For the sense of not buying additional games in order to play this game, it makes sense, however to solve the WIFI issue, Sony could maybe implement a mobile network system where the device carries it's own connection like a cellphone in order to connect, maybe

Thanks for this review. I was lucky enough to find one recently, and I can’t wait to play it. So glad to find this positive review. ❤

Had mine for a week now. Love it. No more dragging my PS5 around the house. I can play it in whichever room easily

Ive had mine for 2 months i have enjoyed using it. No major issues with it works great away from home i have my ps5 wherever i go.

Hey bro, thank you for this review, it convinced me to buy one! Also wanted to let you know that the quality of this video is incredible, especially for a new channel like yours. Keep up the great work!

I just bought one over the weekend and it has been a huge surprise for me. I'm a parent, and I was able to move into spaces where my kids were playing and could be with them while they played or watched a video and I was free to play, put it down when needed, and pickup when ready again. Maybe its just niche and if thats not you, keep moving.

Had mine from launch. Played every day. Don't use my 65 inch TV for games anymore. Just the Portal. It's been flawless. Currently playing Baulders gate 3.

Thanks for the video. There are may things to like but the comfort level is the most outstanding. The screen size, clarity of the screen, and the lightness of the device all contribute.

Thx for the review. I'm looking forward to picking up a portal when i comes available. I find remote play on my phone isnt the best with the screen size and control issues. Besides then negatives you mentioned, I also wish you could stream media to the portal.

Thanks for the review! I’m trying to get my hands on one.

Good stuff man. Love the laid back talk. Good details

Got mine a couple months ago and I have no regrets.. i have it connected to 5ghz and my ps5 is wired internet so not an issue.. I play destiny 2 on mine an walk all around the house an even take it to work.. my work internet isn’t the greatest so it gets choppy… but I love it cause I can leave my game room an chill with the family around the house with it.. it is exactly what it was released for..

Aye man, this is a fantastic and honest review. I was definitely on the fence about getting one but I think you might've fr convinced me. Appreciate you, bro 🤝

It’s an interesting device. I’ve had it for a couple of days now, it’s comfortable and plays my library but I do notice the stutter (PS5 on Ethernet, roughly 500-600mbps) - but it runs okay for a Gen 1 thing. A higher res screen plus another method of streaming games and not via Wifi could fix the delay. Not sure what that could be though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dope review and video! I love my steam deck but ima save up for the portal

Thanks for the review…just got for hubby’s birthday gift and he loves it. I’m the tech nut in the family and had him watch your video to learn about it because he had no idea about this device.

good review, helped with my purchase. new sub from uk

I’m about to buy one because I have a top end PC so don’t really want a steam deck, can you play the Ps now games on it that are stream only like older infamous ones?

been trying to figure out this question: do games you have downloaded from PS plus work on this?

Generally handheld consoles don’t have as many games as an actual console like ps5 or Xbox. This is good because you can play those heavy games that regular handheld consoles can’t and you don’t have to spend extra for games. I love this. Just trying to find one in stock to purchase it

Nice video brother! Mine shipped from playstation direct today. Im assuming that stand you had it on at the beggining doeent come with it? Lol

Great review, subscribed!

Best review on the portal I’ve seen, very reasonable and true of what you said… I’m a parent and It can be very handy when watching the kids and they’re taking over the tv. Everyone had been bashing it but honestly it comes it handy.

What happens when the controller issues start? I go through a controller every two years or so with FromSoftware games etc. Stick drift etc.

Great Review! You just got a new subscriber bro 👍

I have my PS5 in the living room and would like to just play my portal before bed in my bedroom. I have pretty strong WiFi and I don’t play multiplayer games. Sounds like this is the right product for me 😅

Agree! Great points and great review.

