@thefourfoldroot1 now that’s something I can’t comment on. From what I’ve heard it should be the same if not somewhat better, but peoples network will dictate.
One thing for everyone to know, games DO have a minor lag but your mileage on spotting these can vary. For me this hasn’t detracted from the enjoyment of the machine or experiences
@ear_wig great comments on the games and I echo what you say about the machine. I had a blast with Returnal for 30 mins and performance was fantastic, with my PS5 wired into my router.
I think people bad mouth the Portal as they don’t need to play away from the TV which is the whole point of the device.
I’m keen to see how Sony improve the device from a software perspective in the months ahead.
@Gator_Rican had the same question and looks like we’ll be disabling the feature on our TV’s, unless Sony update the portal not to enable HDMI automatically
@__jamiie I’ve two young children and a wife and never have chance to play my PS5 games on the TV. Playing on the couch whilst the wife watches TV and allows us to talk is perfect
Love the MK Series and it’s awesome seeing it back in pop culture again! I loved MK11 as the first MK game I’d played since MK1 and MK2, so made me happy.
I’m sure more updates will come to the game and we’ll all be playing 4 years from now.
@EpicMouse I thought everyone used Turkey PSN store to feast on goodies 🦃🇹🇷 Oh well, here Sony take £199 for my Portal and another £200 as I can’t use my Bluetooth headphones 🤣

Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)
Just played 2 hours of Cyberpunk 2.0 on the Portal and it’s bloody fantastic! Bit glitchy for couple of mins after 1 hour but then fine.
It really feels like you’ve got a PS5 in your hands

@thefourfoldroot1 most places you can return within 14 days if you don’t like 👍🏻

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@ear_wig yeah switch off 120hz and ensure nothings downloading or uploading at the time of playing.
One thing I think people forget about the Portal is how good the overall feeling of playing a PlayStation 5 in your hands is. Returnal is a wow moment
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@ear_wig Returnal has been the best performer so far but most games trouble free. I have the PS5 wired into Router and on a 150Mb connection
Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer
Got a Portal and pulled the trigger on Cyberpunk 2077 for £23.99.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@tselliot why so serious? 😆
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@ear_wig you had me at Returnal which is my main reason for wanting a portal to play in bed and it’s awesome!!
Ok some minor dips but on the whole fantastic! Love the display too.
What’s your thoughts?
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@Kraven ignore the misses and treat yourself even though your in trouble
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@ear_wig would love to hear your experience and make sure it’s wired into your router
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@TheCollector316 it’s a fun machine and I treated myself and don’t regret it. The way it plays and screen is beautiful
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
I’ve been enjoying my Portal since yesterday and yes there’s very minor lag on certain games but the experience playing on the device is magic
Re: Sony Says PS Portal Wasn't Designed to Make a Profit
I’ve enjoyed playing with the Portal last night on release. Yes there’s lag but does it affect your enjoyment of the game… no, well depends.
Having access to all my games in the house or outside is great to have.
Re: Guide: PS Portal FAQ - All Your Questions Answered
@Gator_Rican had the same question and looks like we’ll be disabling the feature on our TV’s, unless Sony update the portal not to enable HDMI automatically
Re: Guide: PS Portal FAQ - All Your Questions Answered
@Pranwell get the misses or boyfriend to change the disc in the machine if your away allowing you to play. Physical wins again 😉🤣👍🏻
Re: Guide: PS Portal FAQ - All Your Questions Answered
Unanswered question. If your TV is enabled to switch on when Dualsense or PS5 is switched on, would the Portal do the same?

Re: Twitter Integration to Be Removed from PS5, PS4 Next Week
@Andywax Im sorry and please accept my apology 🙏🏻 Thank you for shutting me down
Re: Twitter Integration to Be Removed from PS5, PS4 Next Week
Almost 70% of people never posted anything so no big deal. PS5 is for playing games and if you wanna use X, pick up your smartphone
Re: EA Sports WRC (PS5) - Don't Swerve This Intense, Well-Rounded Rally Racer
Doesn’t look as nice as WRC Generations and my mate says doesn’t handle as well.

Re: Sony's New PS5 Earbuds and Headset Get Release Dates, Pre-Order Details
So no wireless option day one on Portal! Just enable Bluetooth and then disable as per $ony’s business model 😄

Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
@ear_wig I’m like you, buying Portal for Returnal 👍🏻
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
@NinjaNicky I’ve two kids and know the feeling. I’ve also got Mario Wonder on pre order as looks amazing

@NinjaNicky just treat yourself as life’s too short not to enjoy for a £50 saving.
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
@silverspeed to play when my wife’s watching TV and doesn’t eyeball me when she hears the beep 😀
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
@GeeEssEff great feedback and never taken to this device. I’m buzzing to play the Portal

Do you need Cyberpunk to play Phantom Liberty?
Re: Metal Gear Solid Locked at 30fps in PS5, PS4 Master Collection

Sweet lord!! That’s more than it costs for a PSP 😆
Re: CDPR Recommends a Fresh Save for the Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Phantom Liberty Experience
@Sergo your too modest and see you in Night City 👍🏻
Re: CDPR Recommends a Fresh Save for the Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Phantom Liberty Experience
@Sergo well worded but people do like the excitement of playing day one, regardless of performance issues.
I love waiting for games to drop in price and by then the performance has been sorted as you mentioned Sergo 👍🏻
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5) - Good But Not a Flawless Victory
Love the MK Series and it’s awesome seeing it back in pop culture again! I loved MK11 as the first MK game I’d played since MK1 and MK2, so made me happy.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Has Ray Tracing at 60fps on PS5
This really shows NEXT GEN gaming is here and now! No need for a PS5 Pro and can’t wait to see what other games the studio delivers on like Wolverine
Re: State of Play Livestream Revealed for Thursday, a Focus on Indie and Third-Party Games
@sanderson72 id say Astro pre-installed on PS5 was worth my PS5 purchase alone! It’s fantastic and a love letter to PlayStation.
Re: Fortnite Boss Donald Mustard Is Stepping Down

Re: EA Sports WRC Takes Rallying 'Next-Gen' on PS5 This November

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Clarified as CDPR Lists Patch vs. Phantom Liberty Changes

@Vorlon does Portal come with a case to carry? If not then wondering how people will carry it around
