PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160
PlayStation Portal

Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New
The unit looks and functions as if it were brand new, though moderate packing damage was observed during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. The Portal allows for remote play even outside your home, provided you have a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a new feature allowing you to stream games directly from PlayStation Now's cloud service. This means you can access over 120 titles, including 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 utilize this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more affordable option compared to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.
It's worth noting that you can also stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method is more complex to set up and lacks some of the DualSense's unique 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."
