With most people having iPad or whatever with bigger screens, who cares about watching Netflix on this thing LoL. Why would I surf the internet on this thing? Why would I want to only use it as a standalone controller with my PS 5? Wired headphones are still widely available so who cares about that either? The first month's video reviews showed everyone exactly what it was so why are people still acting surprised? This thing is going to get a lot of use from me because I accept it for what it is instead of complaining about what it is not. Game on 👍

    Sorry, the problem with the Portal is that it's not meant for everyone. But for who it's made, they love it. It's a niche product. People who don't need it hate it! That doesn't make it a bad product.
    The reason it doesn't have a random Bluetooth headset support is because every bluetooth headset has a different version of Bluetooth. And ensuring the sound quality remains top notch means restrictions.

    Not to sound harsh, but Sony should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for this thing. Wii U did it better. I understand the logic, but for $200, this thing should work flawlessly. I got one a few days ago, and the stick drift is awful, and when I try to scroll down a menu with the directional pad it acts like the buttons are stuck and it scrolls too far up or down. If anyone has a fix for this, please share, I have the current update and even completely reset it and it still does it.

    Normally when I do Remote Play on my iPad, it's pretty good. But yesterday it lagged so much that I couldn't use it at all. I had to go upstairs to my PS5 and play directly (I was trying to play in the same house, just 1 floor below, so the distance wasn't an issue). I don't know what the issue was, but the Remote Play yesterday was really bad.
