The PlayStation Portal has never seen an official discount—until now, in the form of a used listing. Amazon Resale, essentially a rebranded Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the Used: Like New PlayStation Portal for just $150.23 with free shipping. That’s a solid 25% off the standard $199 MSRP. While warranty details may vary, these units come with Amazon's standard 30-day return policy, making them just as risk-free as buying new. Given the popularity of this device, expect these listings to vanish quickly.
Update: The price is now confirmed at $150.23, marking the lowest verified price for a Used: Like New PlayStation Portal.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony's dedicated handheld companion for the PS5 console. It resembles a split-pad DualSense controller fused together with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. This allows you to stream your PS5 games remotely at up to 60fps. Featuring haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface replacing the traditional touchpad, the Portal replicates the full DualSense experience on the go. Please note, optimal performance requires a very stable and fast internet connection, especially when playing outside your home network. Also, it's important to remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device—it works exclusively as a remote client for your PS5.
Big Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PlayStation Portal. Sony has introduced cloud streaming support via PlayStation Now, allowing direct access to over 120 titles—including Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales—without needing a PS5. However, you must be subscribed to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus. At $18 per month, this is far more cost-effective than purchasing a PS5 and individual games separately.
While alternative methods like the PS Remote Play app exist for streaming PS5 games on mobile devices or other handhelds like the Steam Deck, none offer the seamless integration and dedicated hardware experience that the PlayStation Portal delivers.
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."
