Decided to buy one so i can jump into bed in to escape the cold winter coming.
Noticed that there is Cashback 10% and backorder shipping on 18th April 2024.
Check you Amex or credit card rewards to see if you get cash back for spending at Sony. I recall I had it on my Amex but it must have expired. \
I got confirmation for cashback for $29.99
It tracked, doesn’t mean you’ll get the payout

These are getting dumped on Marketplace because not everyone has a Certificate IV in Information Technology (Networking).
I’ve seen plenty at RRP on marketplace too!
Tried it once
Unwanted present
I have a feeling they’ll be cheap as pretty soon
Or because they are rather pointless, use your phone with a controller
Phone and controller is a horrible experience. I don't want text messages and phone calls in the middle of playing my games popping on the screen.
Turn those off them?
@Mooncakes: huh? I thought I was clear. Dedicated gaming device is better than phone
portal is good, portal gets lots of use
Notch :(
Also phone too small
Overpriced.
You could just about get a Nintendo Switch for this money. The Switch has so much more value in my opinion. Mod it and use Chiaki to remote play PS4/PS5, and any switch games too.
Switch Lite RRP is 330. Portal doesn't plug into the tele either so it's a fair comparison
Guy on marketplace had one for 280 and I offered 230 and he accepted, but even then I still didn't want it for that much money
(profanity) ps vita did remote play and was it's own whole ass console, bought mine at EB over 10 years ago for 200 new. Ridiculous price for a ridiculous device.
But begging bc it's RRP

Sony, MS and Nintendo just aren’t trying anymore. It’s time for someone new to enter the market again and shake things up…or for Sega to return.
overpriced. i'm 100% sure they'll stop making these soon enough.. stock will be liquidated. hang in there if you really want this…
Maybe I’ll cancel my order actually
We have this, a ROG Ally and the Switch in our household. This gets used the most at the moment due to the quality of PS5 games. Works on the road via Wi-fi or phone hotspot just fine. Ergonomically it's by far the best. Only real downside is that you can't use Bluetooth headphones, but chi-fi IEMs go great. I actually think this is massively underrated.
People complaining about bluetooth headphones when there's a perfectly fine 3.5mm jack like the good old days is a sign of late stage capitalism.
People wanting to use their existing Bluetooth headphones instead of having to buy another wired pair is actually the opposite of being capitalistic.
The 3.5mm Jack is utterly useless to Bluetooth headphone users.
It's the opposite of "perfectly fine" 😁
Yea I’ve got the Switch and this. Portal gets most use by far. Sure it’s an expensive toy for what you get but it’s got me back into gaming on my PS5 after months of basically not touching it much at all.
Steam deck + chiaki + bed = hail satan
Huh whats the bargain? Also this is could potentially be a terrible experience if your wifi isnt fast enough or your ps5 is not hooked on ethernet…
Overpriced for what it is.
These will likely go down in price sooner
May be worth picking up if it’s under $100
It's not a very good streaming device for this price
I feel like people think it's a new PSP. When you can remote play with a phone and PS5 controller instead.
So this is pretty much like steam link/moonlight for pc right?
Surely there's an Android app somewhere that will turn your phone into this
Yup there is.
