Looks like reviews for the portal will be coming in the next few days. Some people are reportedly getting charged for it now prior to shipping.

Full tweet translation:

The size of Playstation Portal compared to Dualsense, Switch, ROG AIly and Steam Deck. In the next few days, you will have a video analyzing its connectivity, materials and interesting differences with respect to the normal control.

Last I heard, you basically need to be in the building on the same network with the paired PS5 powered on to use this device. Is that correct?

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That is incorrect. You can use it outside your local network provided your Internet connection on the portal and at your PS5 is sufficient

This thing is completely pointless, when the PSPlay app already exists.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is incorrect. You can remote play outside your home network.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

??? You can do the same with the PSPlay app, so tell me what's the point of the Portal, when I've already got a phone and a telescopic controller?

Op responded to the wrong comment.

Size is the least of the problems...

I can already do what it does on my Steam Deck, Android tablet, and phone.

With no games of its own, what even is the point?

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm getting this and I have a steam deck. For me I don't ever remote play the PS exclusives on the deck because 720p does them such a disservice. Larger screen, higher Res, and full featured dual sense will be great for me. Especially since I share the main TV with the kiddo and the wife all day long.

This is definitely not for everyone, but for those of us who it works for, I think it'll work really well.

[–] Eggyhead@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I admit I’m pretty intrigued, but I wonder how the battery life will hold up under the dualsense features, what level of risk stick-drift is, and if the colors of the LCD are decent.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I by an Android tablet with the same quality screen for $199?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

8" and 1080p resolution?

Let's see here...

10.5" at 1080p, $190:

SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A8 10.5"(32GB, 3GB) Full HD, Fingerprint Secure, All-Day Battery, Android 11 Wi-Fi Tablet, US Model SM-X200 (w/ 64GB SD, Gray)

Too large for a controller mount and 16:10. Is that just an old model? Android 11 is a couple years old no?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Might be a few years old, but the goal was to come in under the $200 price tag of Sony's unit. ;)

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I meant more than it just being a 1080p screen though. The iPad is too heavy / cumbersome to attach to a controller mount and phones are too small. This product seems to fit nicely.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Plus the need for an internet connection to really do anything.

It really seems like Sony was thinking “we’ve got to get into handhelds at all costs” and completely missed what made handhelds desireable

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Does it really need an Internet connection? Wifi I get because it has to see the PS5 SOMEHOW.
