If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

    If it’s $150 I’m totally getting one. For not much more than a controller you get a 1 for 1 experience for remote play since you get a full dual sense controller. If they want more than $200 I think it’s dead on arrival though.

      There was an Microsoft document during this whole FTC hearing that said that Sony was "also antecipated to release a handheld version of Playstation 5 later this year for under $300"

      Now, under 300 can mean a lot for things, even $150, but if they charge something like 299 for this remote play device its going to flop hard.
