Why I Hated the PS Portal… But Got One Anyway (And It’s Kinda Awesome)



In this video, I dive into my journey from skepticism to surprise with the PlayStation Portal. I’ll break down why I initially avoided it, the issues with Remote Play, and how Sony’s Cloud Streaming update completely changed my perspective. Plus, I’ll unbox the stunning 30th Anniversary Limited Edition and share why this device has finally earned its spot in my gaming collection. Is the PS Portal worth it now? Let’s find out!

What do you think of the PS Portal? Is it something for you?
@grindhardtrey December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I love it
@eddie-revival December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
so it only took A WHOLE YEAR for sony to drop a feature that phones have since EVER and now you can play them in your xbox or steam deck.

great move snoy, can’t wait for the “ psp vita 2 “ to lack basic features and be unavailable everywhere.

If the PS Portal worked like the gamepad of the Wii U it would have way more sales.
@astifcaulkinyeras December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I can see the lag through the video. Not good.
@Jay_Walker92 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
The portal was always fire from day 1 especially if you have kids.. it's crazy to see people just randomly completely switch up to now loving or wanting a Portal... straight bandwagoning.
@Utubeisazzho December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Same people that hated the portal on launch hate the pro on launch the 30th skin changes nothing
@sebastianmafla7413 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
How much is the subscription/month to the ps cloud for this ps portal?
@skillzv December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I guess you didn't get the new update. We can now stream games bro or mirror from the ps5. And guess what? There are more updates on the way.
@JayP-vh9wc December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Thanks, the 30th anniversary is up for sale again on the ps direct store
I only want to be able to play my disc games since i dont want to bither with a subscription. Will it be able to stream my ps4 games to the portal? E.g. bloodborne. Thanks for the video
@Emtbtoday December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
The new black limited edition one looks sweet! Although im an original PlayStation guy from 90s this 30th anniversary stuff is nice love the grey but the portal not so much looks way nicer in the white i think
@Emtbtoday December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
160 bucks subscription on top though its expensive just for that feature with limited games but still cool what is battery life like?
@Echoplex25 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
It looks really nice, but it’s still not worth it. $200 to cloud stream games, and you NEED the premium PS+. It’s just a wasted product unless you have money to throw away
@joaquinmendoza4235 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Can you play the games you have on your account without remote play ? I sold my Ps5 and I wanted to buy the portal if I was able to play my games
@guillandanthony711 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I hated it too and sent it back immediately shortly after release. Let's be honest, the new Portal was very bad when it came out. I thought it would be a flop. The limited edition looks really great.
@dadou193 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
This version of the portal is so slick and looks amazing. WAY better than the white version that looks like an ali-express toy 😂😂
@dadou193 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Is the new beta cloud subscription (that lets you play the portal without a Ps5!) available in all regions ? Anywhere in the world?
@megoblue3037 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I love mine!!!
@mattburke5356 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Now my question is, can you play ESO on it and still have access too my account? Had to sell my PS5 and other things because of financial hardship, because of hurricane Helene, i'm hoping this would allow me to play ESO because the portal is a cheaper purchase option?
@wheremybookbagat9695 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Need that overclocking tutorial for the vita
@Lucid_Mile December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
The new update allows you to not have a PlayStation at all. Only a PlayStation network account with premium membership and a decent Internet connection.
@esp8806 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
The poratal is a dope system with the new update
@alexlee-isted5046 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
I got one as I was also swayed by the 30th Anniversary colours if nothing else. If you have decent internet and your PS5 is wired in you should have a good time with it. 10 years ago I used to work in Stockholm, Sweden Monday to Friday and fly back to the UK every weekend. I used to use remote play on my Vita to play my PS4 back then and rarely had issues (hardwired at home and superfast internet in Sweden). I completed many games through remote play alone and other than having to use the rear touchpad for certain controls it worked incredibly well. I was completely sold on Remote Play even all that time ago. I have used the laptop Remote Play app with my PS4/PS5 controller wired in recent years if working away, and still had a nearly flawless experience but I have found if you are out and about it must be proper wifi. Mobile networks have too much interference and speed fluctuations if trying to use a mobile hotspot. It may say 5G and have a speedtest result over 100MB but I guarantee it will lag like you are on 10MB if it even connects at all. My only other wish for the Portal is if it connected to the PS4 as there is no reason it would not work.

👍👍👍👍👍
@basically_chris December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
one need to still own a ps5 tho? I have an active prem sub on my ps4 pro for example.
@chucknorris8704 December 13, 2024 - 3:31 am
Sorry. Im unsubscribing. Hate to see people with no backbone and selling out. Goodbye
