I don't understand the point of this thing. For the same price you could just buy another telly for a different room and move the console, it's not like it takes much effort to unplug two wires. I honestly can't think of a single scenario where it would be useful to own one.
I probably would agree with you before but I got a Steam Deck and it’s been amazing. Games that aren’t too intensive can play on the handheld and anything else streams from my gaming PC. Sony should have made a new Vita that competes with that. Instead this seems to be streaming only.
I get the appeal of the Steam Deck, especially for people who travel alot, though I personally wouldn't get one.
But this has to be on the same network as your ps5 doesn't it? So the only time this is ever going to be useful is if your partner or something wants to use the main TV and is more expensive then just buying a litte monitor or something for your bedroom, so what's the point in it? The ps5 isn't exactly heavy or awkward to move like my gaming PC is.
