Wait so it costs like a PSP but it can't do anything without WiFi and another ps5 active on the network?
Seems insanely expensive for what this is
PSP and PS Vita allowed remote play but also could work standalone
It sounds mental, and I suspect there's a key piece of the puzzle missing for now which is cloud play.
I mean, that has to be the plan, right? They can't possibly be releasing a £200 remote play solution just for people who want to play in bed or on the toilet... The market for IBS sufferers with a PS5 can't be that big.
the article not only says
but also says
hopefully it can be hacked and reconfigured to be used with a PC, so i can get it for $50 when they will do the fire sale (i still regret not having bought the ps tv when they got rid for all the stock at 20 euro)
Yes, that's what it says.
But PS5 streaming is in beta, PS3 and 4 streaming have been a thing for ages, and I can't think for a minute that Sony are dumb enough to release a streaming only handheld that they don't plan to connect to their cloud streaming services in the future.
Especially since the PS5 is unlikely to come down in price any time soon. Could be a decent way to get poor/casual gamers paying for a gaming subscription they'll barely use.
I'm a dad. This is pretty much perfect for when my kids are watching TV. But $200 is a bit steep.
"let's see, we've sold one to a Mr. Griffin McElroy"
"Anyone else?"
"No"
Yes it has about the same components as a PSP, so of course it cost the same. ~~It's such a big insult to a PSP having the same name.~~
But it doesn’t have the same name…
I'm able to read that remote Player, but the first part is the same.
Portal != Portable
my bad. Seem i'm indeed bad at reading.
