Honestly the PS Portal seems extremely expensive for a remote play only device.
Compared to what, exactly?
I feel like the Deck is a much better value
It absolutely is. It’s also, at minimum, double the price.
Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal

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

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.

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.
