This was a no-brainer for me.
Not only is our PS5 connected to the one big TV in our house but some games (like Spiderman) can trigger my wife's migraines. So this lets me play my games without hogging the TV and without worrying about my wife getting a migraine.
I love mine; yeah, it's not for everyone and I can see why some people are downplaying it but for me it's a win.
Hi can you explain what specifically causes migraines and how treat or reduce the effects. My mom seems to get migraines simply from having the room lights on
Like how much is the difference between Remote play on iPad or iPhone with a dualsense
@@thatguy_dirt_in_your_eye difference is screen size and experience . iPads are too large iPhones are too small. Both are not ideal for handheld gameplay furthermore I don’t think they can be used unless your connected to same network as ps5
Grow some balls
U need a game room buddy or u need to tell her to take her a** to the bedroom 🤷🏾♂️
For a device that nobody wanted it sure was difficult to get one
People talk smack about it but want it anyways-..
I think a lot of people think it’s something more than what it is
@@TJPerez4 a lot of Xmas gifts going to be returned
Because scalpers exist….
@@themysterykid1 facts. eBay and Mercari prices are wild 300+
I AM LOVING this thing it makes gaming anywhere around the house so convenient! I also took it to work today to show it off and I connected to the company wifi and it ran very smooth! Love it
Wow I'm surprised it ran smoothly via your jobs wifi 👍
@@TheTravelerAiArt honestly mine ran good at my work too
Explained it perfectly. So pumped to get my DadStation tomorrow! Finally allows me to play PS5 without needing to isolate myself away from the family.
Definitely the Dad generation of gaming.
Yep, exactly why I bought one. I can enjoy my Alan Wake 2/Final Fantasy XIV while the kids enjoy their Bluey/Wife enjoys her shows.
@@bender9740exactly. Except Cocomelon instead of Bluey. For now.
I was waiting for your review bro! Love your vids💪🏼
Subbed up!
I remember when I had a PSP and I loved it. I can only imagine how much better PlayStation has gotten with their tech in hand held gaming.
Super cool review.
I been subbed for a while now and I love the content btw!
Great review and I agree that this seems like the perfect device for me to use my PlayStation all around the house. Thank you! 🕹️😁
Thank you for reviewing an online multiplayer!!!….was so hard to find a review that wasn’t just about Spider-Man.
Didn't expect Seth to do tech reviews, but I'm here for it. Hold this sub my guy
I got mine yesterday and I’m also loving it! Just like you I have my console setup in my basement..so this device works for me to play in my bed at night.. I feel like PlayStation has more plans for this device I think we will be able to cloud stream in the future let’s see overall very happy with this purchase👍🏻
Great video seth❤❤❤
I love how you had my favorite loading screen on Fortnite
Im a very casual gamer.. only played a handful of times in the last few months for a hour here and there. With that being said I've drained the portal Battery twice lol in 2 days! so 8+ hours. Definitely a fun handheld and very well built. Loving it!
Subbed up!!! I am pissed I didn't preorder this. It looks like the perfect solution to wanting to play games and watch movies at the same time. I guess I will stick with my backbone until I can get my hands on one.
I picked mine up yesterday from GameStop I preordered this things awesome very comfortable to play
Subbed 🆙 loved the vid! I don’t plan on buying the portal but I’m glad it’s a fit for you!
Would be cool if you did a latency test. You could simply put the portal next to the PS5 monitor and count the frames. It would be nice to see how the latency compares to other devices using Moonlight.
Depends on the connection I’m assuming but my internet ain’t the best and I literally had zero latency
Don't believe the cow manure being shoveled in front of your face. The latency is horrible. You won't be winning any online games away from home with this thing. Just stick to single player games where you won't get hurt.
I had no clue seth had a tech channel until now since I was researching the ps portal
I got mine yesterday and couldn't put it down. Even my gf was playing it as well and she's not a gamer and she loves it ❤
Guys I need help. I put my ps5 into rest mode then I turn on ps portal and it wakes up the ps5. I try turning the ps5 back to rest mode then the ps portal also loses its connection. Been so stressed? What to do ? I thought you can play while ps5 in rest mode
Great video ! I'm leaning towards getting one or maybe I'll get lucky on Christmas
I love this thing, it's pretty awesome.
Where was I when this was even talked about??? Just heard about this today 😮😮😮 I need this in my life.
I never resonated so hard with you Seth, more than I did during the 1:04 comment 😂
Good review
Have fun getting one since the scalpers are back
Subbed Up! HEADING TO NEXT VIDEO NEEDS. I NEED THIS.
So glad you showed madden everybody else just doing Fortnite or Spider-Man 2 😂
can you do video you bring it to your office and play, I want to see for the different connection outside of home wifi
Subbed Up!!!! Love the look and detail on the new ps5 console.
I’m waiting on mine…another sony pre order I didn’t get on launch day although I think it has way more to do with my local UPS. Should be delivered today and I certainly can’t wait.
You can play your PS5 games outside (outdoor) with your Portal using a mobile device 5G connection (share your connection) !!! That a great fearure !

