Remember you need a ps plus premium subscription to stream on the portal so the cost is more than double if you don't already have plus.
I love mine. got it on a deal here for $150 and use it more than the PS5
Where is this announcement, no where has there been a mention of a new or revised model.

Seriously where do people make this stuff up

The store which I saw one in, showed out of stock online.
Staples randomly marks game stuff way down. So I look whenever in one.
Switch lite was just $150
Got a PSVR last year for $180

I bought one several months ago to play Balatro while I watched football but didn't really use it.

Now I'm in Illinois at the inlaws playing Vampire Survivors on my PS5 in California and I'm so glad I got it. Pretty amazing, especially since the IL Internet isn't great.

I'm still not very familiar with what the portal does. I remember two years ago I used a PS5 app to play my ps5 over WiFi on my iPhone, and I used the ps5 Bluetooth controller to play it. Isn't this just a bigger version of that, with attached ps5 controllers to the side so it feels "native"? Is it like a steam deck or switch but with the controllers ready to go and the game is playing via wifi video ? Or is it actually using a processor and has an operating system too?

It is not comparable to the deck or switch. It's streaming the game to the device. It's a bigger version of the iPhone app essentially.

For $130 it's a no brainer.

I got one full price back in Jan. It was very meh back then, as in performing like crap (extreme frame drops from 60 fos to sub 30 fps, and resolution issues all the time), worse than using my phone with a controller.

But fast forward, sometime in the past few months, it got way better. Now I can comfortably use it for single player games. I do play on this more than on the TV nowadays.

Not like a Steamdeck or Switch. It's streaming just like with your iPhone. The pro is that it's a dedicated device with a nice screen and solid controls that is easy to pickup and play.

Apparently the frame hiccups have been resolved. I would totally jump on this if I didn't already have a Steamdeck

It is SO worth it at this price, especially after the most recent (significant) update, which added cloud streaming games directly to the Portal AND fixed much of the PS5-to-portal streaming issues. Also, you *can* play some games remotely and do multiplayer (like Helldivers, for example). Great deal OP!
Do you need to have a console to activate the cloud-hosted games? Or can i use this as a budget ps without a console?

You do not need a console to activate the Portal, log in and and run the beta cloud streaming.

But you do need the highest subscription level of PS+ ($160 USD/yr).

While this is cheaper than buying a PS5 of whatever edition new, you might not consider it really "budget", especially after you factor that in as a yearly recurring cost. If you can find a portal at $130, that's $290 for year (or what, about $300 after tax on the portal?)

Also, if you get the highest subscription level of PS+, if you have a PC and a game controller already, then you can cloud stream to the PC and not need to buy a PS Portal. Though I believe the selection on the PC may be more limited than the PS cloud streaming. But that would be even more "budget" than buying a PS Portal.

I love my portal. Not only as a gaming device but even when I am watching YouTube or a movie I can organize my game library or browse the storefront from my couch. Also this thing does work as a controller for the ps5 when you are connected and paired with the portal so if you get tired of watching TV you can flip right over to the ps5 without skipping a beat. Since they added the game streaming it's been a pretty good experience. I never flinched when I purchased at $199.00. It's worth it to me. I tested the device with my phone but the connection wasn't really stable. Even at 5g it lost connection if my phone was not right next to it. Overall I am happy with it.
I don't see the point of buying this to watch Youtube or movies when for $199 you can get an iPad with a bigger screen...And also you can play PlayStation remotely with it. 🤔

Seems like very few on this thread actually got one, another wild goose chase to drive people in stores

Wait, essential PS+ don't work for this?
