so you buy this thing to play the ps5 you already bought on a smaller screen through wifi?

lmao

Man this thing is going to crash and burn. Who is it for? You need a PS5 already to use it so it’s not actually a competitor to the Switch or Steam Deck

This is like the little screen you could get for the redesigned PsX I guess? I dont see a modern use for it.

I don’t think internal specs have been leaked yet. Currently we know it’s a (probably cheap) 1080p LCD tablet with wifi streaming only and Sony is going to absolutely lock down any utility you could get out of it. 200 bucks to get a mid tier LCD panel that’s fixed to a PS5 controller, and can only stream in your house over wifi. It’s such a niche use case, most of these will end up e-waste, a few will find users that love it, and depending on the still unknown internal specs, some people (like me) might be interested in buying one on the cheap for emulation capabilities. I’m not a coder though, so for people like me I also have to wait for a jailbreak and custom OS.

I think it’ll either end up a massive flop, or in 5 years it will he a “hey, remember how this exists” thing.

Your thoughts?

Yeah I'm going to wait until the inevitable fire sale because this is silly. I'd pick one up for a hundred tho

I watched some Japanese reviews of the Steam Deck and the comments were full of Japanese gamers wishing Sony would make a similar product. Instead they make this, lol

Play PS5 games over home wifi?

Yeah, I can already do that... It's called "Remote Play".

Busted my achilles tendon, got stuck in bed, being able to play PS5 and Xbox Series X games remotely on my Steam Deck was a lifesaver!
