It's a great device. Especially if you're into story games. But obviously you do need a PS5 unless you pay for the premium subscription which lets you stream games. But even then you need stable Wi-Fi, you need to know that you won't be able to access the library of games you already own. Only what ever PlayStation has put out for the month. Streaming from the PS5 isn't wow either. If you're playing an online multiplayer game like fortnite, rocket league, COD, etc. it's not very great. There is input lag. Not horrible but if you're a hardcore gamer you will absolutely notice. You can't stream YouTube or Netflix unfortunately. It's still great for story games, being comfortable on your bed and enjoying some games. So it's still worth it but you need to know the Cons.

I love my PSPortal. It's handy when I need it. Play your portal games or games you have saved on your console anywhere with high speed WiFi. I recommend getting a travel router for ease of connecting to the internet when you use it away from home.

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.

I was always skeptical of having to connect a PlayStation portal to my PlayStation at my home just to be able to have screen mirroring and control what’s happening on my PlayStation with the PlayStation portal. However, since Sony came out with the game, changing update a handful of months or so maybe a little longer back you no longer have to be in range of your PlayStation and Wi-Fi at home. You can play it your portable pretty much anywhere you could possibly imagine. As long as your game is downloaded on your PlayStation at home you can play the same game on the portal out in the world, not connected to any Internet at all unless you would like to hook your portal up to the hotspot on your phone if you have one but it is not required

So i bought this without owning a ps5. prior to the amazing new update, you had to have the ps5 in order to use the portal. But it is amazing as a stand alone device. i paid for a year of sonys top tier playstation service and got a ton of games from old classics to recent ps5 titles all on a 7 inch screen displaying 1080p!!!! i know the price went up, but if you want a ps5 or older experience without the actual systems, this is the way to go. but remember you have to buy the service to stream all the titles. but if you own a ps5 you can stream your own games without charge!!!!!

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.

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.

Sony.......TF? PSP was such an amazing experience. then decide hey instead of improving the PSP, scrap the idea and give us the PS Portal. Though it plays well on a strong WI-FI streaming is all its good for no storage to download. Sure you cam pair your console however, one has to be literally right next to it. PS Portal is found most wanting %26 your people need to do better. Why y'all being lazy?

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.

Can’t take it anywhere because it won’t work away from console, it’s supposed to be portable and that was the point of buying it, poor view quality. It was a gift for my gamer daughter and she hasn’t been able to use it because of this issues. She was excited when she received it but then disappointed because she couldn’t use it. Waste of money.
