One is a gaming pc, and the other is a controller with a screen that lags doing its one job.

Quite a price difference to be fair.

Yet Sony’s device main focus should be the screen, since it’s just a portable screen…

The fact that they didn’t even put a WiFi 6 capable card in it shows they don’t give a shit about delivering a good product.
People will still buy it regardless. That’s why they don’t care.

I feel like the fact that this is downvoted is showing the disconnection that Lemmy has as a hub for tech inclined users, I know many people waiting to buy the portal and while I know it’s kind of a useless device, it works for a lot of people and $200 is at about that sweet spot.

It isn’t though? PS portal is $200 and first edition Steam decks are going for $300 on eBay lightly used…
AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I mean, just going by the feature being discussed here, that refurb non-oled doesn’t have it.
The steam deck is a better device by far. By leaps and bounds. It is nice that there is a cheaper option for those that already have a Playstation though. You can get a 15 year old BMW for the price of a base kia. It doesn’t make KIAs and BMWs comparable vehicles.

Honestly the PS Portal seems extremely expensive for a remote play only device. I feel like the Deck is a much better value proposition with it being able to play games on it’s own and work away from your home network.
AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I agree it is. That said. This isn’t an even match, and they are sold as two different use cases.
You should consider any bells and whistles that come with a 500+ device showing up on a 200 device a friggin miracle.

To be fair, the deck can be a lot cheaper than 500+. Comparing a $350 64GB LCD deck to a $200 PS Portal really favors the Deck. Neither device supports HDR at that price, but the Deck can do so much more than the Portal.

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.

Compared to what, exactly?
It absolutely is. It’s also, at minimum, double the price.

Brand new 64GB Decks are still available for $350.

To be fair that's also the LCD, not the OLED the article is discussing, which is 549 minimum
