PlayStation Portal

At first, I wondered whether it was worth buying because opinions vary, but after purchasing it, I can recommend the PS portal 100%. The advantages are its workmanship, light weight, large clear display with nice vivid colours. The sound is very good and the vibrations are very noticeable. It's also good not to sit down at the PS5 after work, but to take the portal with you to bed and play. Streaming gameplay throughout the entire period of use was top-notch with no buffering interruptions. I highly recommend it.

Not worth the money
The connectivity of this console is really poor. Connection even while the ps5 and portal are connected to the same broadband is unreliable. Have tried multiple methods to trouble shoot and nothing has worked. Seems to be a common problem.

Great
I works great... if you have the right stuff. You can't play it out the house if you don't have playstation premium and even then you need a great WiFi connection. But if you have those things readily available then I would definitely recommend.

Disappointing
Have had this device for about a month, constantly having to restart it just to get a clear pictures that lasts for 10 minutes. If the connectivity issues were resolved this would be a great device.

Great features
The PS5 Portal really impressed me, especially when it comes to connectivity. Setting it up was quick and seamless, and it connected to my home Wi-Fi without any issues. The link to my PlayStation 5 was stable and responsive, with very minimal lag during gameplay.

Hello There.
PlayStation Portal Remote Player:
No — you can’t play a game while someone watches a film on the same PS5. The Portal mirrors whatever is happening on your PS5.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello Ad.
PlayStation Portal Remote Player - Midnight Black:
You do not need PlayStation Plus Premium to play disc games on the Portal—just use Remote Play with your PS5. Premium is only required for standalone cloud streaming of digital-only games.
Thank you for using Q & A.
No just a really good broadband connection if you have premium you can stream directly to the portal.

PS Portal can connect to any Playstation account without owning a PS5. You dont need to download games or own a PS5. The games stream from the cloud like Netflix streams movies or, OPTIONALLY, from your own PS5 if you choose.
You can buy PS5 games from the Playstation store on your phone etc. These will be available to play on your Portal. Not all PS5 games support cloud streaming. Cloud streaming is a 13.50 per month PS Plus Premium service which includes a library of over 200 games.

While this can be used in this way, the connection will be the determine factor, you will need a Mi-Fi or mobile hotspot that allows connections over Wi-Fi to be able to use it this way. This is designed though to be used in the same household as the PS5.

Hi Jock53.
