I just got mine about 30 minutes ago lol… I assumed they would be sold out but casually strolled into the PS website and added it to my cart very smoothly.
@@nickgarduno2071 I know right???? It almost didn’t seem real but wario64 was right about his source. Maybe they caught people turkey napping haha. Glad you got one! The PS5 30th system is awesome, this will compliment it nicely!
Bro, where I can find one😢, I can see the white one, but I really want the 30-year anniversary. Is crazy how I still have my first playstation, Nintendo 64, sega back from the 90s
@@MrAlvarez23 just keep the browser tab open and watch for the 30th anniversary one from time to time, today i finally got it after like 10 days of checking it every few hours
I had the classic version, I bought the 30th one and damn, it is soooo beautiful ! Not only the buttons but the controller colour is just wonderful ! Much nicer than the classic one. I really love it and not to mention the box, even tough it will be kept apart, it's such a lovely packaging
@@giacintorenta7579I brought the 30th anniversary digital slim plus a spare controller but keep dropping it so brought a camouflage one to use as my main controller there only £45 at moment & grip is better
I actually purchased both of those accessories at GameStop. They just happened to have them when I was there. It’s not even something that's on their website, but I absolutely love the dock. It’s pretty great.
i was never going to get the white portal because i hated the color. looked cheap. When i saw the 30th i was sold. it arrived this week and im in love with it. its a sexy device
This shows how different we are from each other's sometimes lol For me the grey colour looks cheaper than the white one, it looks fancy when the LED lights around are on xD
When i got the PS5 I just didn't have enough money to get a second controller, so I logged in with the playstation app, connected a PS4 controller, my brother used his account and voila! We played fifa 23 using a PS4 controller wich you can't do on any PS5 game, although this worked, it depends on the game I guess
In stock now i got my notification today in uk, im just keeping the normal one though i actually like the white better and 199.99 in argos i couldn't not pick one up
Well its a good option if you didnt have a portal yet aka me. My local store actually didnt have the normal one in stock. Now I was probably gonna go with the 30th anniversary one anyway, so im not mad at all about not having a choice. I really like the colour and design !
@TheGameFatherUK yeah! Well technically I had to preorder it but they still had preorder numbers. So it was the only way for me to get a portal. I also managed to get my boyfriend one too as a surprise for xmas...then the update was announced and I'm even more excited to open mine on xmas too.
I had to send my Portal back under warranty after about 9 months. One of the sticks just suddenly stopped working on its vertical axis. There have been A LOT of people that had the same (or similar) issue. Glad you haven't though!
Good video! The anniversary edition does look great! 😊 Quick question about the dock though…do you think having the portal in the dock ‘charging’ for long periods damages the battery?
Yeah it is, I agree. Until I made this video I honestly didn't realise just how many countries don't have Premium as an option, only Deluxe, which doesn't come with streaming :/
I didn't have/want a portal but when the 30th Anniversary went on sale I decided to get one. I actually use and like it way more than I expected to. I'm playing games I normally wouldn't sit down and play over my main games
Nothing wrong with vanity purchases! Looks really cool. The ps5 pro however..... i could rant about that... But yeah looks amazing! I was gutted they sold out so fast.
@TheGameFatherUK i think i'll just go with the basic model. As much as i'd like the ps1 skin design i think at this point i'd only get it for vanity reasons - i don't dislike the portal design as it is now. It suits the ps5 which i like
Can you do another video on how to play two different games on two different portals? What free account allows you to play games? I thought you'd need two PS+ accounts.
That's actually a video I'm working on right now :) hoping to have it out at the weekend. You do need 2 PS accounts, but only 1 needs to be a Premium one. The other account can be a free one (if streaming from the console).
Yes, best to make a separate account so that you're not kicking each other off. Check this video out for more info: ruclips.net/video/r3QZ804V-aQ/видео.html
@ nice, yeah I realised that I like playing handheld more than the tv, hence why I haven’t turned on the ps5 for weeks, been playing a lot of Switch, guess it’s time for a PSPortal hahaa
Hey I was wondering, could you do a tutorial on how to connect the steelseries arctis gamebuds to the ps portal? I don’t know how to do it only that it is possible, hope you see my comment!
Hey there! You can get Bluetooth audio to work on the Portal but you either need to put up with a noticeable amount of latency or have very specific equipment. The Arctis Gamebuds are very nice but they use the SBC Bluetooth codec which suffers from fairly significant audio latency. You can buy 3.5mm audio jack transmitters that plugs into the audio port at the back of the Portal, but if you want as little audio latency as possible then both the transmitter and the receiver (headphones) need to support the same low latency codecs such as AptX. I did some testing a while back, the latency was just too off-putting for me.
It can be, but it depends on your connection (both internal home and internet). It also depends how good you are at FPS games. I'm average at best, but I'd imagine that an elite player might notice the input lag.
I only just managed to get hold of it, I had been trying for hours, just managed to snag one before they went out of stock. There has been a restock this week if you've been lucky enough to get one?
@TheGameFatherUK I got a controller. But not even with the restock. Best buy app is horrible in situations like this. It just logged me out then told me it was sold out. What I did do was call GameStop's hoping people may cancel a few orders if they got their stuff through other means, and I was lucky to get one. I would love a duel sense edge anniversary but I'm happy I did get what I did.
Okay so the question is what happens if you don't have a premium account but you do have a PlayStation 5 how would it work? Would I still need my PlayStation like on?
Yes, outside of Premium (cloud streaming) the Portal will stream from your console to a Portal via your local network. You don't need any kind of subscription for that, just a free PSN account. But your console does need to be on (and ideally in rest mode once you're done).
I love the portal. but does anyone find the controllers a bit too small and uncomfortable. Playing modern warfare is tough compared to using a normal ps5 controller. I guess aiming games arent so good for the portal.
I wouldn't say that I find it uncomfortable, but it is definitely different. I can't aim for shit on a controller so I wouldn't notice there, but on a game like GT7 I do find it easier to steer the cars on a controller than on the Portal, so I guess that could be the same thing.
If you're streaming from the cloud, then it doesn't matter at all, it just needs to be connected to the internet. If you're streaming from the console to the Portal, then they do need to be connected to the same network. However, I'd strongly advise that the console is hardwired into the network if possible. Having the Portal and Console on WiFi can be problematic in terms of network stability (unless you've got a quality router and good coverage where it's being used).
Yooooooooooooo, I was really enjoying your video up until so far. But what the bloody f**** hell?? Why are you showing scenes of FF Rebirth? these are clearly story spoilers? Whyyyyyyyy???? Other than that thanks for the video
@@TheGameFatherUK Oh my bad, since I have not played the game or have seen any advertisement I did not know that this scene was from the beginning. My sincere apologies :/ I take everything back.
I'm not a souls player, but I do play other games that need decent (or at least, semi decent) reflexes. Having said that, if you're an elite player, I imagine every ms counts. That's definitely not me, not these days 😆
Promoting BS. Most games are single player games. This product doesn't work at all... I got a ps5 but i wanted to buy this for my son to take home... He cannot.. It disconnected as son as he walked out of the room.
No promotion here. I paid for everything, no sponsorship, no freebies. The VAST majority of issues people run into are down to poor internal network performance (not to be confused with Internet).

