Sony can be somewhat stingy about offering discounts on first-party accessories like the PlayStation Portal, which is why the latest PlayStation sale is worth checking out. Now through February 19th, PlayStation Plus members can buy two PlayStation 5 accessories and get 20 percent off purchases over $100. If you aren’t a PS Plus member, you can still save if you sign up for a subscription, which starts at $9.99 a month.
The ongoing promo applies to any accessory listed on this landing page marked with Sony’s “Deal” badge, which includes the PlayStation Portal ($199.99), the Sony DualSense Edge ($199.99), and a handful of items that rarely receive discounts. The sale also includes a handful of cheaper accessories you can add to bring the cost down on the pricey gadgets, such as the DualSense Charging Station ($29.99), Link USB adapters ($24.99), a Media Remote ($29.99), and various console covers ($54.99).
In case you need a refresher, the PlayStation Portal is a handheld device with a crisp, eight-inch 1080p LCD display you can use to stream games from your PS5 over Wi-Fi or the cloud. It’s a nice, all-in-one device that supports DualSense haptics, so you can take advantage of adaptive triggers and tilt controls. That said, while it’s great for playing PS5 games around the house, we wouldn’t recommend it for titles with a lot of latency, including online shooters and fighting games. Sony’s remote player also doesn’t work with any old pair of Bluetooth headphones either, so you’ll need to either dig up your wired headphones or pick up Sony’s Pulse Explore earbuds or Pulse Elite headset (which are also included in the sale).

The PlayStation Portal is a handheld device that allows you to play PS5 games over Wi-Fi. You can connect it to PlayStation Link-supported devices like the Pulse Explore or a set of wired headphones.
The DualSense Edge, meanwhile, offers impressive software integration with the PS5, allowing you to customize settings like stick sensitivity and rear button controls for up to four profiles. The pro-grade wireless gamepad also boasts all of the same features and haptics found on Sony’s standard DualSense Wireless Controller, along with adjustable hair triggers, swappable stick tops, function shortcuts, and two styles of rear buttons.
$200
Sony’s pro-style controller, the DualSense Edge, might suffer from shorter battery life than the standard DualSense model, but it features great software integration with the PlayStation 5 and plenty of customizable components.
