Did anyone else get their Playstation Portal? I’m having issues with couch seating and my natural grip position. The grip is fine, but the screen angle points upward too much, resulting in glare from whatever is behind and above me (a window, no less). I can change my grip to angle the screen downward towards me, but it’s really uncomfortable. Things are better if I sit straight up and hold the Portal lower.

But I’m a a creature of comfort and I’m going to be sitting chill on the couch using this thing. I honestly don’t understand how this is even a problem; I never even thought about this ever with my Switch or Steam Deck. Did Playstation not, like, survey a bunch of 30-50 year olds who are probably gonna kick back on a couch to use this thing?


Update: I changed my grip a bit and it helped! Also, holding it upright closer to my face feels okay, too. Lost track of time and my hand wasn’t in any discomfort after a few hours, trying various games in different genres.

      Fuck no. Enjoy your subscription increases to play games, I guess…

        Hmm, I’m enjoying the fuck outta Spider-Man 2 actually. Have fun waiting years to play it.

        I also have a pc and an a series x so honestly the cost makes no difference to me. I’d rather have access to their first parties.

        And the point remains if you don’t like PlayStation that’s fine but then don’t be toxic and stay off the community.

          Hey buddy, I appreciate you, but we’re both just feeding trolls at this point. How are you liking Spider-Man 2? I’m almost done with Ragnarok and can’t wait to start it! Especially on my portal just to swing around.

            I loved it! I don’t have a portal just because I like to play on the big screen but it’s been a ton of fun. I’m really happy they went back to the original Peter model too, that might be the best part of the whole game, lol.
