      I agree 100%. Plus WiFi 6 was needed for reducing any lagging issues like you said in the video. No Web Browser well that’s a WTF Sony in my book. They seem to not care lately about their customers. Look at what they’re doing with their online premium service by raising the price way up an offering very little each month. Unfortunately, I’m stuck until 2025 with that service but after that, I don’t think I’m going to continue with that service.

      how about no? I personally love getting ass fucked by Sony with proprietary paywall to wireless audio. And god I'm so happy I not only have to own a PS5 to use it but also can't use it outside the home. I think they handled the PS Vita absolutely perfectly and to see them branch away from that form of handheld to master this add-on, damn we aren't worthy. would have paid 450 for this true PSP, my only complaint is it uses type c and not a Sony connector sigh

    Am I the only one that has forgotten about the vita? I mean you could connect it to your PlayStation 4 and exactly what this PlayStation portable does. Pretty much do everything that this PlayStation portable does. Except the portable it’s only an accessory. You can’t play games separately on it like you could Vita. The PS Vita was way better than this portable thing that they wanna gaslight you and tell you was awesome. It was killed out way before it’s time and now we have this.

    • @Rbbrdcky
      @Rbbrdcky Před 6 měsíci

      I think your nostalgic memories of the Vita are swaying your perception of it. It was not a great device and today would be a horrible move for Sony. To try and pack anything even remotely close to the power of the PS5 into a handheld would likely cost even more than the PS5 itself! Plus, game studios would now have a brand new console they'd have to develop software for which is more software that'd we would have to buy. That's what killed the Vita and nothing is different today that would change the fate of a Vita 2.

The Vita use propertery Micro SD cards which were expensive for the storage you get meanwhile you can get the same storage size for much cheaper from 3rd party Micro SD cards also the WiFi/3G model of the vita the 3G sim card was bound to the Vita instead making the Sim card removable so you ant bound to ATT's 3G service if you dont have or hate ATT services plus Vita came out during the time when mobile gaming on smartphones and tablets were at the highest.

    I have no use for this thing - I live in a one bedroom apartment with my PS5 hooked up to one TV that's within like 10 steps of the entire place. But, I remember back in the day when my Playstation would be hooked up to the family TV, and I'd get kicked off as soon as my dad came home from work so he could chill and watch TV. I would've killed for something like this. I have to imagine smaller households that don't necessarily have the space/budget for multiple PS5s and TVs could really benefit from something like this. That's my roundabout way of saying: I'm guessing this is mostly designed for the Japanese market.

    Bluetooth is a must for almost all products that use the Internet. Wi-Fi 6 should’ve been put on the portal. There is no excuse for them not adding a web browser on the device. Yes there is many other ways a person can do remote play. To me it just looks like an over price controller with a screen on it and yet still feels empty. I feel that this will die down and disappear into the sunset the same way they handle the Vita. Handheld devices including this one seems like Sony weakness. If I’m gonna play games in my house, I might as well use my PlayStation five. The Nintendo switch on the other hand, gives me that option to do either or in one unit.

    I feel like we all forget that the pulse edge wireless controller is $200 too and it’s just a controller. No one seems to complain so much about that. So I don’t find it bad at all. I’ll take the compromises that the Portal has as I am probably the market they made it for. I remote play with my iPhone and backbone already and have a good WiFi 6 mesh network with no issues. I just don’t want to isolate myself every time I want to play PS5. Remote Play on the PS4 Pro to my PS5 is terrible though. Good points in the video. No Bluetooth is wack. WiFi 5 is a choice for sure, it’s not using all that bandwidth but the extra network protocols of WiFi 6e would be good for stability. It’s a niche product to the masses for sure but it fits my use and fills that void for me.

