And I’m really enjoying the Portal, it’s everything I could hope for in a simple remote play device.
It’s okay. I’m opposed to it only for it’s forced anti-consumer linear capabilities.
There’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t be able to run Xbox cloud or Steam Link or use Bluetooth headphones. And the inability to run it on public WiFi is absurd.
But for $200 I can only complain so much.
Well it’s not made for those things, so I’m not upset it doesn’t do them.
And there actually is a reason it doesn’t use Bluetooth headphones, because Bluetooth adds latency and there would be a delay trying to use them for gaming.
You can see this happen now with a lot of VR headsets, the delay from Bluetooth is really noticeable enough to break immersion.
Well it’s not made for those things
Yes that’s the problem.
And there actually is a reason it doesn’t use Bluetooth headphones
Yes, because Sony wants more of your money.
because Bluetooth adds latency
My guy we have had low latency Bluetooth standards for a long time. You are being duped by corporate propaganda. Do a Google for “AptX LL”. I use Bluetooth headphones on my SteamDeck all the time with no observable latency.
