Buying PlayStation Portal Accessories: Are They Worth It?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2023
- Outside of Sony's Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite headphones, there's no other official accessories being offered for the Portal right now. So if you're looking for a carrying case, screen protector, grips, or stands, it's all in the hands of third party companies. So I decided to pick up a few different options and see what we've got to work with. Turns out, there ain't much. But that's okay, because after I upload this I'm making a sandwich. This isn't relevant to you, but I thought it'd be neat to mention.

Some people are really clicking on Portal related videos to tell everyone how much they hate the Portal. It must be exhausting to be that miserable.
I'm clicking on Portal related videos to gush over how remote play is amazing and how its completely being misunderstood lol
and some people go out of their way to cope about wasting 200 bucks on electronic trash
@@hundkebab2433 It’s a niche product that a lot of people are enjoying. I don’t understand why that upsets people like you. You clearly don’t like the product, so why not move on to things that you enjoy and make you happy.
Must be miserable to dicc ride Sony and defend an obviously sh'tty product
@@adrian_veidt Ha, yes, that must be what it is. Well done. 👍
Also, why censor yourself? That’s clearly how you’ve decided to communicate with strangers on the internet. Might as well go all the way with it. Don’t limit your potential.
Love your channel mystic, you give off such genuine and passionate vibes behind the motivation of ur content, cheers for continuing to upload and making my afternoons more enjoyable
I always come to Mystic's PS News. You always give your honest opinion(s) on everything and we appreciate your honesty.
Outside of a screen protector I’m raw doggin it
Kinky
📸🤨
That's cool to know PlayStation Portal Accessories even exist. Thanks for making this video!
It's called using a Search Engine.....
Im probably not going to buy a portal but I was wondering if there were any accessories for this especially screen protectors. Nice job of getting this info out there
Great video Ryan. Still viewed even though portal doesn't interest me. ANY change doing one for the dualsense edge?
Great video! Lots of the stuff on amazon tend to be the same thing by the same seller under a different name, especially this 3rd party stuff. Great to see a review of the stuff, thank you!
@mysticRyan have you tried the USB -c adaptor on the pulse receiver on the console?
I use it on my tablet to extract audio directly to the headset.
Haven't found any video trying this.
The state of those delivered packages 😳
They're paid minimum wage. I have received packages that were destroyed. Luckily most company's will just send a replacement.
@@DeadPhoenix86DPkinda wild how companies just roll over and accept shitty delivery drivers stealing or destroying their products
Great video and cool shirt too!
is there an accessory to add back paddles? really wish it came with back paddles and would help keep the portal from getting stick drift since i use the pack paddles to replace l3 r3
Portals &, wireless ear buds
Screen protection & hard case only too. Thanks mystic for the description links too.
I bought the HSTOP hard shell case and I couldn't clip on the right side clips . They were all messed up. you think it was a manufacturing error or defect?
Same
Great Video BUD! Overall I Like the Stream System :D
I think if they end up tweaking it in the sense that I can just sign in to my playstation account and play via whatever console I have without the hassle of having to have my ps5 on or in rest mode. But in hindsights, I love the concept of it being a bigger phone screen pretty much since it has a build in screen with a duelsense built into it. Granted you have to take into consideration it's battery life is going to be very dependent on the duelsense so if you're playing remotely with haptics and things, the brightness up, even with it having a good battery so think about possible wear down the line whether with charging, or even screen burn (obviously if you're actively playing I highly doubt it but it could happen.) may eventually come into consideration. I love the nicheness of this because it's also just a better playstation backbone, essentially, but the sticks are half a duelsense, and you got a full screen rather than relying on your phone screen. I could see them building on these and coming out with oled screens, bigger batteries, pro controllers, and ways to swap out the playstation controllers for future repair. So many good ideas they could do with this, if I'm able to use this essentially as a Playstation Switch which remote play with this is essentially what you have, but say they tweak it and work on it with all these given ideas that'd be so awesome.
I thought you had to be on the same network with your PS5? Or can you now use any internet connection for remote play with Portal?