Subbed up!! Waiting mine hope coming in soon order it straight from PlayStation
Subbed up🎉 awesome vid man
I don’t play Madden, and I had no idea, that sucks. Portal gets a big W
i got mine last week and feels nice and premium
Subbed up and loved the vid👍✊🏻
I love mine and have been playing all morning.
Does madden not work using an android tablet/controller using the PlayStation app?
The delay looks noticeable…
definitely... not sure why no reviewer is is actually testing the response time of button presses. Watched all the reviews out so far and not a single one talks about their home wifi LAN setup (what router they use etc) they all just talk about their great download speeds which won't affect this at all as it connects over your local network unless you're out in public. Most of these reviews are totally useless to someone who actually want to know if this is a good purchase or not. Right now, as someone who has used the remote play app on other devices as well as Chiaki, etc. I'm leaning towards not as the lag is too noticeable and annoying to me and makes many types of games unplayable. These reviews are more sponsored ads than actual reviews.
@@Topspen87I saw a review video posted yesterday where the guy hard a timer for latency and it was slower than the actual controller but by like a hundredth of a second
@@Urlastnerve that is really interesting, could you possibly post a link to the video? Still trying to make my mind up on this thing. Thanks in advance!
@@Topspen87ikr literally none of them are showing an actual proper 1 minute gameplay
@@Topspen87 I’ll try to find it. I watched a bunch of videos these past few days 😂
Can you charge it with your phone charger if you are say staying at a friend's place and no ps5 to charge it?
Reddit is currently filled with people living their dream: Sunday morning, watching Sportsball, while playing Sportsball. But this is a gem for any parent, who needs to keep their kids busy with a movie, and still game. The perception definitely has changed for this, and that's amusing to me.
I think it would be smart to bundle these when they make a ps5 pro i would definitely upgrade my ps5 if that comes out especially if it comes with a portal and becomes more of a upgrade
Yeaaah cause ps5s are already single player anyway, so buying an extra controller is pointless. They should offer a ps5 with only a portal as controller.
I might get one because I don’t like moving my PS5 but want to play my games at my gf house. So if I can play without moving my console, that makes sense to me. Crazy how it sold out so fast.
Everyone wishing it was a Vita successor where was your wallet when the vita came out? I picked one up, but it seems all but 50 of us did because it flopped so hard sales wise for Sony they bailed on the system 2 years into it and honestly it was such a comfortable and beautiful system to play on.
Heeft deze psp klein game cd of klein game stick
I would consider getting it if you could download games. Streaming games on the system uses a lot of data, can’t imagine how much this uses
Yeah, be careful not to use up the internet 😂
I was told from Sony themselves back orders until mid January
Okay so I just got mines and it’s been pretty sweet.
Just subbed. Don’t know Seth had a tech channel. What his sneaker channels for drops.
Subscribed just because you're a Ravens fan. LET'S GO, FLOCK!!!!
This looks cool . I have a logitech handheld already , i play my xbox and PlayStation on it .
Imagine Sony releasing a fully functional handheld (PSP2.Vita 2 ....) with this comfortable design
$700. Seriously though it would not be cheap. They’ve kept this low because it’s not a dedicated handheld… that said should be about $50 cheaper imo
The vita was ahead of its time. If they do a handheld right now it would sell like crazy assuming a decent price point (somewhere between switch price and ps5). They’re missing out on huge potential imo.
@@akg7873 that’s the problem though, the price point would be insane
@@murphyebass7837 if it’s between switch and ps5 price I think that would be ok. You think it would be more than ps5? I doubt that given the vita was less than ps3/ps4. I assume the handheld wouldn’t be as powerful as ps5 but something like the steam deck or rogue ally.
@@akg7873 I don’t think it’d be far off the ps5 price wise given a device that’s built for remote play only is $200. Don’t get me wrong I love my vita but I just don’t see a new designated handheld from Sony any time soon, unless this thing sells in spades
Does NOT work over MOST outside WiFi! (Says authentication needed even if you have the password) there's no browser so you can't click accept. So no Starbucks etc, at home it's amazing
Subbed up! Here from the stream
Does it work on a diff wifi? like at your office?
GameStop is also doing a deal if u bring in the og console they give you either the spiderman 2 slim bundle or the MW slim bundle for your old PS5 long as it's working
Why would they do that? I assume the OG console has to be brand new?
@@Diego-oy6en no sir I brought my console in that I got in 2020 which was still in good condition but I have no clue why they are doing it maybe take them off market not sure , I know they going to only produce the PS5 slim consoles
@@sethpatout936 they did a straight swap? I can't find that deal anywhere online but it sounds too good to be true haha
@@Diego-oy6en I was told this in store from a worker when I went pickup my ps Portal it's some limited time deal but ik where I'm at they are doing it though
@@Diego-oy6en I called today and to trade in it will be around 200$ out of pocket with a trade in on the og console long as it's in good working condition but I cant do it because I paid way over retail trying to get one the first release and cost me $800 I would be taking a loss now just to have the newer console but I definitely plan on trying to get one in the future
I just order one this morning
Subbed up. I was subbed on your sneaker channel first 😊
U have a nice table set. I like that ❤💯
My ps5 “slim” arrives tomorrow, so maybe I’ll buy the psp in a few months or years too lol. It seems like it will be really useful.
The portal can’t turn the PlayStation on from completely off, only from rest mode.

