People lacking a DS4. Also collapses, has easy charging pass through.🤷

Even with the 25$ credit, I can't bring myself to buy this when I own 6 DS4s (I still use them for MK). I have one of those crappy phone mounts that sits on top of the controller. Balance is weird, but ok. Overall, I still prefer to using a tablet (or laptop) and controller though. But I'm usually gaming like this while traveling for work rather than waiting in line, or on break at work.

Is mainly for remote if you're away from you PS4/5 or home and someone else is using the TV , and you can also use this backbone remote device to play other game apps on your phone that's compatible with this device.

What's the price on the warehouse? Sometimes it's cheaper than the online price
I'm wondering the same thing. I guess I'll risk it and go into the store.

I have PS4 and PS5.

If I buy this, Can I use any game on it ? Or does it have the its own App Store ? Any good free games ?

Same…the mount I have is pretty good and it works well. Even for $50 I just can't seem to justify getting one of these.

If you do not have a Costco card you can order it off of Instacart. The price says 62 but Instacart has a 20$ off discount as well my total was 58$ . I don't have an Instacart account either so my total was higher. It also arrives the same day.

I have had a deal alert for this for a while. If I am in the Xbox ecosystem would this still be useful? Can I sell the PSN credit or can I buy games just for the phone?

I have a 13mini I'll probably just keep for gaming purpose when I upgrade down the road. I don't like how big and bulky these things get when they're hooked up to big phones

I just called our local Charlotte warehouse and it's the same price as online. I just bought online since I didn't want to brave the weekend holiday crowds.

I tried these and returned it. Not as comfortable to use. Personally found the ones that are designed like a regular controller with the clip attachment on top to hold the cellphone much more convenient and sturdy

I got this on Black Friday for $70. I thought this was the case friendly version but it most definitely is not, could not get it to connect and my case is a huge pain to remove so I returned it to Costco....

....and kept my $25 psn credit. 😂

I can't go back in good faith and buy another one, lol.

These are solid quality. Using one with the GTA Netflix releases.
