    I won’t buy a portal. I probably would have bought a “PS4 in portal form factor” for twice the price, but streaming isn’t worth it.

    But I have a friend who did, and have had my hands on it, and it is a genuinely really high quality implementation of the mediocre concept.

      I probably would have bought a “PS4 in portal form factor” for twice the price, but streaming isn’t worth it.

      Which brings us back to the Steam Deck, which can also stream PS5 games like the portal, except in HDR (if you have the OLED).

        It would be a handheld console that would play their console library. They’d beat the Steam Deck’s sales volume as fast as they could manufacture them. Also, the Steam deck doesn’t do the triggers, which is a meaningful loss in plenty of PS5 games.

        My actual point, though, was that the build quality for the price is really good.
