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.

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.

Excellent for playing around the house (bathroom specially, hehehe). Just in case, this is not a console, it's an extension of your ps5 tv. And you must play near them using the same network. Factors to improve: make it a portable console, and decrease the screen weight. Picture: compare its size with a Nintendo Switch Oled.

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 purchased this PS5 controller and unfortunately it stopped working after a short time. The motherboard seems to be defective because the controller will not turn on or respond, even after resetting and trying different chargers. This was very disappointing because I expected better quality. I would recommend testing the controller immediately after purchase and keeping your receipt in case you need a return or exchange. Overall, not satisfied with this purchase and need an immediate replacement or refund . I need to be compensated

This product is pointless. Don’t get me wrong it works great but what’s the point of a small screen when you can watch it on tv at the same time. I was thinking my son could take it on the go. It doesn’t work without the ps5. So it just sits on my son’s dresser since Christmas.

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 mean what an upgrade from the PSP. A bit late jumping on the bandwagon but I’m glad I did after the new upgrade and now this beautiful device is truly living up to its potential. I purchased the PS Premium Subscription and I can play all my games on the moon as long as there is WiFi or Hotstop connection.

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.

When the Portal first launched, the streaming experience was a stuttery mess. Sony's official position was that this was your fault. Your Wi-Fi is bad. Your router is wrong. Have you tried being better at owning things? Classic Sony. Then a system update quietly rolled out and suddenly the thing just worked. No acknowledgment, no apology. Just a firmware patch and a silent nod, like a coworker who finally stops microwaving fish in the break room but never admits they were the one doing it. Once it's working, though, it's genuinely great. Streaming from my PS5 in another room is smooth and responsive, and cloud streaming means I can play games even when I'm nowhere near my console. The hardware is comfortable, the screen looks good, and the DualSense features translate well. My complaints are about what it could be. An OLED screen would elevate this thing significantly. Bluetooth audio support beyond Sony's own headsets would be nice. But this is the company that made the Vita, watched people love it, and then buried it in the backyard like a family secret. They don't iterate on good ideas. They release them and then pretend they never existed. It's almost like printing money offends them on a philosophical level. Easy to recommend now. One star deducted for the rough launch and Sony's inability to follow through on their own best impulses.
