    I’m just gonna drop this comment to say this community seems super disappointing. Just a circle jerk. It’s not a competition between your favorite thing and another thing. It’s okay for some people to spend less for something else.

    I really hate communities that act this way. it’s so weird. And for what.

      Personally I was just really disappointed with the PS Portal pricing, feels priced far too high for what it is. I think stream only devices can be decent, but they need to be priced more competitively.

        Shrug, the thing sold out at that price point. It can be “too expensive” and also the right price for the market.

        And honestly, a display, an arm chipset, good wifi, Bluetooth, all the dualsense modules. The cost of production adds up.

        There have been a lot of armchair experts around this thing whinging about it, but people who bought them are super happy. Why rain on that parade? Just be cool about it.

        I’m not a PS Portal customer at any price point and I’m a consistent Sony customer. Maybe if they got it down to the $99-$129 range? It just doesn’t make any sense to me given the options out there.

        It’s priced badly but idk if I can call it priced unreasonably because it contains a dualsense controller which is expensive as is.
