The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted, but savvy gamers can still save on a used model. Amazon Resale, now known as Amazon Warehouse, is currently offering the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $150.23, including shipping. Originally priced at $199 for a new unit, this represents a substantial 25% savings. While a Sony warranty may or may not be included, rest assured that Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity, these units are expected to sell out quickly.
Update: The price has now dropped to $150.23, marking the lowest we've seen for a Used: Like New unit.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller replicates the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the traditional touchpad. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a **very stable, very fast** internet connection. However, remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it strictly functions as a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to operate.
Update: Exciting news for gamers—you no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature that allows owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means Portal owners can either connect to their PS5 as before or directly to Sony’s cloud servers. Opt for the latter, and you'll have access to 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. Note that to use this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a $500 console and additional $70 games.
It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method is more complex to set up 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."
