The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, has never been discounted until now. You can snag a used one in "Like New" condition from Amazon Resale for just $158.70, shipped. This represents a 20% saving off the original $199 price tag. While a Sony warranty might not be included, you still benefit from Amazon's standard 30-day return policy. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.
PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

Used: Like New Condition
The unit looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage observed during inspection.
The PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen embedded within an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, complete with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. While it's perfect for streaming games within your home, it also supports streaming outside, provided you have access to a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature that lets you stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access a library of over 120 games, including titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, without owning a PS5. To take advantage of this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more appealing option than buying a $500 console plus additional game costs.
It's worth noting that you can achieve similar functionality to the PlayStation Portal at home by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup is more complex and lacks some of the DualSense's advanced features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy
"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
