@@bossredd-77 my kids respect my stuff. We have 3 switches and a PS5 and 2 3ds. We are good. The issue is where to put that second TV. We only have one family/living room.
Tried to tell everyone there is a market for this. Got my preorder in and I'll be using this to grind levels in bed. Sometimes I want to still play my game even in bed as sitting in a gaming chair gets tiring after a while especially as I sit at a desk all day for work.
The Portal also means they don't have to create games for a handheld. It runs the ps5 games. With getting games to market being the challenge this gen, this was the best choice.
So I get it but it would have been great if they added the abilty to be a vita/ogpsp too for offline play, they dont even need to make any new games or put some crazy hardware. Guess its not meant for me since my commute has too many deadspots
I luckily was able to buy mine last night even though it was sold out so much. I hope that everyone who wants one is able to get one despite how high in demand it is. When debating to myself if I should get one, I did tell myself it is the same price as the Dual Sense Edge I also bought earlier this year and that is what convinced me to get it - such a great value price IMO.
@@stephenallen4374 you don’t know his situation. Plus it will be able to play his entire PlayStation library. It’s possible that he’d have to spend hundreds of dollars on games for steam. This is an ACCESSORY for your Ps5 marketed toward people SHARING A TV or traveling somewhere with steady Wi-Fi. This was NEVER marketed as anything else. Just because it isn’t a good product for YOUR SITUATION doesn’t mean it isn’t a good product for HIS SITUATION.
Got mine preordered day 1. Can’t wait! Will be on my nightstand for bed play and around the house when my wife and daughter are watching movies on the PS5 TV.
Framing it as an accessory is exactly right and clears up a lot of the arguments around the portal. It’s price point and the fact it’s essentially the same as buying a Dual sense edge as an upgrade to your playing experience explains exactly why it should and is selling well.
As a parent of two small children, I pre-ordered so i can play my games i dont necessarily want them to see instead of having to wait till they are in bed.
I only use portable gaming around the house, if im in public or on vacation to see family, i do not game because time with family is more important. I'll use this when im in bed or on the couch.
The fact that you can play outside your home really intrigue me, so I just pre-ordered. Basically, you have your own little personal cloud service without a subscription.
I went ahead and pre ordered one, yeah the lack of Bluetooth and cloud support sucks but I have a 1 year old and can't use my TV most of the day. The device is cheaper than a decent quality TV or additional PlayStation and takes up less space
The Playstation Portal will receive Clould Gaming in the future. The reviewers have been wrong on stating that this is just a remote play device. Its not!!!! Remote play is the only feature unlocked at this point, but the Playstation Portal is and will be a fully functional Cloud Streaming device in the future. Ah la steam deck. Sony actually smartly knew there cloud gaming isn't quite ready for prime time. By the time it is. They'll have millions of devices ready to go. Day one. It's actually brilliant!!!!! Smart Smart move. Mark my words. Sony Portal. Sonys Portal to cloud gaming!!!!! Brilliant!!!!!
the beauty, Sony can make good quality accessories, AND sell them "cheaper" than others (if it were not from Sony, the same quality would cost 30-50% more expensive)
I bought mine right when pre-orders went live weeks ago. Everyone I knew thought I was silly and laughed at me, for buying this accessory that "no one" would buy. Now this device is sold out, so who's laugh now Brett! Me, that's who.
It’s not quite for me but this is what Sony does. They take chances. The Walkman worked. Betamax not so much. They entered a console market mainly dominated by Nintendo and Sega. They entered the camera market, and a lot of the photography TH-cam channels straight up said mirrorless ain’t it, and there ended up being many like Lono saying told ya there was a market. At the end of the day Sony is a consumer product company and they take chances making products.
Wow I wasn't expecting a quick response like that.. Also I have channel perks now? You are the first channel to give me perks for free and I appreciate that alot you have a good day bro.
I was a numbskull skeptic too until I really thought about it. It's going to be nice to just boot up the portal in bed when I seldomly wake up 3am in the morning and can't get back to sleep rather than having to saunter to the living room, turn on the tv and booting up the PS5 to get a session in of sea of stars, etc. It's going to make visiting the relatives during the holiday more tolerable too haha
Just ordered mine from Walmart. This is perfect for me sometimes i want to play the ps5 outside of my game room. Just sitting on the couch with the old lady while she watches her cooking shows will be great.
@bighoss7437 I also got the series x plus both microsoft headset (regular and starfield plus starfield controler) and the elite series 2. So not rlly a pony more like a gamer 😎
Many countries but the only one I see mentioned is Japan and some do say "many countries." I assume it's mostly Asian countries where portable reigns supreme. Either way glad people are liking it hope they enjoy their purchase and get their money's worth out of it.
