connects pretty simple. screen is large and vivid. horrible battery life for such a large item. spotty connection link at times and have to put in airplane mode and back to connect. i wish there were a micro sd slot for more function to play movies, pics, storage and such. sony has a limited imagination and drastically limited the ps5 compared to the ps3. Come on you can't even play an avi file and selective on most others, but i ramble which has nothing to do with the portal. i will be taking it on the road once the case arrives and see how it works. i don't think you will have any regrets, just limitations. they gotta do better and seems they have plateaud instead of pushing the boundary. it is nice to play games while the tv is used by others without bothering them. YouTube says you can play the portal without buying a system, but you need to do your own research

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a fathers day gift ... Don't know to much about games ... But the website helps me find what I needed and gave a detailed description of my product ... Easy to find ... And insurance for the product was affordable as well

The PS5 is my main system and this PS Portal extends my ability to play if I want to hang out in my bedroom or outside of my home when on trips. Once the wi-fi and port forwarding fixes were made, it has worked like a dream. Solid piece of hardware built on the Backbone idea and made it look/feel like a first-party experience.

The portal is not what i expected it's even BETTER!! I absolutely love this thing i take witb me everywhere i run it of my phone's hot spot and now play during my lunch break at work or laying down on the bed in another room of my house. Best gift to myself in a long time.

Totally not worth it … it’s basically a psp doesn’t let u watch your videos just games isn’t ultra Hd like the switch and barely holds your connection away from home … wish I don’t buy it … but same time I can watch my shows in the ligingvroom and game

When you get it set up it works really well. Setup is easy, but when I updated it lost all the settings and I had to sync it up again with my PS5. The screen is very nice, though, and the response is fast. If you hav a PS5 and like to play in bed, when others are watching the TV, or on the go (with Wifi) I'd recommend.

This is amazing. I have no complaints but you do need a really good internet connection in order to use it.otherwise it’s perfect.i have no regrets. I love not being stuck in one room to play my PlayStation games(specifically Fortnite) i can go outside and touch grass while gaming lol in-fact i can even lay down in the grass soaking up the sun while gaming.plus it’s comfortable to use unlike the switch as i have a mixed connective tissue disease and certain gaming systems hurt my hands but the portal is perfect and doesn’t cause me pain.highly recommend especially for people who love their PlayStation but don’t wanna be stuck in one room or even the house.

I liked the portal until I was literally sitting next to the PlayStation and was losing connection and the screen was constantly fuzzy/blurry to where I could barely see what I was doing so I did end up returning the portal. I also, don’t like how you cannot play the play station on a different account the same time as someone else was playing the portal on a separate account.

The Portal’s overall build quality and presentation is great. Unboxing and setup is simple. Giving you the option to play without the tv tied up is a nice choice to have, if anyone else is watching something or playing another console on it. There can be some issues with connection depending on your network and it takes some technical knowledge to get it running 100% smoothly. But most games it runs flawlessly. Battery life isn’t terrible but it does seem to run low rather fast.

absolutely love this thing but sometimes it takes a long time to connect or it doesn’t connect at all. Doesn’t happen often enough to really be an issue but there is also a noticeable lag or latency between pressing the button %26 seeing the reaction on screen but again, this happens rarely %26 is not that big of an issue.
