It might not be the sweet new 30th anniversary edition, but we are tracking a rare chance to save on the Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player today. Best Buy’s open-box listing in excellent condition with a full 1-year warranty is now sitting down at $161.99 shipped. Navigate to this page, choose the excellent condition option, and then scroll down and choose shipping before adding to the cart. While that’s a not massive markdown from the usual $199 price tag, deals on this thing are rare at best. Still up at the full MSRP on Amazon where it has never dropped below $195 in brand new condition, the best renewed price we can find there has it going for $179.99, and that’s from a third-party seller.
Best Buy’s open-box listings are, in many cases, the only way to save on gear that just doesn’t go on sale elsewhere, and today’s offer is a perfect example of that. We highly recommend opting for the excellent condition as it will deliver a unit that “works and looks like new” with “all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement).” It also ships with a full 1-year warranty.
While the PlayStation Portal Remote Player is not the true Vita-style handheld we were all hoping for, it is a sought after piece of kit for PlayStation gamers and now’s your chance to save on one.
It was officially detailed for the first time in August 2023 as the thing that ”brings the PS5 experience to the palm of your hand.” It connects to your PS5 over Wi-Fi, allowing owners of both systems to effectively stream PS5 titles to the handheld display “so you’ll be able to swiftly jump from playing on your PS5 to your PlayStation Portal.”
PlayStation Portal Remote Player features:
PlayStation Portal Remote Player gives you access to the games on your PS5 over your home Wi-Fi, letting you jump right into gaming without needing to play on a TV. PlayStation Portal Remote Player can play compatible games you have installed on your PS5 console, including your favorite games for PS5 and PS4. Feel the immersive power of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in supported games. Responsive vibrations react to your in‑game choices and simulate environmental factors.
