how are they going to put out a device without Bluetooth!? My daughter got a jeep for her doll and even it has Bluetooth speakers, LOL. Otherwise it looks pretty cool!
Blue tooth really doesnt work well with remote play, it casuses a lot of audio/visual latency issue. The portal already has some issues with latency as it is, if you add blue tooth it would only exacerbate it
It’s because Bluetooth is a low frequency which interferes with remote play. It’s like playing on 2.4ghz of WiFi anything like a microwave , radio and etc can block the connection signal which is why Sony does not like Bluetooth in their devices. So they make their own version which is PlayStation link
As a playstation 5 gamer who has access to my tv all the time i thought the portal would not be needed well my interest won over and i purchased the portal and am so glad i did i have access to my games anywhere i go (with good wifi) im very impressed with it and its great lying in bed playing games it was a win for me.
Thanks for your review. I am waiting for my portal. I bought it so can lay in bed after work and play games and watch tv before I sleep. I think it will work for me. ❤
Great review!! The Portal is my Christmas gift to myself, and I can’t wait to open it up and use it!! Definitely the perfect device for me, since I travel often and miss playing my games when I’m gone. 👌🏾
Thank you!! Mine was also a Christmas gift to myself 😊. I travel a lot too so I'm hoping to take it with me on some trips. I need a backpack big enough lol
I've been eyeing this device since December (got a PS5 for Christmas) and I see my local Best Buy just got 10 in stock. It's just hard to justify the price ($270 + tax in Canada) for a device that relies on another device to play games.
Kinfolk!! The PSP wasn’t even on my radar, but now I’m really intrigued. I usually play more “grindy” games on my PS5 and save the cozy ones for my Switch. This handheld aspect could potentially change up that vibe 🤔
Not having Blue tooth kinda makes sense, blue tooth and remotes play never mixe well and creetaes alot of audio/visual latency issues. The PS portal already has latency issues, adding blue tooth would only excaserhate that issue. The other thing you forgot mention is the portal does NOT have a web brroser. So you would not be able to use this in a resturant, airplane,air port etc etc as most public wifi networks require you to accept their TOS via web browser before you are able to use it
Great review. I love mine and I agree with all your points. I love laying on the couch or playing in the bed. Strongly enough I've been playing fat more games now because everything looks really good on the screen. And better graphics than any standalone portable device.