Tired of having to have 3 things connected to use remote play now I play on iPhone 14 Pro Max A controller and clip that holds all together so this device is definitely worth it for me
I already preordered mine! My wife and I share an office at the house and I’ll use it while she’s in there, I’m also excited to use it laying in bed with her while she watches shows. That way I’m not having to move my PlayStation around the house all the time.
Yes that why I ordered one also. I have a game room but sometimes I want to be around the wife and playing the game when she's watching her cooking shows
Any idea on what the suggested UPLOAD speed is for this thing to work smoothly? Meaning, my PS5 is connected via ethernet but like many people, I only get about 20-25mbps upload speed (while download is about 1 gigabit). Thanks in advance!
The Portal is also Sony's answer to X-Cloud. Instead of just relying on a centralized Cloud platform, Sony decided to additionally use a distributed private Cloud platform (which you own by yourself). This allows them to also not highly dedicating building PS5 server farms but keep to providing console hardware. Actually I'm curious how it works with PS+ premium streaming. Is it direct or still via the PS5?
I'm gonna get one .., and my sister will too xD (she's a non-gamer, untill Hogwarts came out, and fell in love with TW3 after Hogwarts and us now playing Skyrim.., 3 games in total sofar only, but she's attracted to the portable)
I have a super old phone and computer so at this point remote play isn't really feasible for me. At only $200 (vs the thousands it might be for a new computer or phone) this can fill that gap and I can play anywhere in my house or while watching TV and it'll be (hopefully) a great experience. Sounds like a win to me
Personally I love my PlayStation portal and I really don’t understand why Sony wouldn’t enable cloud streaming to it. I realize that would impact the sale of PS fives however the subscription prices would be a constant monthly income flow and could potentially rice if they had a cloud streaming portal
Just pre ordered mine at GameStop yesterday. Was surprised I was able to make the pre order at the store because I thought pre orders were gonna be online only.
Can't wait to get mine!! $200 is such a great deal!! A Pro Controller alone is literally almost that price alone!! This comes with an amazing 8 inch screen. So cool!!
I love the console. Some people don't understand the awesome utility it actually has. I keep my ps5 in my room and only really play it at night. With the portal, I'm able to play it in any room in my house. I can be in my kids rooms watching them play as I have the portal. It's a great alternative to avoid buying a console for each room.
I think they will make you have a ps5 and the plus subscription to be able to cloud stream at some point down the road that way they have you hooked in to all their premium subscriptions and products
@@scratches12mevideos because Sony puts it out there as the portal is an accessory, also Sony states in bold print on the preorder page that you specifically need a PS5 for this to operate. They are not hiding anything at all from the customers. So you’re basically saying people can’t read.
@@scratches12mevideos so you assume that PlayStation is not advertising that a PS5 is needed to use the portal. By also saying that it implies you’re coming off as if people can’t read.
I’m glad the people with common sense are now speaking out. When it was announced I said it was an accessory and not a portable console and people were not listening.
I don't understand why people associate Wi-Fi only to Starbucks or other public Wi-Fi sources. My God, our cell phone is a wi-fi source. It is always with us and on-line, I mean, isn't it? Just use the router function and bam you can use the Portal anywhere anytime with a fairly good internet service
I wonder if your ps5 will allow you to stream a game over ps+ while your using the portal? I also believe this will possibly lead to more digital game sales. I definitely hold off getting some things because I don't get the chance to play as much as I want on the TV. I see myself playing more after picking a portal up.
@jrm15082 it says down at the bottom of the portals page you can't play games streamed over ps+. They need to be downloaded to the console. Which really isn't a big deal. But hopefully later on once they sell enough ps5s they'll unlock the portal to be able to stream ps+ without going through your ps5.
@jconklin789 yea I just tried through my laptop and it stops and makes you go back to home screen. I'm pretty sure it let me back in December or January for a ps1 game cause I remember seeing the stream loading screen, but I could be wrong. Maybe they changed it for a portal only option?
This is just my prediction, but I think it will sell the best in countries like Japan and South Korea where the internet speed ranks within the fastest in the world due to their internet infrastructure being better than the U.S, Canada, U.K, and many other countries within the Americas and Europe. The U.S is not even within the top 10 or even top 20 (I think) of internet speeds.
