    It’s not for the kid who has his ps5 in his room, or the single adult who has full access all the time to sit on his living room couch eating cheerios in his underwear. It’s also not for the single guy making his living by reviewing video game junk that comes out in hopes of being paid for what he writes.

    It’s for families where mom or dad or sibling wants the TV for other things. So you can go back to the bedroom or den or garage or wherever else that isn’t blasting the 20th straight episode of my little pony and get some game time in.

    It’s 200 bucks. Ok. I have a game laptop and a steam deck. I never use the laptop anymore. The steam deck is too quick and easy. Streaming to cell phones gets you a smaller screen, smaller battery, and need to spend $100 on a gaming controller anyhow. You also can’t start up the ps5 and move things along so quickly. Also with phones streaming like this, the gyro isn’t as precise/great to use compared to a ps5 controller. I assume this screen/controller Playstation device works as well as their ps5 controller does.

    So yeah. It’s $200 for something that you may be able to do almost as well for free…but it’s not free. It’s based on if you already own hundreds of dollars worth of other things, m9st of which wouldn’t work quite as well.

      Steam deck is too quick and easy? You want it to be more difficult?

          I wasn’t suggesting steam deck, I was just confused about their points dismissing it. Since they sdmit to already owning one.
