Did anyone else get their Playstation Portal? I’m having issues with couch seating and my natural grip position. The grip is fine, but the screen angle points upward too much, resulting in glare from whatever is behind and above me (a window, no less). I can change my grip to angle the screen downward towards me, but it’s really uncomfortable. Things are better if I sit straight up and hold the Portal lower.
But I’m a a creature of comfort and I’m going to be sitting chill on the couch using this thing. I honestly don’t understand how this is even a problem; I never even thought about this ever with my Switch or Steam Deck. Did Playstation not, like, survey a bunch of 30-50 year olds who are probably gonna kick back on a couch to use this thing?
Update: I changed my grip a bit and it helped! Also, holding it upright closer to my face feels okay, too. Lost track of time and my hand wasn’t in any discomfort after a few hours, trying various games in different genres.
It’s obviously not for you, but it seems like a great device for specific niche. Not all devices needs to be able to do multiple things and used by everyone
Exactly. I could say the same thing about the elite controller which is also $200, but I don’t, because I realize that it’s just not for me. People need to accept that sometimes they just aren’t the target market.
The portal is a long term play by Sony to have a device category suited for eventual expansion into cloud gaming. I bet they are finding tremendous value in gathering user usage insights to better their overall remote play/cloud offerings for future versions of Portal.
I’ll try to remember to leave places as an echo chamber so you only hear good things…
You didn’t even state an opinion. If you had I’m sure you would have gotten some upvotes since not everyone here likes the portal. Some do, some don’t. You asked what the portal was and then spouted how much you love your PC. All opinions are welcome but that doesn’t mean they have to be liked or upvoted.
Also, we don’t do PC/console wars here. I have a Gaming PC, Steam Deck, Switch, PS5, PS Portal, and Quest 2. That doesn’t make me better than anyone else.