How you call a time out on this thing? Pressed screen no luck
This is the first time I’m even hearing of this thing existing 😂😂
i suppose the advantage of Portal is its tactility vs other ad hoc solutions like the BackBone and whatnot. Also, i'll bet $50 the decision to make the headset proprietary to the Portal was a decision made by an MBA who has no interest in gaming, only the bottom dollar.
Subbed up
Got mine yesterday, LOVE it

I thought I was the only one excited for Madden.
when is it coming in australia
If you have a game downloading in the background wile playing, it goes in and out pretty bad
In 2023 this shouldve been a standalone. I dont mind paying 400$
Yes for sure

You didn't show play from any distance away from the PS5 or your wi-fi router (which I assume is in the same room as your PC/PS5???)
The portable console is nice and feels premium, you can definitely notice a difference between a oled tv screen and this lcd screen . Played EA FC 24 online and it was laggy and response was not that great. Next i tried Gta 5 and it played pretty smooth . Overall its okay
I was playing mw3 and was surprised by how low latency was, initially was laggy but I had to remove the hdmi from my ps5 and it became so much smoother

@@OfficialGaming11_ no, the ps5 has to be in rest mode or already turned on to access it from the portal, but when accessed you need to keep the ps5 on to use the portal because its the ps5 being screen mirrored onto your portal
@@krithik09 right ok I understand thanks very much I was definitely mis understood. It’s a shame they did it like this I wish they can do ps5 cloud streaming on portal. So you can play any games you want with out needing to use remote play. Hopefully they will bring out an surprising update
@@OfficialGaming11_ i doubt thats gonna happen but it would be a blessing. They advertised this as a remote player and i think it will stay that way.
Does the game have to be on when you play?
Yes
Does this work with ps4 console as your source too?
Day 2 and I must say it’s not worth it. I have over 300mbps WiFi and it still lags. It’s not better than the backbone for gaming stability or quality it’s actually very even in a head to head comparison. The screen is great and the feel of the controls are great but that’s all
Maybe your wifi ain't the best brodie
Looks like Sony used the bilingual Canadian packaging for the US as well, maybe to save on cost
Confirming you can use bluetooth headphones if youre in the same house as the system. The receiver is plugged into the usb c port and the dongle in the portals headphone jack and switch the audio on the system. Done. Just tried it.
I have so many questions. What Bluetooth headphones do you have? Did you buy the dongle and receiver separately from your headphones? How is the audio quality?
@@sealryuwong2752 I have the Sony over the ear wx1000 and the dongle two piece from Amazon is the creative bt-w3. And for me the audio is amazing, so much better than when I use the cable plugged in.
@@sealryuwong2752 I'd assume ear buds would be exactly the same process too but I don't like using them so I haven't tried.
Got mine today and already returned it, i have great internet but still laggy with COD Online which defeats my purpose. Hope you guys like it. It’s pretty cool but just another piece of junk that will make me lazy. Will definitely wait on the actual portable device
You said it will make you lazy? But in the next sentence you said you will wait for the actual handheld. So youre contradicting yourself lol
@@Yo-xr7lj 😂😂 indeed.
Does the Portal get a consistent 60fps? I would love to see some Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay on this thing before I commit to buying one.