I’ve searched and searched but really can’t find definitive answers. I’m two hours away from home at the hospital with my son. We will be here for a month on his first stay so I thought this would be a GREAT idea. Long story short, got one here but can’t use it. The hospital Wi-Fi has an “accept agreement” and portal won’t let me, so I’ve been using my phone hotspot to attempt to hook it up with no success. My daughter is home so I walked her through the recommended settings on the ps5 for remote play, power savings etc. I linked the portal with my ps5 through the PS app but it will not connect. I’m stuck at this point, question, does it NEED to be on the same network at least once? Or pairing through the app should be enough?

Can you only play digital game on this? What happened if you have the game on disc?

Thank you bro for clearing this up for some of us who love the device.

Question: if i have the portal and on the ps5 i have 2 accounts can i play on both accounts at the same time, lets say if i wanted to play gta with my friend and he dosent have a console can i use the portal to stream the ps5 and play at the same time?

since i got my portal i don’t remember the last time i played off my TV, the portal is soo good

originally i thought the idea of having to own a playstation to even use it instead of it being a true handheld gaming device but the more i thought about it the more well....non issue it became think about it the steam deck reguires you to have steam games to work right ? well pc games in general which if you arent already part of that ecosystem/ pc gaming world....thats something you gotta go out and get if you want a nintendo switch you need switch games and so on sure this one requires a console to work but still if you do have that...its a great little machine

You deserve way more subscribers brother. Great review

2 questions- I have a backbone, should I buy this? How far away from my home could this, assuming I have hotspot?

So I’ve had a steam deck quite some time and then a steam deck oled recently. I couldn’t see the point of a ps portal despite owning and playing a lot of games on the ps5. I used the remote play app on steam deck and it seemed perfectly fine. Out of curiosity I bought a ps portal and you know what. It’s better for playing ps5 games than the deck. The controller is a clone of the normal dual sense with adaptive triggers and the same rumble. I feel like the screen even seems clearer for text. Complete suprise but I’ve been using the portal more than the deck playing ff7 rebirth and helldivers 2. Shocked myself but completely sold on it. Such a Good price point too.

I travel a lot, so this became a no brainer for me. Only con I can find is there is noticeable lag when it came to multiplayer games

Awesome review bro!!

So I had a question if anyone can help me so basically u need to have ur ps5 on to play this right that means if u don’t wanna see ur ps5 on ur tv while playing the portal you need to turn off the TV, but still run the ps5 ?

I love your honest review! I will be buying one and I’m subbing to your channel!💜

Still trying to get mine to work without lagging, and disconnecting all the time.

Should I get this one? I'm nervous to buy it but I am eyeing this for a week now. walmart near me have 3 stocks. I only play RPGs but mostly with heavy graphics. you are a great reviewer no bs only honesty.

Can you go live on twitch or UKposts from the portal?

How far away have you been from your PS5 and it working and was your PS5 connected by Ethernet cable ?

What's a good wifi??? Bc I can't yse my portal barely at all. It's lag no matter what. I got it on release day and only played it the first week. I fell like I wasted my money. I only bought it for COD

It would be better if they had to raise the screen up instead of putting it down, I think

Do you have your ps5 hardwired to your router or you playing on Wi-Fi and if so how smooth is it on Wi-Fi?

Here to support a fellow new tech enthusiast ❤

Same here brotha, I love mine. I think like all social media people jump on the bandwagon train because it's trendy. It serves it's purpose. That's it 💪🏾

Loving my portal , not used the PS5 since I got it launch day

What internet speed you need to have for good quality?

Hi Do you want to test our PS portal charger?

you can buy a cheap 3.5mm blue adapter nowa days pretty cheap now thankfully. so that you can connect your headphones to it and it will be wireless albeit the adapter on the back of it. They range anywhere from 10-30 bucks :) thanks for sharing this, take care!

I wish they would added a hard wire line to connect to the ps5 . it would have solved the wifi connection problem. I play with my controller connected , why not with my portal.

Hows the delay when playing nba 2k?

