I feel your pain brotha 😂

Time to let the wife go. Priorities

Oh man 😂😂😂😂

I told my wife we needed this to have a healthier relationship😂

😂😂😂😂

Strongly agree with you on this one..I have cervical and thoracic syrinx and chiari malformation which is debilitating so having this will allow me to play while resting in bed. Just ordered one. Excited for it

I have my TV at the end of my bed 🛏️ 📺 so I can lay down, using a bigger pillow and play my games comfortably that way. I'd love to get a PlayStation Portal, but I feel it'll be a waste since I have no kids, my TV is set up right at the end of the bed, etc...but I understand the PlayStation Portal has its uses such as your guy's situation. Hopefully in the future, Sony makes a PlayStation Handheld similar to the PSP.

You can play a regular PS5 while laying down.

The market is definitely ready for one, with all these companies coming out with handhelds from steam, asus, Lenovo and Logitech to name a few Sony could definitely capitalise on the handheld trend and dominate the market. If done correctly and by correctly I mean make a ps vita 2 that allows physical games it would sell incredibly well. The technology is there the exclusive games are there if anything they would be losing money not making one.

Sony won’t make a dedicated handheld seeing the success of the Portal they will make another streaming only device just watch.

@@ryans413 that wouldn’t make any sense at all why would they make a second device that does exactly the same thing as the first? It’s streaming the only upgrade they can make to this joke of a device is to add an oled screen and they might but nobody is going to buy it. It’s a lot more likely they are working on a psp/vita successor on the level of a steam deck or ASUS rog ally

@@TigerSuit24 everyone said no one would but the Portal and it sold out.

@@ryans413 yes....that is exactly what I would expect. And its the most logical choice. Because people want a portable device that is totally integrated with their console if not a hybrid system ala the Switch. If you are holding out for a portable device with a new physical media platform then you are only setting yourself up for disapointment. The only way to integrate a handheld device with a console is through streaming. Especially if you want said device to run the same games. With cloud streaming the console does the heavy lifting freeing the portable device to run the games. Just look at how under powered the Switch is and how it can barely run many games because of its limitations. Thats not what Playstation owners want. They clearly want a way to play the console games on the go, and the Portal proves that.

They definitely need a PSP follow up with a design based on this

That’s the one thing I’ve not tested yet but I’m hearing that it can be hit and miss still

so you can be out away from the house and it works on any wifi connection?

@davidatkinson6267 yes

I just got the portal and i experience no lag im amazed

how did you connect to a hotel

Facts bro!! The portal is dope! Glad I picked one up.

Bro do you get any input lag or delays?

@abidhussan5604 I se to, depends on your internet on the portal (like if your away from home) But your best bet is to have your PS5 connected to an ethernet cable. So that way your not pulling from your home wifi to stream to another. It'll be a stronger stable direct connection to your ps5 to give your portal a stable connection as well, just make sure your on a good wifi connection too.

@@rikko47 see if you’re home with like a 120mbs average download and like 26 upload, would that be good?

@abidhussan5604 if your at home, trust me that's more than enough

It’s mostly nit picked by people who don’t play PlayStation very much or have poor internet and connectivity issues, or aren’t willing to pay £200 to play only PS games

​@@SpuddGamingPSVR2 having same problems from crazy xbox fans with dedicated ps hate channels. So many of them on YT smh.

Facts

Do you have to let your ps on restmod to play on it

@@wy_tryyup all it can do is remote play . Nothing more . Ur phone can do exactly the same thang except ur phone doesn’t have the nice controls

My nugga

Thank you very much 😁

@SpuddGaming ya bro thanks for the great content, keep it up!

I was thinking the same

If ur off on a plane just turn all your Wi-Fi off

Why then the portal would cost more the 1080p LED screen is fine.

Yes you can power on your console from the portal as long as it is in rest mode and you have gone into the “power saving” settings on your PS5 and enabled “enable turning on PS5 from network”. You can then activate your PS5 from the portal no matter where you are. You can connect to public WiFi like in a hotel now as this was added in the latest software update

I’ve used mine on my phones hotspot on numerous road trips and it always works great, there’s a little lagging if my phone service drops. In terms of Wi-Fi it usually works perfectly with 2/3 bars of WiFi, 1/3 is when I start to notice some lagging

Do you usually use the portal outside?

