It's awesome really. At this price, I can see myself buying this. I don't play on the go anyways, either at home or at my parents.
The PlayStation fambase is kinda ridiculous because on the one hand they're bothered by games being developed for the PS4 still, arguably downgrading them; while then wishing for an even worse handheld console and expecting devs would support it.
It would've caused awful fragmentation in the current ecosystem. Having your ps5 on the go is really the best they could've done.
Also, people complaining about latency but also complaining Bluetooth isn't supported. Make up your mind. I'm happy for this new PlayStation link thing. For the people that don't understand, it's basically the 2.4ghz adapter that comes with every headset, being built into the hardware, as Xbox has had it for years. Not requiring you to need that dongle anymore. Having that also on the handheld is perfect for good quality, low latency audio.
The only thing I really don't get is why you can't connect to the ps premium streaming directly from the handheld. Wishful thinking it just wasn't ready in time and will get added later, because connecting to a server would be cheaper, and faster if you're far from home, than your actual console. Obviously it would also give the great benefit of having games at hand without installing, updating, etc.
Not being able to stream games from the streaming catalog is my biggest issue with this. If it could do that, I'd definitely get it. As it is now, I'll wait and see if it does support it eventually. Though I'm not holding my breath
Yea I totally agree on that. Although from what I read it sounded like streaming directly onto the console wasn't possible.
I mean in it wouldn't really make sense you could not stream a game to the console and from there to the handheld? Maybe that's what they meant.
And streaming onto the console directly is something they could add in the future. Obviously there's no guarantee, but it would turn this from a meh device to a very good one imo
