As a father of two young kids, i believe this product was designed for me. If we have a lazy day around the house, I can let them have the tv and i dont have to wait til they go to bed to play games. Pre-ordered weeks ago.
-
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to have this as a stand alone handheld device
-
Thank you for such a well thought out review, you answered every question I could’ve come up with.
-
I have a Backbone with my iPhone and find myself holding it a little too close to my face due to my screen being so small, so I was glad when I saw how big the screen is. I appreciate this video and your honesty.
-
Thank you for your review.
-
This is nice. Long as your system is hooked up at home, you can connect to WiFi & play whatever’s on your system
-
I don't think you can appreciate how good your videos actually are. Very informative and to the point. Keep it up👍🏾
-
Lot of people definitely might not find a purpose for this but for parents out there, this is gold.
-
Hol'up, what's the airplane mode for???
-
Nice Portal, it does look great and at £200 might be worth it, but as you have said, more so if they open it up to the Direct Streaming from the Gaming Cloud then yes it would then become more versatile and thus more worth the money, even though as you point out about the 'Backbone' and if that is worth £100 then unreservedly it is worth the money in that case!
-
Now the plan to buy: ps5 pro, ps portal, airbuds for it and gta6 ... and life is good.
-
They lost me solely for all the limitations it has for being actually portable. It looks awesome, if it was more like a switch then I would not hesitate to buy.

You actually can use remote play as a second controller, i've played many times like that. You do remote play as player 1 and use a regular dualshock as player too. You can do the same with xbox. You cant connect directly but you can use as second controller. Its sometimes useful. Another use is for who wants to save cellphone battery using a portal instead. Last advantage is use a pal's console, you dont nees to use it with your own console, as long as not in the same time (on single player games)
-
When playing the portal, does the disc need to be loaded into the PS5 to play. Or, are you able to play any disc game regardless of whether the disc is loaded or not?
-
4:15 "a few others" Gets all handhelds in existence
-
The Matilda shot at 6:28 made my day 🥲
-
Absolutely mind blowing that they won’t allow you to stream any of the cloud games from your PS Plus subscription. Such a strange choice when it seems like a perfect use case for the Portal.
-
What if the controller breaks down? Do you have to replace the whole thing?
-
Best review i found on YouTube!
