It sold out immediately and is still sold out.
This was shocking to me tbh. I have two brothers-in-law and they both bought the peripheral and like it.
I actually want it since I have a daughter. I just refuse to pay that high of a price for a non-oled screen. Especially for a screencast emulator.
For finding and reporting a security vulnerability to Sony?
The product sold well enough and if they really gave a shit they'd make it official, not via an exploit. You can play PSP games via PS Plus Premium ®™©
Out of the blue, my brother bought one for his son, because his PS5 is in the living room and sometimes the kid wants to play.
It's kind of douchey to show off the hack in a way that gives a function people really want knowing it won't be available to them. They could have just done "hello world" or got Doom running.
I keep hearing it's always sold out and even Sony themselves have mentioned it sold above expectations...so i don't think that's an issue for them.
Bruh the portal is the shit. No janky ass hacky ways.. dual sense 1080p gaming on the shitter. Been using my ps5 way more
Limited space probably.
Agreed on the point of selling more, but it is in fact popular. It sold out immediately.
That's...literally what hacking was and always has been. In fact companies have always hired hackers to find exploits their systems may have and report them.
That's exactly what happened here. "The good ol' days" was like this as well.
That was a cracking hacking explanation.
You mind naming what the security vulnerability there is champ?
Really? I wonder how many units are produced? I own many PlayStation products because I love the brand. But the PS Portal is simply something that I will never buy. For example, in my opinion, PS TV is a much better product in the PlayStation family than PS Portal.
Unauthorized access to Sony's device? It's a security vulnerability obviously.
With shit comfort
I own the Portal and I kind of agree
Yeah Ive been using mine for a bit but I'm throwing it up on ebay most likely. The steam deck does what it does and actually does it better due to the HDR.
We called people like that "Smart while in class, dumb during break".
Those situations don't really exist in the private sector unless you actually use the exploit to cause financial harm or otherwise break the law. I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a professional services pitch from Google to help Sony improve their security, though.
i know right, what could go wrong /s
You're talking about the man who pretty much singlehandedly gave us the PS Vita jailbreak as we know it today, as well as complete backwards compatibility with PSP and PS1 on it through Adrenaline, among many other things.
You can get emulation devices that run android for like 150-200 and just use the PlayStation app for streaming.
Oh, for sure. You can get a phone for like $100-150 and attach a controller just for the purpose.
