I ultimately returned it because it made me motion sick and I just didn’t use it as much as I thought I would. Works best for turn-based games due to infrequent but still present latency. Even with great home internet and uninterrupted internet connection, a split-second delay can really derail some games (racing in GT, etc). A friend of mine has one and experiences the latency as well but only plays turn-based games on it so he loves his. To each their own.

I love it if I didn’t have to go to my TV to change some settings once in a while I would never use my TV again, but the biggest thing is you have to make sure you have a decent Internet connection. I have a router and two satellites in different areas of my house so my Internet connection is great but I love this device. I was playing my PlayStation on the 70 inch TV and it was too big.

The Portal is fun to have. It does lag if you are on slow internet* and if you are downloading something on your console*. If you have good internet and you're at home, your wifi will be enough. You can sit back and watch a movie in the baground and Play your portal at the same time.

It's amazing. It definitely needs a case that helps with grip but when u get one its amazing love the cloud streams and the seamless connection on remote play when playing all my games on my ps5 and all the amazing games in the PS Plus catalog. *PS Plus premium subscription required to be able to stream games from the Playstation catalog*

Super cool for people who can’t sit down and play during the day. I’m laid off for the winter from construction so I have my kids during the day and it definitely comes in handy. Also if you have to go to the in laws and you need to “go to the bathroom” just make sure you left your PS5 on at home and you can play it anywhere as long as you have a decent WiFi connection!

I had tried remote play on other devices with varying degrees of success so i wasnt sure what to expect. I bought this out of FOMO and im so glad I did. +Screen is a good size and colors pop. +Battery life is sufficient. +Easy to use. -The volume scaling is not great. The first nitch up from silent is too loud. Needs to be about half what it is. -No third party bluetooth head phone support. C'mon Sony. Make great headphones and people will buy them. You dont have to force people with gate keeping. All in all, I love this thing. Connectivity will vary but with the right set up its honestly real close to playing natively on my PS5. Ive seen this called the "Dad Station" and that describes what i love about it most. I can play and do other ghings at the same time.

If you would love to play your PS5 in bed but the machine is in the living room here is the gear for you. It does require good wifi so if you lack that this will be a bad investment. Otherwise you can beat taking your gaming to bed or even the toilet is you are one of those gamers ;)

Overall it is okay. I would not buy it now because it is only a beta version of cloud gaming (Playstation plus - Premium subscription required). There aren't many good games available to play since it's only beta version. It is not worth it to get this unless you have a Playstation console already. Premium subscription is not worth it due to not having many good games to play in the ps portal. It will tell you to connect with your Playstation console but if you turn on the beta cloud gaming via setting, it will not ask you to connect to your ps console.

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

I like it because I thought I can play my own games on it but then I realized that's not what it was for what I didn't like about it it's when my daughter told me I can just buy a controller and stream the game for my tablet so I did not need it and that's what I'm doing now