Quick question about the dock though…do you think having the portal in the dock ‘charging’ for long periods damages the battery?
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure, I have been unplugging it when it's not charging just to be safe.
The Portal 30th Anniversary just arrived, but will probably return it to Sony Direct, due to not having the Ps Premium and not willig to take premium
Nice vid dude can you play online on the portal?
Yup! As long as you have some kind of PS Plus subscription :)
very sad that this cloud gaming opition is only in USA and Europ
and rest of the world not available
😢
Yeah it is, I agree. Until I made this video I honestly didn't realise just how many countries don't have Premium as an option, only Deluxe, which doesn't come with streaming :/
Hmm I was wondering about this. I could gift my original portal to my brother who doesn’t have a PlayStation 5
I didn't have/want a portal but when the 30th Anniversary went on sale I decided to get one. I actually use and like it way more than I expected to. I'm playing games I normally wouldn't sit down and play over my main games
What games have you found yourself playing that you didn't expect to? I know one for me was Army of Ruin, that's been great on the Portal.
@ single player story games like Horizon Forbidden West. Army of Ruin sounds interesting. I’ll have to try that out
I have been looking to ger the 30-year anniversary , but I can't find it anywhere😢
They had stock yesterday on PS site
Nothing wrong with vanity purchases! Looks really cool. The ps5 pro however..... i could rant about that...

How did you do that lol
How when its limited to 1 per customer.
Bro how did you guys get this stuff. I didn't get anything. Every time as soon as i pushed order EVERYTHING sold out.

Does it have to be on the same WiFi as ps5 can it. It work remotely
If you're streaming from the cloud, then it doesn't matter at all, it just needs to be connected to the internet.
