-GD-X★ 8,298 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 it was streaming off of a co-worker's wireless hotspot. i played the astro demo, since i wanted to see the latency and controller functionality in motion. my review....it was mostly great. the image quality held up well (res dropped once - looked 480p for a few seconds) and there was only one bout of slowdown (nothing game-breaking). would i get it? maybe if it hits $100. it feels great and the screen is gorgeous. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,437 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It is surprisingly a legit little game controller tablet for an accessory. I tried my colleagues as well and was pleasantly surprised. I’d buy one if they put PlayStation Now streaming on it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tainted 23 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I would get a PS Portal if I could get my PS AND my Xbox games to stream to it. Judging by the pictures online and the video reviews, it looks cool. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am very sorry. but for real, when this thing inevitably hits $100, i'll get it. it's way better than i expected. it's not worth $200, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 5,015 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I would just use Chiaki on the Steam Deck instead of buying a Portal.. even at $100. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yea. I'd see how it works out for you in either case. I mean, for $100 the Portal definitely isn't a bad purchase. I suppose if you're REALLY into having the Dualsense features for Playstation games, then it would be a no brainer at that price.. but for me it wouldn't be worth it. That $100 would stay in the bank waiting for Steam Deck 2 and Switch 2. Two much better upcoming devices. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You can use your already existing dual sense and pair it to your phone. Unless the game doesn’t provide haptics that way, idk. and the screen is 1080p and LCD and only 60fps, how can it be better lol. Link to post Share on other sites

I’d love just to stream PlayStation Classics and PS3 games, that’s it… without the PS5 being turned on. Edited August 3 by lynux3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
