headache

Glitching %26 Unpairing issues

To be honest I was so excited this was a gift for my husband I bought it brand new not open box not refurbished, but the portable we had was glitching and it kept unpairing from the ps5, that was really annoying and very disappointing. So, I send it back.
