    Not only does the functionality seem almost completely unnecessary except for a limited use case here and there, but this thing is truly ugly. Who designed this travesty? How would you even store this bumpy hunk of plastic?

    Sony used to have some of the most elegant and clean hardware aesthetics. Their designs were genuinely beautiful, simple, and practical. They used to ooze premium luxury. Now we get a screen with a sawed off controller stuck to the sides? Disappointing.

    You know what? I take it back. The PS5 is shaped like a modem from 1999, it deserves this ugly step-cousin.

      But it does look like more comfortable to hold than psvita. My hands hurt if I play my vita without a grip, which essentially turns the vita into a boomerang.

      I refused to buy a PS5 because of how ugly it is. My friends got one, but I chose an XB1X because of how much better it goes with my house.

        you chose a gaming platform because of how it looks?

      I have a PS5 and I just do remote play to my Android tablet with the ps controller connected via Bluetooth and for most games it’s acceptable; there is a little latency so it wouldn’t be good enough for fps games however. I wouldn’t buy this product but if the latency is improved I could see several of my friends getting one of these.
