Discounts on the PlayStation Portal, Sony’s remote player for the PS5 with an 8-inch screen, are nearly impossible to come by. We’re surprised that Amazon has one for October Prime Day, but there’s a catch. The company has a large stock of “like new” units that were returned, and it’s clearing out its stock at the more reasonable price of $141 (these are normally $199.99 new) for Prime members. All you need to do to get this discount is add it to your cart, then watch the list price of $176.52 fall to $141.
We normally don’t feel comfortable recommending used products that are purchased sight unseen, but Amazon’s Renewed lists some important assurances, such as that its “screen is like new with no visible scratches,” and that it will come in its original packaging. That still might not be enough for you to take a chance, but at nearly $60 off the new price, some may feel comfortable taking a chance since $60 is money that could go toward a new game. Also, Amazon offers free returns, so there’s little in the way of risk with the exception of possibly wasting your time running to the mail center if things don’t work out.
