    So I seriously miss the target audience of PS Portal? Are they only targeting people who want to use this device in their own houses either in the bed or on the sofa? And that’s a pretty steep price for such a useless device.

      That fact that it can’t even play direct from the PS+ cloud gaming service shows what a half-baked device this is.

      In order for me to be interested it would have to be able to stream games in from my PS5, PS+ cloud gaming, and my PC. Maybe add Xbox GamePass streaming as well.

      Realistically it’s going to have to come from a third party if it wants all that, at which point you might as well just have a controller grip for your phone.

        I got a razer kishi for my phone and prevented me from getting a steam deck. If I didn’t have a switch already the steam deck would have been awesome though

          Steam Deck is revolutionary compared to a phone with a controller. You can actually play PC games without an internet connection…

      Yes. I questioned the usefulness of such a device on it’s announcement (on Reddit) and was swarmed by fanboys. I’ve not seen that on Lemmy, so we might be safe.
