    And the dual-sense then attaches to your phone and increases the size of the screen for free?

      Get some glue and make a holder or something. Bigger screen? Use a tablet, laptop, or PC that you’ve probably already got. £200 for a device that can’t do anything on its own? Stop bending over for them.

          Yeah, and convenience used to be putting multiple different functions in one device. Now apparently it’s more convenient to pay £200 for a device that can literally only do one thing instead of using the many other devices you already own to conveniently do the same thing.

            Yeah, I always use my Swiss army knife in the kitchen, way more convenient than using my chef’s knife, because it combines so many functions.

            Convenience is often a tool that does one thing and does it really well. Combining multiple functions almost always complicates things.

            I used to own a combination microwave/oven/steamer/grill that I replaced with a simple microwave, as I rarely if ever used any of those other functions. Guess which one is more convenient to use?

            Compare a simple black and white laser printer with an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax combo an tell me which one is more convenient.

              I’d say the printer/scanner/fax combo is more convenient the second you either need to scan something or find yourself in the 1980s and need to send a fax.

              It’s kinda absurd to think Sony can’t put more than one feature into this £200 device without over complicating it. There’s no reason it couldn’t stream from PS Now, all the hardware it needs is already there. It’s just the bare minimum and much of the potential was squandered.

          A handheld that can only stream games from a home console is anything but convenient.

            On the contrary, it’s super convenient. You turn it on, it connects, you play.
