The thing that bugs me the most is it's not even purpose built "well".

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.

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.

I get what you're saying but this is more purpose built vs your solution.

I love mine. Bad info from people who know nothing about it. You are getting a full PS5 controller with feedback, rumble, ext. Stream your console anywhere with good wifi (best at home of course), no ps+ needed. Stream games with ps+ from cloud (no ps5 needed). No need for phone attachments and eating phone batteries. For $200, it has resulted in more gameplay for me, and overall statistics provided by Sony support this as well.

Thanks OP. At that price I'll try it out and see if it's really in excellent condition. With Xbox raising prices it's only a matter of time for Sony to do the same.

Alert finally set off after a year; trying it out. If my Galaxy s21 and Mac book 2018 can handle the mirroring ok then this surely has to be better?

It's a streaming device, what exactly would you be jailbreaking?

No clue on streaming.

But if you purchase the highest tier of PS+, you can stream a library of games from psn.

I echo this comment. I have had one since launch and use it wayyy more than I ever used my PS5 by itself. It is just so easy to grab and get playing while my wife and I are watching Netflix. I've used it at home, at my in-laws house and on the road. Fantastic device and thinking of buying a second one as a backup. Killer deal. Thanks OP.

It's a streaming device. Saying the Playstation Portal requires PS+to play multiplayer fames is akin to saying your TV requires a Netflix subscription to watch Netflix. Duh. The portal requirements are whatever your PS5 requirements are for the game you want to play. Having said that, using the Portal only has one requirement, that you have a PS5
