Playstation Portal

They did do home delivery

I bought on a whim but I actually love it. By far the nicest handheld I have out of the switch and steam deck too. It has it's limitations but the big screen and controller gives it a big leg up.

There was 10 in Liffey valley this morning and 1 in naas

Hard to say exactly but definitely worth checking the website frequently on Friday, last Friday a lot of stock came in over the course of the day in multiple stores. Keep an eye on Amazon too.

Jervis have 11 right now

Hi all, Can you use the PULSE 3D wireless headsets with the PlayStation portal?

I've the Deck Mate system on my Steam Deck but I see they are now going to make one for the Portal. Attach a handy little kick stand or power bank.

Amazon moved the date, it is now arrving on Monday the 12th, delighted!

If you have one don't sign out. There is a bug that prevents you from signing in. Mine is currently borked.

If you get a new one it can happen too. You get stuck in a "something went wrong error 105" loop

Seems to have just popped up in the last day or two. Hopefully they fix it quick.

I've never logged out previously so it's new to me. But the Reddit posts are all in the last 24 hours.

Ah thats fairly reassuring now to be fair :D

Cheers for the heads up. Decided to pick one up. At the very least I'm sure I'll get more use out of it than the PSVR.

Picked it up earlier. Impressive bit of kit so far. Seems pretty seamless once it's connected. Only issue I've found so far is it has a hard time turning on the PS5 from Rest Mode and struggles to connect. Only thing I've found that helps so far is turning Airplane Mode on and off again, then it can connect straight away. Not sure if there's a better fix for it.

Have you tried online battles with it? interested in potential lag

Actually yeah, I'd say there is a little bit of lag. Was playing it in a different room this morning and was missing a few more combos and inputs than usual. Also noticed while in practice mode that if I pressed down to duck it sometimes registered it as two inputs and I'd sidestep.

It still seems mostly fine, and perfectly playable (again, I won some matches but probably could have done better), so if a lot of precision is required there can be an issue at times with lag.

Son decided to pick one up with his confirmation money....that worked out nicely for me :D

The likes of dark souls, or sifu doable on the portal? or is the latency too much..?

I don't play either but I played Helldivers and that was fine. Most games are great, I get the occasional dip for a second or two but not long lasting enough to make it unplayable.

Anyone had issues with it thinking a button was still being pressed down? It's happened me twice now, once with R2 and last night with the left dpad button. Even in menus.

Yeah I've a Steamdeck and Portal and I'd be inclined to spring for the Steamdeck if you can. Apparently it's easy and reliable enough to use the SD as a remote player for your PS5 anyway, and you then have a huge Steam library to play games locally anyway.

This week's update supports logging into public wifi now. But in saying that I did try to play while I was at a hotel in Kinsale. I tried both the hotel wifi and hot spotting over 4G and neither was what I'd class as playable.

You could grab the old Steam Deck model, even a refurb, and get the best of both worlds. Can play locally and can play remotely and via the cloud.

Not that I've found, once the PS is on in Rest mode it should connect. Is it not connecting to the hotspot or not connecting to the PS5?
