You can find a lot of new gear on sale during Amazon's Big Deal Days events, but if you don't mind something being lightly used, you can get a PlayStation Portal at a very attractive price. As part of the Amazon Resale program, the PlayStation Portal is just $141 for Prime subscribers. Normally, this costs $200 brand new and $176 for a refurbished version, so Prime members are getting a really good deal here.
Amazon's Resale program typically does a very good job of making a preowned item look brand new, and in some cases, you could be getting a mint item because only the original box was opened. Even if it was briefly used, Amazon will clean it up.
This device has proven to be very popular since it launched last November and it sold out fairly quickly whenever stock was available. This is essentially a DualSense controller with an 8-inch LCD screen sandwiched between the joysticks, allowing you to stream games from your PS5 to it. Because of the DualSense-inspired design, it offers adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, and it supports a resolution of 1080p at 60fps. With a 3.5mm jack included, you can easily plug a headset in and enjoy your PS5 games in peace.
It's worth noting that you will need a stable internet connection to get the best performance out of the PlayStation Portal and a PS5 console for it to sync to. It's a well-designed device, and in ideal situations, you're getting low latency and lossless audio for reliably smooth gaming sessions.
A few other gaming deals to check out for mobile enthusiasts are also live right now at Amazon. A good one to consider is the discounted line on Backbone controllers that can turn your smartphone into a handheld gaming system, while the NYXI Wizard--a GameCube-inspired controller for the Nintendo Switch--has been marked down along with several other Nitro products.
