$200 to play a console game on a different screen only within the same network is insane. You could spend $100 more and get a full blown handheld console. This is fucking stupid, Sony.
Sony is just so bad at this whole portable gaming thing, aren’t they?
Classic case of design by committee.

As an owner of 2 Vita’s that didn’t use this feature on PS3, PS4, zero chance I’d buy this to do it on PS5.
Is this a batarang?
Not only does the functionality seem almost completely unnecessary except for a limited use case here and there, but this thing is truly ugly. Who designed this travesty? How would you even store this bumpy hunk of plastic?
Sony used to have some of the most elegant and clean hardware aesthetics. Their designs were genuinely beautiful, simple, and practical. They used to ooze premium luxury. Now we get a screen with a sawed off controller stuck to the sides? Disappointing.
You know what? I take it back. The PS5 is shaped like a modem from 1999, it deserves this ugly step-cousin.
I have a PS5 and I just do remote play to my Android tablet with the ps controller connected via Bluetooth and for most games it’s acceptable; there is a little latency so it wouldn’t be good enough for fps games however. I wouldn’t buy this product but if the latency is improved I could see several of my friends getting one of these.
I refused to buy a PS5 because of how ugly it is. My friends got one, but I chose an XB1X because of how much better it goes with my house.
you chose a gaming platform because of how it looks?
we are not the same

This thing is terrible, who the fuck is buying shit like this? What a waste of electronic materials. They could’ve made a true handheld with the power of the steam deck that could run PS5 games at lower resolutions, but fuck no! Let’s make some bullshit abomination of a Vita successor and give anyone who loves portable gaming the middle finger, especially since you can’t use Bluetooth headphones. Fuck you Sony.
What’s the point in this thing if it’s not an actual handheld console? What does it do that a playstation controller + smartphone/tablet can’t do?
Yeah I didn’t understand why I’d do this instead of just using my PC with a controller. Wifi streaming sucks, I’m not paying $200 for it
Way better control experience, almost 2x the screen space, separate battery, and like a 5th the cost of a flagship smartphone.
Not for everyone, but still neat. This product makes me wonder if theh have other things in the works. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is something 3 years from now that releases where we say “this is like if the Portal was good”.
How my console boys feelin? Where your games at?
