PlayStation Portal Review - Worth the Hype?

Con: "I hate the controller size since launch" proceeds to showcase the tiny PS5 Dualsense controller grips on is glory to Valhalla, britannia pillaging, village burning, hale barrel drinking viking hands 😂 great review tho!

Worth every penny. The idea is to play games while watching tv or doing something else without being stuck to the chair. Personaly i start playing more games , games with missions .. i cannot see myself playing them on the normal tv all day , people around me will go crazy then u will loose interest of the game. Very good and clever console

I'm pretty sure they've talked about it but I fall in the dad category. Very useful throughout the house.

I LOVE MY PORTAL!! I use remote play with my phone and controller, but the screen was always an issue. The screen sold me!!

I feel the exact same about the Dual Sense, thought I was the only one. Those grips look great, never even considered that!

I love using my Portal around the house. Even when the living room tv is available, I'm still using the handheld. Helldivers 2 is a blast to play on it!

Just got my Portal and I love it. I have tried remote play with a Kishi attached but and it is a big but, the size and aspect ratio of the Portal makes for a great experience and immersion. Most phones including mine has a very wide screen aspect that make for a smaller image then my 6.4 inch screen would lead you to believe. And the full haptic and trigger functions is a big difference for me. And playing on a tablet with a real PS5-controller is to much of hassle most of the time.

I just bought one today. It's absolutely pointless for most people, it's over priced, and doesn't do anything new, or anything almost even worth it for the asking price. That being said, I knew this going in. I'm a dad, and this is a dad or mom device. When your partner or kid is taking up the main TV, that's where this excels. I dont regret my purchase, in fact I think it's a cool device, that serves the purpose of me being able to play my ps5 in the living room while my wife watches a show, or my kid is watching a movie. It's nice to look at, it feels good in the hand. But this 100 percent isn't for everyone, and it's price will definitely be it's downfall. I love the duel sense edge, it makes sense how expensive it is. It does so much, and it's the best controller on ps5. This device isn't the edge equivalent. Whatever, I spent more money then I should have, on a product I didn't need, to give my brain a tickle of dopamine. Good video!

Got a portal earlier today,love how it feels and looks but there’s room for improvement in other areas

Definitely a solid device but I would also like to have seen a few upgrades that make it worth it.

You got down to it the Best review I’ve seen so far on this thing great breakdown 👍🏽

For running ps5 portal how much internet speed you suggest?plz

I loved this review! I’m leaning towards buying one for myself as a father of 3. This is a great alternative for me. I thought about a backbone and I’ve also played remote play on my iPad. I really love the idea of a standalone device that I can pick up and play whenever wherever.

I purchased the portal because as much as I enjoy remote play on my phone it’s nice having a dedicated device with out any extras especially when I’m on the road.

With the portal you can finally play rated m games without shocking the kids ! Last day my daughter saw a dead island screenshot and immediatly she was scared ! Don’t have this problem anymore plus they have the tv a lil bit while dad is trying to save the world on the portal ^^ (nice video brother, sorry for my english… i’m working on it 🙏)

It's near impossible to get a new PS Portal here in Denmark, so what whould be the best device to buy for me with a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip ?

Thanks mine just arrived today, great informative video thanks

Please try this! Put the games in performance mode, If the game offers it. It make the input delay almost disappear

Corey, I really appreciate your review. Very honest, thorough and straight to the point. The Portal was a no brainer for me. My PS5 is in my and my wife's bedroom. She doesn't want to be cooped up while I'm playing when she still just wants my company. So, now we can go to the living room and spend time together while she watches Hallmark and over there doing Portal stuff. It really beats the Backbone One which was my go to before this. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and unplug that HDMI from the back of your PS5 when using the Portal. It is proven to make a difference with stutters. 😊

Absolutely love my portal. I know it’s not for everyone. But completely worth the $200 for me.
