Tv with the ps5 is downstairs, wife wants me to hang out and not just watch me play games, I want to game. I grab the portal and sit on the couch next to wife while she watches tv. We all win.
That seems like a very expensive way of avoiding talking to your wife.
Or it’s so I can talk to her instead of ignoring her…….
I get it, there’s a fancy piece of equipment and you cant find a use for it, so now you insult the people who point out the extremely obvious answer you missed.
I was only trying to be funny, apologies. I thought it was ludicrous enough that it'd pass. Channeling some boomer humour.
Seriously though, I do understand the appeal of it, just not the appeal-to-price ratio. £200 is a lot of money for a glorified screen mirroring device. It's not that it's overpriced per se (it's probably about right in terms of the cost of the hardware), just that I don't understand how it can be worth it with that functionality at that price point.
It's not useless. But it's not useful for a lot of people.
Huh, just like anything else on the market….
The question then is: is it useful for enough people?
