Definitely. Just to discuss accessories, Link and Explore. Tips and tricks too. And to keep the constant trash in check.PS Portal deserves its on thread.

I think anyone who owns a Steamdeck or similar wouldn't waste money on this unless they have a lot of money to spend.

Maybe...eh, don't mind me, I'm just in Black Friday bargain hunter mode. I wish everything was a just a bit cheaper right now

I love mine. Wasn't planning to but bought like 6 games cause of black friday deal just to play on portal.
Playing crisis core on it. Runs perfectly. Megaman battle network is next. And FF pixel remaster as well.
Kind of turning into its own little portable console for me.
Edit: just to add some negative views. Resolution which I'm guess is 1080p is a bit jarring. Cyberpunk was only game that I would consider tv only so far.

Having the same effect on me. I'm playing Mafia 2, FF7R, and DOOM eternal any given moment.

I would only consider playing Megaman Battle Network with a PS Portal.

The portal is lighter, has bigger screen, better battery life, robust haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Remote play works out of the box without installing any additional apps, which matters a lot for a consumer electronic product. I can barely feel the haptic feedback on my Steam deck.
Remote play is very impressive on ps. It's nearly like playing normally. Xbox app so.ehow cuts off all the time with bad quality

There's a reason MS has decided not to make an Xcloud handheld.

You should try octopath traveller 2 it's what I'm playing, perfect game on the portal. Much better than the first one, which you don't need to play as there not connected.

Yeah, no demand due to lackluster main console sales.

Good point. Just a little surprised that Phil hadn't pushed for an Xcloud handheld that's $150. But you guys are probably right.
they weren’t interested in building their own, but they’ve promoted the Logitech G-cloud, held a joint event to launch the ROG Ally (including free GamePass trials included with it) and worked with Valve to improve XCloud streaming on Steamdeck.
A xcloud streaming handheld isn’t really an accessory, though. No console required.

I wonder what will make each company more money within the next 2 years......
- Sony selling PlayStation Portal for $200
or
- Xbox signing on new users to GamePass due to that service being on the Logitech G-cloud and the ROG Ally

Don't tell me this, I just purchased a PSVR2

I got a backbone for my phone. DualSense clip for my phone. A second controller for the iPad. And it all sucks compared to the Portal. You don’t get the DualSense features, and it’s a pain to carry all that around.

You’re fine. 4 of the 5 VR GOTY noms are psvr2 exclusive. The 1 that’s not exclusive was given on PS+. It has over 150 titles in less than a year.
Both devices enable different things at the moment anyway. And many of the benefits aren’t as simple as the sticker price.
For example, Sony’s selling the portal for $200, but the knock on effect is significant since Portal owners will eventually skew more and more digital, and more multi console owners will buy their third party games on PlayStation to take advantage of the Portal.
MS just wants to put GamePass on anything that can stream.

The only comparison is the hate and denial. PSVR2 was supposed to be discounted by black friday and theres like one bundle deal. Just like Portal was DOA.

I hope scalpers bought a bunch of inventory and gets f'ed.

Ps portal is 100% good idea very similar to switch. I say to the nay sayers give the thing a damn chance.

Hmmm..... Good point about the knock on effect. If successful, it could make people more likely to buy 3rd party games on PS5.

I see all the Portals selling for $300 - $325 on eBay over the last 3 days. It's crazy!

Holy crap for real? This might be one of those gifts that get hot and sell for big money. Isn't there like over 40 million PS5 out there? That's enough for it to catch fire.
That happened to my wife with the wii. After she got it she didn't play it lol.

Amazon was much, much higher $400-$500 but it's now unavailable. I wonder if they removed listing's because they just all disappeared.

100% this. Portal has been amazing for me. I have all consoles and have always had a bit of trouble deciding where to buy my digital games. Portal makes it much easier to decide to buy on PlayStation. I've been playing Lies of P on Game Pass and if I wasn't so far into the game I would have straight up purchased it on PS.

I have a Steam deck and am at my parents for Thanksgiving and wish I had a portal but only because I didn’t figure out how to set up Chiaki with network play.I'm in bed right now and wish I had a Portal

I have it since last Friday, and I love it. It has exceeded my expectations. It works flawlessly so far. I live in a small house and have 5Ghz wifi. I can play it on the couch, in bed and in my office without a hitch. Screen is great and even the speakers are surprisingly decent.
It really is a great way to play new games and rediscover old games. I have a pretty well stocked PSN library and upgraded to PSN Extra just for this device. Currently playing The Outer Wilds. It never clicked with me before, but on handheld it’s perfect to play in bed before going to sleep.

This is a genius move by Sony because you are introducing cloud gaming the right way.
So many customers are happy with the latency and how this thing works that when you have a cloud device that can perform the same or better, people will accept it and flock to it without the resistance they once had.

So true. It's funny that so many are upset that others are having fun with their PS Portal.
I wish more of those "It's basically a Wii U tablet" people would understand what
CrimsonSquall
is saying here. So many still seem to think it's just a Wii U tablet with a Playstation logo and haptics in it when it's not.Hold on. What?! Maybe I did forget the leak lol

I think a lot of people buying the Portal for gifts for the holidays don't know you need a PS5 to make it work. We will see after the holidays how it plays out.

May have partnered with Logitech instead but no reason to think they’ll scrap it considering the success of the Portal.

Yeah I saw that on the UK listing.PlayStation first store description said come back today for more stock. Still out of stock and that message has now been removed
Did they even restock? Or scalpers just took it all quick?

I don't think it came back in stock. I was checking last night, first thing this morning and throughout the day. I think the text had changed when I first checked this morning 6am UK time.