People are dumb.. lol As soon as I saw this I knew it was gonna sell well and I pre-ordered. People don't understand the mobile gaming market in the west. Most handheld gaming devices (excluding phones) are played in the house on personal wifi. Unless you live in a major commuter city like NYC or Chicago... which most people don't. The average person that has a switch plays on their couch or in the bathroom on the toilet... yes sometimes people travel with those devices as well.. but on average people primarily play handheld consoles in the comfort of their own homes. lol So Sony making a device that focuses on perfectly pairing with the PS5 in the home makes perfect sense. I myself own a switch and a Steam Deck... but still was curious to see how this thing performs vs my remote play devices that I use with my PS5. Great Vid
Does anyone know how an online multi-player performs on the ps portal? Because I tried remote play apex legends a while back on my laptop, and it didn't work well.
My one "xbox" friend talked shit for weeks about it being dumb, worthless etc. Bought 2 at Christmas. This is common in our modern times: the "talk" means nothing.
The nerd in me wants to buy it, but since I live alone, there's not much point - except maybe being able to play some games on the go. I assume turn-based RPGs, for example, should work well enough even over a mobile connection.
Funny enough remote play app happens to be NOT WORKING NOW for many mobile devices and even pc now that the portal is coming. Remote play worked for YEARS over wifi or lately even over cell data .. Not now though... cant even type in a username to sign in ... hmm . Sony... forcing the sale are we?
you are spot on . I had people complaing for reasons you mention. I informed them and told those points you are making yourself. Its just a ps5 addon, nothing more and its market is not aimed at dedicated handhelds like the steam deck or rog ally etc. Its for people who already own a ps5 and therefore its price is £199 not £199 plus a ps5 as they would already own a ps5 and they are already in the playstation eco system and its a addon for it.
It slacked couple small things that would of made this best seller material: No 2k Display at 120hz Being limited to proprietary PlayStation buds which is stupid asf No Bluetooth peripheral support And no Internet changeable buttons and sticks to eliminate stick drift or stuck buttons because once u get that on their it's a rap u gotta buy anouther $200 device
The problem is the accessory is half baked. It doesn’t stream from its own cloud gaming service. Plus if you want to use wireless headphones you have to spend another £200 on a proprietary set.
Then they would have to make games for 2 different systems or a port wich will take away from the ps5 they trying to focus more on the ps5 this generation to maybe get the best gaming experience wouldn't that sound smart
Perfect when the women wants to lay and bed and cuddle while she reads or watches her shows lol or if I wanna be downstairs on the couch chilling or on the toilet lmao
The portal is DoA, I am the primary audience for a device like this as well as most of my friends. Why would I use a portal when I can do it on every handheld device that has come out? I own multiple handhelds that run android and some of them cheaper than the portal, heck I can even use the Vita. There is no world where this device is going to do well.
@@EnaTenkiyoGamer Im not a fanboy of any gaming company. I repect how Nintendo and Sony do business because their models mostly focus on the gamer experience. Internet infrastruture for the majority of the US is still dog shit, I know I used to work for ATT which does almost half of the US population. This video is like saying Wii U did well based on pre orders then you see all those scalpers selling 10's or hundreds of them under market value.

wouldnt it be just better to buy a tv even if you have to spend 100 usd more?
I’ve always said, this does exactly what I need it to. To play games on my ps5 when I’m away and with a good controller. Perfect.
exactly
A good pair of reading glasses and I'll no longer be on telegram getting stressed in bed. Now I can be fighting mongols
Does it has to connect to PS5 in any way? If yes, does that mean my PS5 should be switched on for the whole time i am away from my home?
@@abcdefgh6121no. As long as it's not completely powered down(so, rest mode), the portal can turn your system on, over WiFi.
@@abcdefgh6121 Works on restmode
Shoutout to all the "this is a pointless device" "this will be DOA" 😂 now they're saying it sold out because of scalpers ah man the narrative jump.
yup always a new narrative
Scalpers don't buy unless they think there's demand.
You know that people can just be fans of the device.
@@dannydement legit. I guess people think scalpers buy things to just hoard in their closets.
@@DeetheGreat84 yes, I do know that

Airbnb too

Good point
100% it was basically the ONLY choice.

Hoping edge goes on sale. 149.99 Maybe next year

The average person that has a switch plays on their couch or in the bathroom on the toilet... yes sometimes people travel with those devices as well.. but on average people primarily play handheld consoles in the comfort of their own homes. lol So Sony making a device that focuses on perfectly pairing with the PS5 in the home makes perfect sense. I myself own a switch and a Steam Deck... but still was curious to see how this thing performs vs my remote play devices that I use with my PS5. Great Vid
100% the only reason I play Portable is when another family member wants to watch Netflix or something on the big screen.
the bad reporting on Wi-Fi will hopefully be corrected.., like IGN (IGN 1st reported badly on the Wi-Fi.., embarrassing)
Does anyone know how an online multi-player performs on the ps portal? Because I tried remote play apex legends a while back on my laptop, and it didn't work well.