The screen is so much better in person then what u see on his video
@@gregoryburkhead7813 I really just wanna know how MK1 runs on it. fighting games have to run at 60fps or else it's chalked.
Does PlayStation portal have stick drift?
I talked a lot of shit about this device. When the preorder dropped, I got one 😂. Saturdays and Sundays are my Gametime. With football consuming me, this is great to get some Gametime in as I watch the games.

What Wi-Fi are you usingggg
I'm based in South Africa, if I ordered the Playstation Portal from the US will it be competable in South Africa? Where can I order this from in the US?
I didn’t think it will sell out! I wanted one for Xmas! 😢.. You think they will restock again ?
Yes, there should be plenty by that time on shelves
The steam deck has Madden, so you can play portable on that.
How are the gyroscopic controls on this thing?
Well, it worked with the Last of Us Part 1 when I needed to shake it to recharge my flashlight lol. I love this thing, it has been running beautiful with zero issues on many different games.
I skipped your ads because I don’t sopurt your channel.
Subbed up 👌🏼🤙🏻
Can i watch a movie on my ps5 and play a game on the portal at the same time
The colors on the portal look better than the colors on your computer monitor.
Can you play 2 different games at the same time ? That.s for me the most whanted feature as a dad with 2 boys. Please make that happen and i will buy that thing in a hartbeat.. if not i don.t see with all the mobiele divices a reason to buy another screen for 200
If you’re away from home playing the portal, will waking up the PS5 also turn the TV on?

I believe that's a setting on the PS5. I vaguely remember mine used to, but it does not now.
subbed up!!
So from my experience It run really smooth but at first it was really pixelated but after 10 mins it became super clear and no lag . I was playing Fortnite with a friend and did pretty well. I tired playing it at a different house with good WiFi and it was laggy so for now at home would be best to play it at . It did got better but in mortal combat it was not playable. Alien fire team was playable but with a little lag . At the end I bought it to use at home cause I have a 3 year old and I can’t be in the same room where my ps5 is at So I really love it .
I only played for two min and it was super choppy. I'll keep going and see if it clears up. My Internet speed is 300 Mbps. It says u need at least 15. Does my extra speed help at all or does it like cap at 15

@@OfficialGaming11_ it suppose to do that ,it suppose to wake up your ps5 so it can run the game for your portal but once you done with your portal you can put it back in rest mode or turn your ps5 off with the portal. But if you turn off your ps5 you won’t be able to turn it back on so keep it on rest if you plan to play on it again with portal . Hope it helps
@@themaker8318 yeah I have the same speeds as you and the 15 mbps is the upload speed and the 300 is the download speed . Yeah if you get more than 15 it won’t cap. Yeah give it time to “adjust” it will come out clear and more smoother. On my ps5 I get around 300 download speed and up load around 22mbps.
Subbed up 🆙
I wouldn't buying it, but don't you need super fast internet to use it?
Subbed up !!!
I play MW3 and feels like when I’m playing, screen quality drops to 720P this is when using my home wifi
I wouldn’t recommend playing games like mw3 on there
Here’s the only thing I don’t like about it so far playing with it last night
When I wake my PlayStation up from sleep with this it turns my tv on
And I don’t want my lg g3 sitting at home on While I’m away
I need to figure out how to get it not to turn the tv on
