Best Buy did me wrong during the their last sell when they didn't honor my exchange to replace a broken "excellent" condition portal.

I'm glad I waited for Amazon which has a much better rep in customer service. In for 1 and a peace of mind.

FYI, apparently the PlayStation Portal requires internet connectivity to function even if you're inside your home and playing games "locally".

So if you're at home and there's an internet outage, you can't use the device even if both the PS5 and Portal are connected to the same WiFi locally.

Deal breaker for me personally.

edit

At this price point I'll give it a try in spite of the odd limitation (which is admittedly minor for most folks).

One would have to factor in two things: how often you are using that device and how often your Internet goes out. Then you have to factor both happening at the same time. My Internet went out once this 2025.

Interesting and thanks for the tip. Serious, non-snarky question tho: do you have internet outages frequently enough that it makes this quirk a dealbreaker? I feel like for most this would be a non-issue?

That is a fair point, but it is still a rather annoying and bizarrely intentional limitation I thought worth calling out.

The official iOS and Android PS Remote Play app does not require internet to work so long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi. This is not the case with the Portal.

Seems quite silly you can't just power on your PS5 and Portal on a local Wi-Fi and be good to go. Pretty much any other handheld capable of using the PS Remote Play app can play entirely offline.

I get it though, at this price it may not be a big deal.

My review:
If you like to play online gameplay not worth it. Too much lag.
If you're playing games that don't necessarily require an online connection or are multiplayer than it may be good.
Overall I would rather spend the extra money and get a steam deck or legion go.

Have a strong 1ms, 500mb fiber ethernet connection to computer, but PS remote play is non-usable. PS5 says wirless connection is strong, but I get so much lag. I'm guessing this would be the same.

If your PS5 is on WiFi also then you will get dips and lag. If you use Ethernet on your console, then your portal will work much better.

Just a friendly reminder that you don't necessarily need to own the PlayStation 5 to use this device, but you will however need to subscribe to the Sony streaming gaming service, those are the only games you will be able to play.

PSP is much better for the $, and it can do more than gaming ie mp3, mp4, image, and past gen physical/digital games for dirt cheap. UMD movies too like Donnie Darko or Terminator II.

Oh yeah and it an offline device which you can embrace the freedom of the entertainment!

I purposely leave out a better-choice-PSVita for being too expensive
That's such a wild take to buy a used PSP right now. A viable one would be getting an Android based gaming device like a Retroid Pocket 5, where you can play Android games, emulate a large amount of consoles, and stream PS5/Xbox/PC. It also can play Donnie Darko, but unfortunately not on UMD discs.

As long PS5 is turn on and enable remote play. You can download Remote Play app on your phone and check how it works out for you. Then turn on use mobile data if you're outside your network. The worst thing can happen is that you need to port forward which very easy to do.
am I understanding correctly? why buy this if you can do the same thing with an app on a smartphone? proprietary controller?

Streaming on a Wifi7 device is going to be significantly more responsive vs Wifi5 on the PSP and Vita (we're talking 15ms vs 50ms). You also get the added utility of Dualsense support on this for PS5 games (touchpad, adaptive triggers, and advanced haptics). Not saying this is a better option for everyone but you are ignoring it's main advantages for people who will mainly be streaming PS5 titles.

Mostly for the Dualsense support: you need to use an official Dualsense controller if you want adaptive triggers and haptics with a standard Android or iOS device. This is plug and play without any configuring Bluetooth controllers, etc.

I use PS Remote on iPad. Bigger and better screen. You don't get vibrations.