One portal fan to another, you have my sub

I would love to get one! I work nights and sometimes it gets really boring this would be great to have! But no Wi-Fi…😫 so it’s pointless for me 🤦‍♂️

Its so weird to me that some people have this immense hatred for this thing. If you don't want it, dont get it. Simple as that really. I think its a great device and is a really convenient way to play your PS5 games if you're travelling or your partner/kids are using the TV. I got one because my game lounge is downstairs but I don't like being away from my wife and dogs. The portal allows me to be around my family and also play some games. Its a win win for everyone in the house.

I got it yesterday....love it ....going use it for GTA 6

Finally got one for retail so I know its gotta be worth it cause the thing is always sold out. The headphone connection issue was defiantly a cash grab thats a common Sony move.

I was going to get one but found out it doesn’t have Bluetooth for ear pods. The Sony ones costs the same as the portal itself, that’s obscene. Stupid move by Sony.

I’m not against it entirely, I think my biggest reason to not do it is the fact I have to get a specific pair of headphones from Sony if I don’t wanna use the built in speaker.

It really just needs the ability to connect directly to the console for the screen streaming. The ps vita had this. And the connection was superior to wifi.

how about Sony puts out a firmware update for these disgusting frame stuttering issues! completely unacceptable.

Yeah i just bought one. I think it's great for developers because they don't have to make anything different for their games.

I don’t get it 😭. My ps5 is connected to Ethernet with 900 down 200 up and I get constant lags and I even disconnect too

What about analog drift?

Do you have to have your ps5 turned on to play the portal?

Ive had mine since it launched and with single player gms it's simply the best. Just beat ff7 rebirth on it.

~The amount of input delay on this thing no matter how strong my internet connection is.. it's such a disappointment.

thinking of getting one but the latency will bother the hell out of me i already own a logitech g board and the xbox streaming on there it’s not the best so i could only imagine the portals not so far off, great video man i thought u had a couple mil subs , good quality vids twin‼️

mine connects to mobile hotspot

That ps5 portable is dope 🔥

Does it have gyro support?

I get mines Friday I can’t wait bro and good feed bacc cause all I was hearing was the negative and it’s not worth it but ima lazy gamer I like to be in bed or lounging 😂

This portal is a game changer for me. This is great! It's a little heavy in the hands when playing for a longer time.

Is the screen made from Samsung?

Looks like a cool ps5 companion

If you connect Bluetooth headphones with a dongle You will see why you can’t use regular Bluetooth.

Just ordered one to see why its sold out all the time. I wasted $600 on psvr2 so maybe $200 wont be so bad

It’s okay for any story mode game but don’t try cod or Fortnite any game where lagging matters cause it lags for online game playing

The thing I don’t like is I can’t play it from like a car in a road trip because no PlayStation

Where’s the touch pad

Yes, it's awesome

I have it and I like it 😊

Yes portal is perfect in the house.

This could of been a great great great psp that also could of use screen sharing but the chose the bullshit this amazing idea

You need 700-800 to play it if you don't already have a ps5. Very Niche device.

bro most people are just fos tbh i went to italy and played mine perfectly over my wifes uncles wifi from my house back in ny everyone that actually has played remote play on a phone or anything els knows its not great at all lol

Wish I could find one lol

No bro it is not a knock off because PlayStation has been do this since the ps3 and it look so must different from the Nintendo

more videos my g

Buy a gaming pc handheld

Come on man! Dont get me wrong I love my Portal. I used it a lot. But is NOT PERFECT. Even with a great internet connection which fortunately I have. The stutter man. The issue is already being pointed out. Refresh rate issues. And yet, Sony still haven’t addressed the issue.

Not sure why ppl care about wifi ffs why take it away from home just enjoy where you’re going smh

dat weak ahh imac 🤣

I missed the days when handheld devices were able to play on hardware natively and not requiring an internet connection in order to play on another hardware. I'm sorry, but the Playstation Portal missed the mark on this one for me.

the most worthless accessory ever made by Sony. Buying this makes no point at all.

You’re trying too hard to sell me on this, I feel like you keep repeating yourself because you have not many good things to say about it

Why the hell didn’t Sony make this compatible with PS4??
