To be fair, you can do it a lot cheaper and a lot better. Instead of buying a £250 WD Black, but a Crucial P3 for £100 less. Instead of buying the stand, just don't and save £30. It's a piece of crap. Instead of buying the discless version and the disc reader, just buy the older version preowned for like £350. Save yourself another £150. Instead of buying the Portal, but a Steam Deck and stream to that. Most of this was a case of throwing money at something that is just bad to have a look.

Seriously, if Sony had made the PS Portal capable of streaming cloud games on its own without the use of a PS5, they'd actually have a decent product on their hands Suddenly it's not an overpriced remote but rather a cheaper way to still enjoy PS5 games on the go, anywhere you want, without the need to buy a PS5 Which of course is the crux of the issue, they want you to own a PS5 AND the Portal

That's a completely different setup for them then though. At the moment, your PS5 is the workhorse, the Portal just streams. What you're suggesting would mean they would need entire datacentres of PS consoles setup to stream to the Portal. That would be an enormous startup cost. I'm not a fan of the Portal, but that would seem incredibly expensive for little payoff. The only way they could do that is if they had significant subscription fees as well every month.

Thing about the PS Portal (PSP) is all those things are software issues, so they could be updated out. Add the feature to connect it to the PS+ Cloud Service; improve the streaming service with frame dropping; and if the CPU is strong enough; qualify some really light games as "PS Portal Compatible" and have them ablt to be played on the PSP. The unfortunate thing is as said, it doesnt have Bluetooth so you cant connect headphones etc..to it. And it doesnt have an SDcard Slot for saving extra "PS Portal" games too. If it had those 2 things, when they designed it then the whole thing could be enhanced. The could even still restrict it via software to still need to register with your PS5 to keep it enabled for the extra services via your Sony account.

Honestly i really like that you took your time to explain a bit of the ssd and heatsink which I didn’t know and also explain what happens if you use a used disk drive👏👏👏 subscribed for that

Every piece of hardware requires software or firmware to function. Firmware is stored on a flash chip while software is stored on a hdd/ssd. A disk drive requires firmware to communicate to the computer/console as well as operate the copyright checks and other initializations and the maintenance (updates) is required to keep copyright checks secure and also drives need firmware updates to prevent firmware flashing which can be used as an exploit to install malware or cfw.

Re. Remote Play, we recently bought a PS5 Slim. My son has a 4 Pro in his room. Remote Play was ok ish, but not great. At the weekend I installed wired gigabit Ethernet (with Cat6a - because I figured I’d future proof it). The Remote Play experience is now virtually flawless! Lag is imperceivable. You do still get image compression, but on the 4 Pro it works at 1080p. I imagine the Portal would be great if your network can really support it perfectly.

This is amazing 😊

They knocked this generation out of the park imo. I have ps5 paired with xm3’s a pc and a switch and I’ve been having a blast gaming. Psvr2 has been fun, waiting on a full adventure like Skyrim vr. Also hoping for pc integration for psvr2 some point down the line.
