@Th3solution My dad was the same with getting a ps5 last year, he waited too long and then the price went back up. He is now reluctant to get one in price drops again. I see it has in some outlets in the UK, but I have given up in letting him know.

@Th3solution I had no idea they would sell out so fast considering how much negativity there was towards this product when it was announced. I thought nobody would buy it as it's «just» a streaming device and not an actual handheld. I've had a great experience in the past with streaming PS4 games to Vita so I already knew I needed this device and I knew it would deliver a good experience. Turns out I was right, as I've been using Portal every day since I got Persona 3 Reload and the streaming quality is immaculate. It's like I'm playing the game natively on the device, it's just so good. Hopefully you'll find one soon!

The only issue I've run into now is that the device won't turn on my PS5 immediately anymore. It takes like a minute before the signal is received and my PS5 turns on, which wouldn't happen before. Don't know what the issue is.

@JohnnyShoulder @LtSarge Yeah, as I had said previously, I’ve been pondering the Portal for a while but with none available it was a non-issue, so that was probably my hesitation yesterday. When suddenly it was no longer a hypothetical and there was actually stock, I had to be sure before I clicked the ‘purchase’ button, and although $200 isn’t an enormous investment, I didn’t want to have it be an impulse buy in the middle of a busy day. As I thought about how great it will be to play Baldur’s Gate 3 on the couch with March Madness on the tele or in bed while I wind down every night, I got more convinced.

But yeah, it’s weird how a lot of people continue to say how the Portal is a failure. I just read one of the trolls say that in a front page comment section earlier this week. I thought, “what are you talking about? They are flying off the virtual shelves!”

And of course scalpers
