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 kids love playing their PlayStation on this while they listen to music. It is similar to the switch but better graphics. The transition from the PlayStation on the monitor to this product was easy.

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

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.

I'm so glad i bought mine when i did (a few days ago). the price has already jumped $50 since then. Even at the new price point, its absolutely worth it imo. i have really good internet, and theres almost no lag when streaming PS5 titles. Im an Xbro (XboX), but wanted to play Spiderman. i wasnt willing to shell out $900 to do so either. Now i can play Spiderman all i want, its awesome!

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.

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.

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?

not worth the money you still need a PS5 and if you don't have super fast Internet connection forget it the portal just a experience paper weight just buy a switch 2 and call it a day

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.