    If I were made the new boss of Sony's PlayStation division, one of the first things I'd do would be to make a PROPER PlayStation Vita successor, I'd even make a Blu Ray-based Super UMD for it and let users play their old PSP games and UMD Videos on it!
    I'd also make a new plug & play PlayStation which would be the same shape and size as the PSone but have the OG PlayStation color scheme, it would also include Dualshock controllers using the original connectors and 50 games built in! (Sorry the likes of Tomb Raider, MGS and Silent Hill are missing, I want such a unit to be rated no higher than PEGI 12/USK 12/ESRB T)
    Crash Bandicoot (I know Microsoft bought Activision but I want the mega monopoly that is Microsoft broken up!)
    Spyro The Dragon
    Crash Team Racing
    Crash Bash
    WipeOut 3
    Need for Speed 1
    Mickey's Wild Adventure
    Croc
    Croc 2
    Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise
    Syphon Filter (US), Firebugs (European)
    Tetris Plus
    Rugrats: The Search for Reptar
    Rugrats in Paris
    Digimon World (with PAL Bug fixes for languages other than English, and a Korean language option transplanted from the Korean PC release)
    Digimon Rumble Arena
    Pac Man World
    Ms. Pac Man: Maze Madness
    Final Fantasy VIII (maybe the Chocobos could be raised using a PocketStation mobile app?)
    Street Fighter Alpha 3 (maybe the PocketStation minigame could be made playable via a PocketStation mobile app?)

    I thought the same as you at first, but tbh the more I used it, I became more fond of it. I was able to use it in bed or anywhere in the house. Have yet to try it away from the home ecosystem, but to my surprise ran smooth with low latency. It became an acquired taste. I know it's weird, and yes the price is up there. I do have a backbone as well, but I have an iphone SE which is such a tiny screen to play stuff, so it was already a better screen upgrade. If only it can open a browser to actually log in to hotel wifi networks, that would definitely be a difference maker. Revisit this in a few weeks and I want to know if you might change your mind on it.

    I really don't understand Sony, I assumed that it would bypass remote play altogether and connect directly to the PS5, similar to how the Wii U worked, the fact it's just a remote play accessory is next level stupid, it's a flawed system that is an object lesson in frustration if your playing action games or shooters and timing is important, I use Chiaki on my Steam Deck and admittedly for stuff like Slay the Spire, Inscyption, pretty much any turn based type of game it's ok but for everything else it's a toss of a coin on how it will perform, it will always lag or stutter at some point and if your connection isn't the best you can add graphical artefacts as well. There is a few tricks you can use to help but ultimately the system itself needs a major overhaul, personally adding a direct connection would be the best option.
    Add to all of that the proprietary wifi for the new earbuds and headset and it's a level of stupid that could lose an arse kicking competition to someone with no legs. I use Sony WF C-500's for my Steam Deck that connect over Bluetooth, they wont work on the portal, I suppose Sony are sticking to their guns as the PS5 has no Bluetooth connectivity without a dongle but there's so many things wrong with the Portal I just can't get my head around why it's a thing.

A lot of people I see who love it are dads who do not want to clog up the main tv. I will also say while watching tv or sports it is nice to do some grinding it for sure. It is cool, but well an LCD Steam Deck is a better device that can do a lot more.

    Despite the critics and all the negativity, I find this devices a huge success. Everywhere you go PS Portal is sold out. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks because this is sold out. PS Portal is design for those players who are working in the office or travel and cant continue the enjoyment of their PS5 at home. PS Portal is not for gamers who always have access to their PS5. There are so many games for PS5 that have over 100 hours of game time and the PS Portal allows those players who cant always access their PS5 from home because they have to share the TV with the family, or constantly traveling. Internet infrastructure is still on the rise and we will see some positive internet changes to come in the next few years.

    For the price they are asking, remote play is not enough. They should have simple titles or parts of a game that can be downloaded. Simple titles for the device that can be played off the remote play. Like, you download two small games before heading out and it syncs with the system. This way, if remote play is not an option when you take it out, at least you have two local games for some entertainment.
