I'm setup to do it right now and I can't. If you've ever used remote play it's a bit clunk with mixing and matching your own pieces.

I see this selling worse than the PSTV. Its such a pointless device that most people don't need.

Let's hope that Sony has read all of the criticisms (and rightly so) about the device, and add some tech that we haven't been privy to when the Project Q is released. But it's Sony, who has a long history of releasing hardwares that are poorly thought of, and abandoning them soon after. I don't see the PQ being a success at all, but we'll see.

If it's like remote play you can stream from anywhere but your ps5 has to be on at home, basically your ps5 becomes your cloud and works well but there is delay

This thing is DOA if it’s just for streaming.

I think i's interesting that it's running android, as it means there's a full fledged ARM or RISC-V SoC in it. Though considering we can find full fledged ARM SoCs for as low as $7 (probably less if you're Sony doing a 100k order) this isn't out of the ordinary, as it becomes much easier to do software updates.
It might also leave some leeway for enhanced gameplay functionality down the road (like the Wii U pad), even if they don't implement it from the start.
The one thing I don't get is all the hate this accessory is getting. Don't like it, don't buy it. Sony isn't wasting any game development resources in this.
Assuming there's no Vita 2 because of Q is nonsense. A full videogame handheld would cost 100x more to develop than this, and would also require Sony to put their 1st party game developers dedicated to it.
In its current form, Q can be completely transparent and effortless to game devs.

More like 199
Even then it's DOA if it's remote play only.
Be nice if you could use it as a controller for the ps5 kinda like how the Wii u screen worked

Considering how big the screen is, I’d buy it. Play PS5 from my bed or when tv is in use. Don’t see why so many people are negative about it.
SteamDeck streams great already but a bigger screen and dualsense controller would be nice.

That's only licensed, not made by Sony.
And indeed this most likely won't be under 100USD but it doesn't matter.
It's just an accessory to give more options to players.

HELL YES
LETS GO
DAY ONE
Haters and idiots don’t see the appeal but remote play device that has all haptics of PS5 controllers and reliable connection based on Android so you’ll probs be able to hack it and put things like moonlight on it.
Boom amazing device.
Piss off nerds who don’t understand but will happily pay for an OLED switch when they have the base one.
Rise up PLAYSTATION KINGS.

Same. I don't know how practical or helpful a device like this is going to be.
I'd have completely supported the idea had it seamlessly integrated with PS Plus and allowed people to stream games via Cloud. But if it is just a Remote Play device, then I don't see the point.

Sticking with the steamdeck. Will get the earbuds though.

I think people are just expecting it to be way overpriced. Pretty sure all the negativity will disappear if it comes in at $120 or so.

Looks like it shouldn't cost more than $120, will probably be a decent way of getting an extra controller with an added feature.
Any higher price and it will suck balls.

It’s 150€ max for me. Anything above that is a NO.

Seems like a waste of resources. Other than a small handful of people using it for remote play, this seems so pointless.

I can understand the scepticism, but I think it's an ideal product for those who don't always have the tv screen available (family lives) and/or don't want to buy a second PS5 for in the bedroom, for example.
Right now, if my gf wants to watch tv, I can use my PSVR2 in cinema-mode, which is pretty neat.
But I don't always feel like being entirely cut-off from the real world.
So something like Project Q would be ideal, imo.
Or it would be convenient if me and my gf have one of those lazy days in bed. She can watch tv and I can use Project Q.

package includes carpal tunnel syndrome and general wrist pain.
Also :
- button configuration is all messed up even on Android 13 on 80-90% of Android devices - ask Google on why it is so.
- Good luck having a good connection on cheap phones that have both the Bluetooth chip and wi-fi antenna on their SOC.
People that keep mentioning the same thing over and over haven't really tried remote play or cloud gaming in general, if they did, they wouldn't keep spouting the same nonsense.
PS : the most viable solutions to this day are the various gadgets like the razer Kishi and Backbone - gadgets which are...a couple of plastics put together that go up to 110 Eurodollars, and people expect a device that has -literally- a joystick cut in half with vibration motors AND haptics, an 8inch screen AND a SOC for 100 Eurodollars ? Right...
I have a feeling that it will be very cheap. They might be contracting some Chinese tablet maker for this.
There are $50 cheap tablets from China in the market right now. .

I love using Remote Play but this is absurd. It just doesn’t fit anywhere and its purpose it’s already done by smartphones, tablets and PCs.
The price is also going to be ridiculous. Even if it’s $149 just get a Switch Lite! You can play games and don’t need another $400 console to use it!

This is for people that ALREADY have a PS5.... Nobody is paying 700 dollars just to play on this thing
It's just a damn ACCESSORY. You don't want it? Don't buy it

The switch lite is $200. If they price it at or even near that, it will look insane.

You guys just don't see what this device is really for or about.
If they do what I think they are going to do in addition to selling this for $200? This thing wi be a hit.

While others dislike this device because of the way it works, I think this is a good idea.
Look at one of the reasons the Vita failed. Lack of big high quality games.
With how this device works, Sony doesn't have to face that issue. You can play all PS5 games on it.
The only disadvantage is the requirement of internet, but the fact you can play PS5 and even PS5 Pro level games on a handheld built with the Dual Sense features more that out weight that disadvantage.