Can you help, every time I try to play call of duty I get a message saying an update is required you must sign into PlayStation even though I’ve just signed in. What do I have to do to play call of duty, my other game works find. Please advise
6:27 ..."Ribbed for her Pleasure"... had me cracking up, lmfao.
Allways nice to see viedos by you, but i think there is more to test on the screen protector. Like does it reflect more ore less (sun)light, are colors and lightning by the screen correct (u dont believe what kinda bullshit products are out there). Also maybe - but sure hard to test without a laboratory - what kind of glue they use, like will it stick forever even when you want to remove it or will flip off way to easily and things like that.
But again pure love for your content!
I already bought a screen protector and my carrying case is on the way. Just ordered the stand because of this video, I want to put it with my 4 other handhelds👍🏼
I got screen protector and my case is arriving tomorrow. I'm not into those plastic/silicone protectors or a stand.
I hope the PS Portal do well so that the next version comes with more features like streaming directly from PS Plus or Sony could make a new portable system (I know that's a stretch).
In my honest opinion with everyone buying the portal I cant see why Sony would add more features or release a new handheld console if they feel people like what they are buying, that's my honest opinion though I know everyone has a different opinion on this
@@Gamingwithjbear36 It's possible they're using this to gauge the feasibility of a new handheld device. Sony makes more on software sales anyways, and I doubt this would have a significant impact to that compared to a dedicated handheld device.
I'm going to pick one up as soon as they come back in stock.
It’s dope
It’s awesome dude played it at work
Buy a switch or steamdeck they are actual handheld consoles not a useless paperweight
@user-fj1su1gj3g well done for identifying what an actual console is instead of a controller with its own screen
Here's a gold star 🌟
@user-fj1su1gj3g why are you even here if you hate the product?💀 you're not convincing anyone who wants to buy it dude.
I just bought the UK PS5 "SLIM" on release day 29/11/23 , would love to know what accesories I might need? Loving it so far!
@12:10 Here is a new screen protector TIP! Go into your bathroom. Close door. Turn on Hot water in shower until a little humid and steamy. Use clean counter to apply screen protector. The moisture eliminates static and holds downs particles that cling onto the screen and new screen protector. You will never do it different again!
Had to return one of those clear cases! The mold was clearly off and did not fit the portal.
Idk if this will help anyone but if you just want a nice grip and to help with sweaty hands. I highly recommend the kontrol freak grip for the dualsense and just put it on the portal. They’re cheap and helps a lot and has a good fit to the portal.
I definitely could see myself getting that metal stand, and the P5P case (the hard one)
You'd best put a rubber on that thing so there won't be another generation of these things
Cope lol
Good one lol
Can you play this while someone else is using the tv? Everytime i switch inputs my ps5 cuts off and i did turn off hdmi thing
Your TV and PS5 have the feature, so you need to turn it off for both
If they offered full PlayStation Plus streaming directly to the device then i could see it being more viable - ill likely still buy one
Some one is gonna jailbreak these. I believe it has a snapdragon 6xx serise it should be able to run up to game cube emulators if I'm not wrong...
@@str8poisintv131it cant there not much inside the thing from what i heard.
@@str8poisintv131 it has a Snapdragon 680 from 2021. Most likely able to be jailbroken, but the real question is who would actually do that? The vast majority wouldn't know how and it would void warranty.
@@cun7us lol as if voiding warranties are a problem for people who jailbreak their shit
How many screen protectors did you ruin trying to get that flawless pic
I have 2 cases for mines both from Devaso. I also 3d printed my portal stand.
Why does the portal have a camera on the left by the joystick and why isn’t anyone talking about it?
Ryan your shirt goes hard, where did you buy it?
Hot topic
Got mine last week. For $200 it's incredible. Obviously you can't play competitive shooters on it, but I'd argue you can't really do that on a switch or SD at 30fps either.
Yea its perfect for single player games multiplayer games arent bad though if you have great internet connection
You really think it's money well spent for $200? Wow, you must be easily pleased.
@@cun7us its worth its so much fun to play anywhere you have great wifi
@@cun7us Considering an OLED Steam deck with a memory card is about the cost of a PS5 + Portal. Yes, I am pleased.