The frickin WiiU skus at $300 and $350 sold out weeks in advance of their commercial launch. So just let that sink in.
My one "xbox" friend talked shit for weeks about it being dumb, worthless etc.
Bought 2 at Christmas.
This is common in our modern times: the "talk" means nothing.
I use mine all the time. One kid on one tv and another kid on the other tv. Me on the Portal. All playing Lego Fortnite. Perfect.
Japan likes Cute Devices & PS is popular that's all. PlayStation is selling out friggin statues. It doesn't change it's reduced feature Handheld.
The nerd in me wants to buy it, but since I live alone, there's not much point - except maybe being able to play some games on the go. I assume turn-based RPGs, for example, should work well enough even over a mobile connection.
Funny enough remote play app happens to be NOT WORKING NOW for many mobile devices and even pc now that the portal is coming. Remote play worked for YEARS over wifi or lately even over cell data ..
Not now though... cant even type in a username to sign in ...
hmm . Sony... forcing the sale are we?
Definitely pre ordered mine. My daughter or fiancé can be using the tv while I use the portal.
I am loving my PlayStation Portal. It is amazing to play my PS5 games on the go, or when my family is watching TV
you are spot on . I had people complaing for reasons you mention. I informed them and told those points you are making yourself. Its just a ps5 addon, nothing more and its market is not aimed at dedicated handhelds like the steam deck or rog ally etc. Its for people who already own a ps5 and therefore its price is £199 not £199 plus a ps5 as they would already own a ps5 and they are already in the playstation eco system and its a addon for it.
I would like one, but not buying another set of headphones.When I've got my ps5 headphones.
Can't really stand the type of people who's mindset is "this is not for *ME!* Therefore it is pointless."
Time to grow up kiddos.
wow 1080p with no HDR and not an OLED screen
Bet design , but not buying this device over Wi-Fi connection to the ps5 , bring back original offline local 😢
that would be a 500-600 device instead of 199 if you want native ps5 strength
Now who is gonna be the first to Mod it so it can be a new "portable handheld"? If there are ports....it's "mod-able" 😏
It slacked couple small things that would of made this best seller material:
No 2k Display at 120hz
Being limited to proprietary PlayStation buds which is stupid asf
No Bluetooth peripheral support
And no Internet changeable buttons and sticks to eliminate stick drift or stuck buttons because once u get that on their it's a rap u gotta buy anouther $200 device
I pre ordered right on the first of September had a feeling this will go out of stock
The problem is the accessory is half baked. It doesn’t stream from its own cloud gaming service. Plus if you want to use wireless headphones you have to spend another £200 on a proprietary set.
I pre-ordered and I am curious how it will be. the dualsense edge is great so i bet it will be amazing
i think sony did a terrible mistake creating a thing like the ps portal.
the best idea would have been a new portable console like the vita.
Then they would have to make games for 2 different systems or a port wich will take away from the ps5 they trying to focus more on the ps5 this generation to maybe get the best gaming experience wouldn't that sound smart
owh wait yeah the dual sense edge I forgot bout that being the same price point
ive been using my steamdeck for remote play to ps5, no reason to buy a portal for me
Perfect when the women wants to lay and bed and cuddle while she reads or watches her shows lol or if I wanna be downstairs on the couch chilling or on the toilet lmao
Pre-ordered on day 1, can’t wait for it to arrive
I got my Vr2 the week it came out at GameStop in Canada. Not from direct. 🤷♂️
Preorders went through Sony. When it came out yes it was in a lot of retailers, but not preorders.

The portal is DoA, I am the primary audience for a device like this as well as most of my friends. Why would I use a portal when I can do it on every handheld device that has come out? I own multiple handhelds that run android and some of them cheaper than the portal, heck I can even use the Vita. There is no world where this device is going to do well.
already off to a great start, but okay
Are you a Nintendo switch fanboy 😂
@@ReforgeGaming Its not out yet so it hasnt even started.
@@EnaTenkiyoGamer Im not a fanboy of any gaming company. I repect how Nintendo and Sony do business because their models mostly focus on the gamer experience. Internet infrastruture for the majority of the US is still dog shit, I know I used to work for ATT which does almost half of the US population. This video is like saying Wii U did well based on pre orders then you see all those scalpers selling 10's or hundreds of them under market value.
@DaReapa so in other words keep coping I guess Nintendrone hahaa
A lot of people buying it because it football season and we want to watch football while playing
lol bingo
