PlayStation Portal Appreciation Thread
God bless this device. I purchased this thing thinking it might be a fun way to flush a couple hundred bucks down the drain, but damn was I wrong. I spend 50-100 nights a year in hotels for work and although I will still absolutely prioritize getting work done and socializing while on the road so I can free up time to play games how they are meant to be played when I am home, on a huge TV in a living room, when I get a bit of free time on the road this thing is just great. I'd prefer an OLED screen but this thing is damn near perfect and let's me play more PlayStation, with full DualSense experience. I've also definitely gotten to more indie and puzzle games on my backlog as they seem perfect for the device. Thank you based Sony. Where can I go to suck off the diks of your corporate overlords?

Played some Geometric Sniper before bed while watching the game and played a little GoT waiting for the restaurant to open for breakfast. God bless the PlayStation Portal.

As the old saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
As a Steam Deck user I can only laugh at this.

You know what's nice? Being able to use a handheld without being tethered down to wifi. Being able to play Playstation games as well as everything else lol.

Sony's latest release, Ghost of Tsushima is about to release on PC, 4 years after it releases on PlayStation, and one year after Sony started giving the PS5 Director;s Cut for free. So for you the better option is waiting 4 years to play a game and paying $60 for it? JLoL

If I suddenly feel the desire to have that game on the go one day I can just download it and enjoy it anywhere.

So whats the deal? If you have wifi can you turn your PS5 on remotely with it or do you have to keep it on to use it somewhere besides your house? How does it work?

I can only laugh at you laughing at the fact that someone else is finding others ways to enjoy gaming. Imagine being this negative and toxic.

Glad it's working out for you brah, I think largely once the initial launch hype died down the issue was ultimately the price when compared to other handhelds.

Hotel internet slamming last night.
If we ever get to a point where internet like this is standard everywhere a streaming device is really all one would ever need.

Did they ever update it to fix that or you still have to tether bc can't enter a password

Ah, yes, the convinience of needing another device to provide your device with internet to be usable.

You can be better, and just admit it was a really poor design choice from Sony not to include a browser to get hotel/passworded wifi on a device that is only capable of streaming games.
It was one of the major criticisms by many review outlets, no need to pretend it's just me with this criticism.

I understand you bought the product so you don't wanna say bad things about it. But this was a major issue brought up by almost every single tech reviewer who reviewed the product when it launched. You keep acting like it's just dumb old freeburn saying this, but it was a major talking point when the device launched, and not a good talking point either.
You are really having a true blind fanboy moment right now. You can try to deny it but you also just reposted a month+ old post just to bring this thread back by adding a 30 second portal commercial like the ai Fkn drone that you are.