@@Kashsneakers yeah key words - "anywhere you have great wifi", so you can rule out public transport there. In fact you can rule out most places as public WiFi is generally pretty bad.
Hey Ryan where'd you get the shirt?
The more I see the Portal the more it makes me think that it's really just a less integrated version of the Wii U gamepad. It's cool that there are case options and such, but I can't see many people seriously bringing it out and about the way you would a dedicated handheld. The stand is maybe the most useful thing, to display it next to the console when not in use.... which also just reminds me of the Wii U lolol which came with a nice little plastic stand in the box.
it's the anthesis of the Wii U essentially. The Switch is the successor.
It was never a handheld it literally says remote play
I might've agreed with this previously, but as someone who just recently bought a steam deck and have poured probably a good 100 hours into remote play using the Steam Deck exclusively, I have to say remote play is a complete revelation. I am practically using Steam Deck as a remote play device first while inside the house and while I go about my business outside of it, and that's essentially what the Portal is.
I just bought the stand today, this will be perfect for more cinematic games during cutscenes, nice to see it in action!
What’s wrong with a tv and a controller? I don’t understand this blind consumerism.
@@6reen6uy Blind consumerism would be to buy multiple PS5 to put them in different rooms and then several TVs to go with them, for someone calling me out you should REALLY open your eyes to reality, and look at your phone and tablet before you look at me mate ;) stop insulting people (and yes calling someone blind and a cunsumerist is an insult) without even knowing one's context of life, because that's not even you being blind but haughty and I do feel it is way worse
@lisahenrion7129 you get it 💪
@6reen6uy As a father of 2 girls, I can see a huge benefit of the Portal. I am not selfish to claim full control of the TV all the time. A family of 4 shares things. If the TV is in use, I could still play on the Portal.
Personally, I'd like them to unlock the Vita to be able to remote play from the PS5, like it can with the PS4. But that's never gonna happen.
@@6reen6uy I bought mine because it's perfect for my life situation, and since I got it I've been playing far more PS5 than I used to. I had a huge backlog of unplayed or unfinished games and now I'm finally starting to chip my way through them.
cool videos what knife is that
If The Portal itself isnt worth what makes you think accesories for it are?
Exactly. All a waste of money.
@@cun7us
No matter how many comments you copy and paste the same response Sony isn't going to waste money making a dedicated PSP/Vita again. Nintendo was dominating that market and dropped the DS. The switch is their only console, now instead of their main console and the DS
@@blakew595 I never said it needed to be another PS Vita. They had a big opportunity to allow cloud streaming which would have actually given this thing some value, but it doesn't even do that. It's just a mirroring device with a basic LED screen and no Bluetooth. For parents wanting to remote play at home I can see some use for it but besides that, it's basically useless.
@@cun7usthat makes it a waste of money for you, not for others who bought and enjoy it..also if Sony added all those things you want on the portal it would be something else and therefor the price would be $450 or even higher!
That plastic cover is pretty dope.
I can't wait for the Playstation Portal Pro
"I'll play this thing naked"
Not sure if he's talking about the console or himself! 😂
Ryan, I think you need to invest in some stand alone lighting solutions for these unboxing videos. It's a bit dark atm.
I know I'll get some use when I get to the Cold Steel series
“This one’s ribbed for your pleasure” Ryan….
I got a big hard case for transport, black, good quality, 20$ on amazon. Just got it, its A1.
mystic collection of games is crazy I only have 30 ps5 games disc version
The carrying case, what is the point. Taking it to the bathroom in style? Not like you can use it on a road trip.
My question is can you connect more than one Portal to a PS5?
you could use hotspot to make a connection.
I work as a chauffeur
And I be playing my portal up to 80 miles away from my ps5. This is perfect for me since I work 17 hour shifts and I never like the back bone. This is perfect. For me at least 😅
i have played mine on multiple roadtrips over the holidays paired to iPhone hotspot, i dont get the hate
Why caint u use it on a road trip
Did you watch the video?
I just needed to grab a case and screen protector.
10:21. That dose look nice.
Nice!