My PS5 is wireless and works just fine for me it’s peoples wifi coverage in there homes it’s probably awful.

It was just those people that wanted a dedicated handheld that hated this thing. Same idiots that said just youse your phone with the backbone.

Until the PS6 arrives in a year or 2 and this predictably won't work with it.

I believe it mirrors gameplay to your ps5, so i doubt it

it can

💜

😂 just for remote play device $200 worth??

Yeah tbh. It is so convenient, and easy to use when the tv is occupied ​@kapilbwin6090

​@@kapilbwin6090 dude theres pro controllers that cost that, its a normal price for a device like that, if you think its expensive dont buy it 😂

Yes steam deck can do more, but it’s double the price so you would expect it to. So many people say “X device is better” and to that I say, well you’re paying more so I should hope it is or you’re wasting your money 😅

@@SpuddGaming true 😅

Damn, that’s a struggle

I live in countryside and ended up getting Starlink getting around 350mb download and 28mb upload and portal seems to work good😊

@@waifuowner911 I live in a holler between two mountains. Satellites don’t work here. I’m lucky there’s even one internet provider at all in this area, and that it stretched its DSL out this far. If I could get Starlink I definitely would.

@briandprice1981 Close, Southeastern Kentucky. Most of Appalachia is in the same boat outside of towns and cities I guess.

Yes PS Play, that’s a work around if you want to do it that way, I did that when I was testing the original Ally last year, I did search for it when I was testing the Ally X but I couldn’t find it so I wonder if it’s been taken off the store, or had been temporarily maybe

Because I don’t own one and have never reviewed one. I’ve reviewed all the others and gotten hands on with them but I can’t really talk too much about a device without having used it myself

@@SpuddGaming Ah I see, makes sense. I don't know why I thought you would have one as well.

Thank you 😁

Dude me to, I got mine pre ordered at launch and it always worked bad ass no issues, but now for some reason I’ve noticed the quality of the games have gone down since the last update. Have no idea why

@@Jus_dope95have you tried remove the wifi network and then connect to it again? Sorts out several problems with both my iPad Air and Samsung S22 Ultra. I do have a hidden network, but these two devices are the only ones acting up from time to time.

@@callumhollamby2189 yes the mic is available with the portal just as it is with the actual controller

Yes it works just the same as on the PS5 controller

Yes

Why is everyone tripping over the Bluetooth the built in speakers sound fine.

@ryans413 They do I have played world of tanks using the speakers and they sound fine, only use a pulse elite Because I play games that require to speak to people, and there's nothing like having a microphone close to your mouth, but still you're right.The Built in speakers sound good

​@@ryans413my only issue is the Bluetooth, if I'm in public somewhere with this thing I don't wanna be the asshole with this thing being loud, other then that it's probably going to have me playing my PS5 more now

@@holamix true good point

@@holamixjust get a €5 usb-c to 3.5mm adapter 👍🏻

Living the life

Thank you 😁

I play it laying in my bed. Sometimes in the morning sometimes at night.

@@ryans413 = conveniency, bro I’ve bought 4 new games and have beaten 2 games since I’ve gotten the portal

seems like you have poor connection, 5G hotspot from the phone have very steady connection without delay

@@stephen729 this was happening on a 5G connection with AT&T unfortunately. I wish it would’ve worked for me

@@RowdyRichh ic, although it can connect outside of home, its a device made mainly for use at home so its not the best device for you anyway as you dont use it at home

​@stephen729 not much of a portal if you have to be home to get it to work optimally.

@@Codyslx that’s what I was thinking. If I wanted to play at home, I’d just play on the tv

You should be able to connect to it via hotspot if the connection is good enough, it’s not as reliable as home WiFi but it should still work yes

No the thumb stick unscrew which is nice you can replace them once parts become available

The Bluetooth is a big drawback for sure, I want to use my wireless headset with it but can’t and that sucks. I’ve only had a stutter issue once when my internet dropped out but 99.9% of the time it’s been fine. Curious as to what you want the HDMI for on a device of this type though

Bluetooth is not really that big of an issue. The stutter is probably your own internet setup not the portals and why do you need an hdmi connection for.

@@SpuddGaming HDMI would be huge if you are a big traveler like I am, If I wanted to play it as a controller and have it up on my hotel room tv would be awesome.

Correct

Thanks my dude 😁
