[@erinthomas3476]

I really appreciate this review. I’ve been on the fence because I paid $100 for the PlayStation Backbone. At the time I didn’t realize the nice game features advertised you only get with a subscription to their app. Ridiculous. Anyway, I hate how it feels because it’s just too small for my hands to get a comfortable grip. I’ve had to be very mobile this summer and playing remotely has been a great option, but frustrating. I also hate that when I have to use my phone for gaming, if I exit the app at all, I have to go through the tedious reconnecting process. So answering texts or phone calls is really frustrating. This review makes me realize I’ll probably enjoy gaming much more with the portal.

[@georgiatopley7516]

i LOVE it because when i’m sad i can put sport/movies on my main tv and use it to play my games. 10/10 distraction right there, priceless

[@realshadowlord]

Nice vid! It sounds like it has a few short-comings that the switch also had on release (like lacking bluetooth to headphones). I'm curious to see how both Nintendo and Sony improve the product even further with possible next generation versions

Its got a solid foundation, just needs a few updates and id have no complaints! Thanks for watching :)

[@troycyr1892]

The portal is beautiful and I wanted it, but where I’m at it’s $300 and the backbone one is $100, main reason for wanting this type of platform was to play anywhere anytime on the go so I went with the backbone. As long as I have service to phone I can play.

@Arctis326 yea but phone unlimited data and gotta trade in every two years always gonna have a phone so ergonomically it works in my favor.

[@GalactusTheDestroyer]

When it first launched I didn't think it was for me. However at my new place, I don't have room for a multi monitor setup. Thus my PS5 and PC are connected to the same monitor. It's annoying that when I'm on my PS5, I can't use my PC for anything. There are lots of times I need my pc access AND ps5 at the same time. The portal would absolutely solve that for me. I can keep the portal next to me and let it be my primary PS5 device while I'm not gaming a game that has VR like GT7. But I would absolutely play it more if I had it.

[@vitorapereira9469]

Or buy a cheaper monitor 😅

[@TheBatmanMan1]

The Portal is the absolute best purchase I’ve made in the last few years. I tried the backbone at first, mostly because I wasn’t sure how well game streaming would work with my internet. During that time, I improved my internet set up in the house, developed an appreciation for playing over a streaming device, and also noted a few things about the backbone that I wasn’t a fan of… Big draw backs to the backbone for me: first, set up is tedious - it’s easy enough to pop it in to the controller, but going through the app and hooking it up to your system each time takes a good while. Portal is much faster in this regard, I’d say it connects in about half the time on average. Second, it’s a huge pain having my phone be the device I’m playing on, because any time I get a call or need to look something up for a game I’m playing, I’ve gotta disconnect and go do xyz and then come back and reconnect. Much better to have a dedicated device. Third, using your phone absolutely kills your battery - there’s a way you can have it plugged in while you play with a power bank or something, but then I saw where it can cause long term damage to your phone battery. If there’s even a chance of that being true, I’d rather not mess with it. Anyway, got my portal and holy cow, it’s been amazing. As a dad, it’s been fantastic - went from my PS5 basically being a TV and Movie streaming device, to actually - finally - being able to play games on it. And at least for me personally, a lot of the biggest gripes about the system don’t bother me. I prefer wired headphones anyway, my internet is good enough - it’s just got everything I’m looking for. Oh and recently I was able to test out something I’ve been wanting to test for a while now. We were on a family trip several states away. I brought my Portal and hooked up to the internet at my relatives house and was able to play my PS5 sitting in my house near perfectly. Picture was perhaps a teeny bit on the blurry side, but seriously, that’s it. I’m not really a snob about visuals so it was a huge win for me.

[@jarathen1625]

Chiaki4Deck works for me, but even with that experience, the button disconnect still throws me, and I've been playing the PlayStation and/or XBox consoles for decades. Also both the Deck and Switch were vastly improved for me with the Satisfye Grips.

My 2 biggest issues with the portal is it's portability and that it's locked to just my PlayStation. It's size means it's impossible to fit into my purse even when its the only thing in there and I really don't want to carry around a giant purse just to play my PlayStation on my lunch breaks. The backbone and even the gamesir g8 fit in my purse so much better and still leave space for the rest of my stuff. The backbone and gamesir also let me play my PC games through moonlight or steamlink and xbox eother through the gamepass app or remote play on the xbox. My husband and I share the consoles and while we've talked about the portal and how amazing it looks, it just wouldn't serve us any good over it's cheaper options.

It's the best option if you have to share the tv and don't already have a steamdeck or android handheld. I still think it's a high cost for a single use case and would recommend going for the deck if you can afford it though.

Backbone or using an iPad is better. The controller feedback isn’t enough. I can just use my 13 in iPad if I don’t wanna use my phone and use a ps5 controller. I normally use a Xbox series x controller but no big deal. A portal just to remote play PlayStation is my point exactly why they are a scam.

Or for about 40 to 50 dollars cheaper than the PS portal you can go with a retroid pocket 3+.

Plus contains a full desktop computer environment