This is something i wouldn't buy but if i was rich or was gifted one then id probably use it
For $200
Buy a Dualsense Portal: ❎️
Get a Switch Lite: ✅️
I like the hard travel case and the heather gray hard plastic shell mainly because it changes the color of the portal. I don't like white on electronics in general. I bought a psvr2 recently and I waited because I wanted to buy it on sale but also because skins were readily available for it so I don't have to look at that awful color it comes in.
The only reason to buy those accessories is to make an entertaining TH-cam video about it.
Useless things for a useless product
@eddi3401 we are talking about the playstation portal and its accessories, not what your parents think about you bud..
I like the stand
@@lordeowstheking stroke a nerve huh, don’t worry PlayStation thanks you for your service, I’m sure they’re applauding you some where 🫡
@@lordeowsthekingSomebody’s projecting…
The only accessory I’d be interested in is a screen protector and a case.
Would love to see another real handheld, but that probably wont happen anytime soon if at all. For now ill stick to my tablet when I want to play remotely, thats a bigger screen, bluetooth and additional apps, so really no additional value with the Portable right now. Looks like a great device, but rushed as its missing many features.
I like the Bugout, im more of a 940 guy myself.
Buying accessories for your PS5 accessory is wild. Apple type shit.
My friend got me a portal as my joint x,as/birthday present, for me as a father of a 2 year old and a wife who loves watching awful tv shows I am probably the target market for this device, and I do like it but if I’d paid it for myself I’d feel different for sure. Should’ve allowed downloading as long as you check in like once a week or something.
Sony's betting in 1-2 years time the reach and bandwidth of broadband and mobile networks can maintain a consistent .1sec lag threshold for on-the-go use. And you don't need to buy dedicated games for it. They're trying to ride the wave before it comes, i guess.
Man I was hoping it would be good modern alternative to an handheld. I’ve always enjoyed the PSP/Vitas and hoped we’d get another.
PS Vita 2 is done. Vita failed in 2011. Get over it lol
@@EnaTenkiyoGamercan you comment something meaningful for once rather than harassing people for no reason in the comments section?
@@EnaTenkiyoGamer Steamdeck says otherwise. Plus the Switch is dominating the Handheld market. Its just Playstation didn't do a very good job supporting the Vita. They dropped it immediately after they launched it.
The Playstation Portal is just another flop.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP I dont agree with them i think we need ps vita 2 but the only reason the switch does well is because of nintedo being exclusive with everything and forcing you to stay with them
@@tr1ksh0t88 The Next Playstation handheld could easily run PS5 games natively. Just drop the Resolution to 720p, and upscale them to 1080p.
Since you can play this away from home I would maybe have wanted this in the past, just to maybe play my ps5 while on lunch at work, however I’ve been trying to get healthy and I walk during my lunches now, so still not into it. But I will say I do understand why some people would like this.
Just use a phone
Yes
For the average person, having a portal isn't even worth it haha. The idea of this video is fun but i can't help but feel it's like throwing stickers and stuff on your PS5
Average person has kids so it’s worth it kid
For the average person having an accessibility controller isn't even worth it but yet they exist.....
I was of the same opinion, but remote play is a complete revelation man. I use my steam deck primarily for remote play and have pretty much completed God of War Ragnarok with a majority of my playtime over remote play and Sea of Stars exclusively while on remote play. It's just a vastly different experience if you even have a half decent setup for it.
Awesome
The price kinda seema reasonable but it was a missed opportunity.
A stand alone PS5 Duel sense price isn't that much different.
However... they could've done a lot more with this even without investing in portable gaming properly.
- could've made it usable as a controller on the ps5
- could've built in ps1, ps2, psp and perhaps ps vita emulation. It really doesn't cost much to emulate those devices and would have incentivises more people buying classif games (equally helping ps premium).
But... on the bright side. i think the positive sales of this is basically a signal to Sony to invest in their own portable. I am pretty sure it will run on sony os rather than windows or linux to avoid gamepass.
I don’t see Sony skimping on the price of including emulation, no matter the cost. Their unreasonable, IMO, price increase to PS Plus shows just this.
@@evilmoffintop6081
It's been the same price for 4+ years , I'm surprised they waited this long.
