PS Portal is a terrible device, but also name another device in the $200 price range you can use to stream PS5 games with good ergonomics and a good display…
E: please read the last 5 words again before suggesting tablets and phones.
It is if you get a tablet with a case that can prop it up and then use a wireless controller. You’re being inflexible, there are options out there other than a portal. My Lenovo tablet was 99 pounds brand new and a case came with it to prop it.
I’m not “being inflexible”, I’m pointing out that those are not comparable options.
I mean I could buy a Origin PC that has a PlayStation 5 built into it and strap it to my back and mount a TV to my waist as I walk around. That’s totally the same thing, right?
I think the Logitech G Cloud would fit in that category, when on sale (otherwise it’s $350 USD, so at that point you might as well get the 64G Deck).
Afaict it’s $250 USD with a promo code now and since it’s basically a tweaked Android ROM, you can stream Game pass, your PS4/PS5 (via PS Play) or Geforce Now and even do some light emulation (up to DC just fine).
Ergonomics and screen are pretty great from what I recall, after testing one a few months ago.
That was on Logitech’s website and after adding it to the cart, no idea about Amazon.
It might not look the part, but I’m talking from experience and it was just a notch below the Deck’s ergonomics tbh.
I think that’s debatable, as many still prefer the Xbox controller design and layout, but I’m biased towards the Dual Sense (as well?), sure.
And please, for the love of every other real handheld that came before it, don’t abbreviate it as PSP…

You can buy a $15 phone clip to attach your phone to your controller, and enjoy remote play that way.
Staring at a 6" display is not a good time.
There are controller cradles for tablets as well. The best display I have is the 10" 1600p 120Hz display of my tablet.
6" is huge my computer monitor was barely bigger 20 years ago
But i get your point but to save you money homey get you a old Samsung Oled Tablet probably way bigger screen too
Right, because that will be ergonomic and is totally comparable to a brand new device…

I’m seeing it for sale on Amazon for $300 still, and the ergonomics look like crap. PSP has what is widely regarded as the best controller ever made.

Backbone One PlayStation Edition will make use of your existing phone screen.
I specifically said “with good ergonomics and a good display”.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
Yes because a cheap used tablet is totally comparable to a brand new handheld display with ergonomic controls attached.
Better even. It can be used as a standalone device. ;)
