It doesn't directly connect to the PS5 console while at home to guarantee a stutter free high resolution feed video (ex: Wii U gamepad did it 10 years ago, no wifi required) and instead relies on your home wifi network which can be bad/flaky regardless of your ISP or even router. With PLENTY of online complaints from users wasting countless hours unable to get a smooth streaming experience.
It doesn't have WiFi 6 which is wild for a dedicated streaming device.
It's streaming quality is no better than if you used your phone or laptop. In fact, Portal quality is often worse if you use Chiaki on mobile/PC. (I don't understand how some internet randos know networking and decoding better than Sony)
At $130 though? I think it's definitely worth a shot to see how quality is on your home network. Albeit I'm shocked how many owners gloss over these issues.
I get what you're saying but this is more purpose built vs your solution.

Does anyone know if these come with a full manufacturer warranty otherwise when they're open box?
Why would you spend $3 less for worse condition?

Sometimes its not even worse condition. You could put excellent condition next to fair of the same item and not be able to tell why they labeled it that way. Also availability vs distance.
Yeah but that would tie up the phone / laptop / tablet and use their battery. And you have to putz around with controller pairing. And bringing two things with you.

100% agree, I have one and it's just been sitting.
How much?
No it's not..

No clue, I'm thinking it's in a random brown box.
Also, this was the only one at my store listed online.

That's not true unless you want to play multiplayer games on it..