It is usable as a controller on the PS5. I don't have a portal, but I use remote play on the steam deck. Had to recently have my Dualsense triggers repaired due to it becoming increasingly softer to press. I resorted to using remote play on it as a controller while playing on my TV screen. It was perfectly usable. I guess it would've been nice to have it connect directly to the PS5, but seriously, if you have good wifi for the PS5 and the Portal it barely makes any difference.
Also PS1, PS2, PSP, and Vita emulation just isn't feasible. Yes those devices can be emulated even by cheap phones these days, except for the Vita, but aside from PS1 the emulation is far from perfect on lower end hardware. Sony and other console manufacturers pride themselves on experience consistency. This is why even Xbox can't just release a one size fits all OG Xbox emulator for the XSX and has to do it per game. You won't be able to achieve that with this hardware unless they specifically include a beefier chip or actually have purpose built hardware for it.
Kinda wack they dont at least give you some sort of sleeve to protect it. Always some kind of upsell with Sony nowadays. Just like how we can't even use our Pulse headsets with this device, and forcing people onto the $200 plus tag. That, and add in the cost of the $200 Portal, and the $500 PS5. That's insane.
I'll buy 1 when they fall to 50$on the used market. It won't take long. But that's me, i always do the cheap routes
Thank goodness for the steam deck, I can remote play my ps5 on my deck without the need to pay £200 for that ps portable 😅 (phew)
No you spent more for the steam deck 😂
Stay crying about it steam drone fanboy. You can't handle sony being a decent company lmao
@@ssjmonstar yeah, a device that can actually play games on its own, uses Bluetooth and has OLED 👍🏼 😁
@@ssjmonstar When you take into consideration it can play all PS consoles the value really starts to add up.
I like my Portal; it has made me play my PS5 more this past couple of weeks. I think I have a faulty one, because my wired headphones have this static noise, whenever I use them on the portal, and I have tried multiple headphones, and they all have static sound.
I don’t want to return the portal, since who knows when I will get a replacement. I ordered the new Sony Explore Wireless Earbuds, so hopefully that solves my issue.
Solution to Stable Connection
1. If you have money to buy this you have money to upgrade your wifi (if it sucks on this it will suck on your console)
or
2. Use your mobile hotspot (I have unlimited hotspot usage no slow downs)
I’ll buy one when I’m not being conned out of $200
Your phone does it better and does more
@@blackraven85_1false,portal is the best for remote play.maybe buy one before bashing it.

I'll buy one actually.
Let me get one of those Ryan 😃
I bought a backbone for 50 and have the same experience with my Phone, if not better.
i have both, youre lying if you think remote play on any phone is close to this, backbone is very cheap feeling and way too small of joysticks
Just get a decent tablet and remote play million times better and can surf the Internet aswell then
@@davidarthur9850 Mine has the exact same lay-out as an Xbox controller. Feels perfect for my needs.

"ribbed for your pleasure" rawr
I don't use remote play so I won't be getting a portal I rather sony fetched out a vita 2 or a psp3 with there own games I most say it dose look cool but I think it would have been better if it played native games not just for remote play
i think we’ll definitely see an official stand. we know sony loves selling those!
Best feature of the travel case, it hides the fact that you were dumb enough to buy a portal. People might think it's an actual gaming device.
I will also play my Portal naked, and with no accessories.
I’m getting vibes like this is just a prototype for a real handheld coming in the future. Something akin to Nintendo with the WiiU and Switch. Perhaps like the Vita with an OLED screen, cartridge based and downloadable games but PS4/Pro type of graphics. Portal is basic and barebones but I am enjoying it. ❤
“Ribbed for your pleasure” 👍🏽
Oh no it’s a Wii U condom for the PlayStation u I mean portal
I'm hoping this Sony putting a toe back in the portable market. I love this form factor. I'm sure they could make a Steam Deck like device that could play digital PS5 games at lower resolutions.
That would be completely pointless, even more so with Nintendo’s Switch 2 being rumored to be pretty powerful.
Sony lost the handheld race. It is what it is.
Nope, get over it hahaha
Yeah nah this is just gonna be their excuse not to touch it for another decade unless a bunch of fools self scam themselves into getting one. It's literally worse than the wii U
