I kinda have a feeling a lot of folks were like me, bought it and then never use it. Seemed like a must-have gadget but it really is a phone with a dualsense. No “secret sauce” (digital foundry) to streaming from ps5, just the same experience as every other device capable of streaming ps5 game play.
... how?
I came in here to note that most skepticism seems to miss what a niche and fixed-function gizmo this is. It has low aspirations and makes them pretty clear just from looking at the thing. Sony wedged a screen amid a controller. Its R&D budget was not deep. They didn't need to care if most people did not buy one.
I would ask, "what did you buy it for?," except it's only for one thing. If you don't match that single use-case where this thing functions - why would you even consider it?
That's what I had heard. I would have gotten one for a reasonable price. Or if it had PSP/Vita capabilities baked in. I ended up just getting a backbone for my phone and using remote play instead.
