Dead on Arrival and I’m fine using a wired headset. Plus you need to use a Dongle on the PS5 which is just stupid!! Imagine you loose the dongle, that’s £200 down the drain!!
Doh!!! It wasn’t clever or smart but I’m sure the game has legs and overall should sell well once it hits the sales. Mario Wonder was £35 most places in run up to release, Sonic was £45!
@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

Do the new features require a new game save?

Re: SEGA Wonders Whether Releasing Sonic Superstars Next to Mario Was a Good Idea

Re: Rediscovered Patent Suggests PS Portal Was In the Works Since at Least 2015
@dschons I hope so and I enjoy seeing improvements 👍🏻
Re: Rediscovered Patent Suggests PS Portal Was In the Works Since at Least 2015
@dschons maybe post a video showing this and upload to Twitter/X to show Sony who can fix 👍🏻
Re: PS Portal Outsells Xbox Series X|S During Launch Week in Spain
@TheMD23 because they don’t need an Xbox using XCLOUD and Gamepass on a PC, Tablet, Phone etc..
Re: Rediscovered Patent Suggests PS Portal Was In the Works Since at Least 2015
@ear_wig I’m sure more updates will elevate the experience but for the first attempt it’s very enjoyable.
Re: Call of Duty 2024 Reportedly Set During First Gulf War
Could we not just have Desert Strike collection and be done with COD. Desert Strike was even a sandbox game!
Re: Sorry Xbox, But Even PS Portal Is Outselling You in Spain
@UltimateOtaku91 ouch!!! That’s a good one 🤣
Re: Sorry Xbox, But Even PS Portal Is Outselling You in Spain
XBOX doesn’t need to sell hardware as Gamepass subscribers is all they focus on. After all, didn’t Phil say PlayStation is part of XBOX family 🤣
Re: Despite Crap Reviews, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Boasts of Engagement Records
@Ennui great comments and your right to say if you enjoyed the game. How many movies get bad mouthed and then later people say “wow it’s a classic!”.
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch
I’d love a cheeky PS5 digital code if anyone has one going please 🙏🏻
Re: Returnal Director Is Leaving Housemarque After 14 Years
@Czar_Khastik hahaha!! Take a bow this is ace!’
Re: Returnal Director Is Leaving Housemarque After 14 Years
Love Returnal and wishing him every success in the future ❤️🌈👍🏻
Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)
@NeonPizza I’m a lover of playing in 4K on 55inch TV but the portal has been a delight!
I’ve had a chance to play Returnal, Cyberpunk and loving it.
For anyone sat on the fence, don’t.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 503
Cyberpunk 2.0 and Returnal on my new PlayStation Portal which is awesome!
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
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@thefourfoldroot1 most places you can return within 14 days if you don’t like 👍🏻
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS Portal?
@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.

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
